Item Propuesta metodológica de una zonificación edáfica caso de estudio cuenca Amaime municipio de Palmira(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2020) Rivera Paja, Albin Oswaldo; Melo Vargas, Andrés FelipeGeographic Information Systems (GIS) today have become a powerful tool to predict phenomena in any field of science, however, they have gained greater strength in environmental sciences, mainly in land and resource administration. natural. To demonstrate the effectiveness of GIS in making institutional decisions, a soil zoning methodology was designed, taking as a case study the Amaime Basin of the municipality of Palmira, and where, based on processing and crossings of different concepts and geospatial characteristics, it is possible to identify the environmental offer that these soils have, the critical zones and their respective edaphic zoning. Said zoning alludes to the grouping of soil-forming and deforming factors, in addition, it provides information on the current and future conditions of the ecosystem that makes up the study area, and allows establishing actions in an effective and timely manner that promote conservation, protection and sustainability of the territory under study. The processing, from the GIS, of the secondary information of the Amaime Basin of the Palmira municipality, obtained from Departmental and National territorial entities, shows as a result that this Basin is rich in both types of soil, as well as in ecosystem biodiversity, which In turn, each of these components and their intersection present essential characteristics that determine the type of use, the favorable and unfavorable conditions that must be taken into account, how anthropic settlements behave at this time and should improve their , to mitigate the environmental damage practices of this Basin.
