Abstract:

The laboratory focuses on monitoring socio-environmental indicators related to the degradation and environmental impact generated by anthropic activities on forest areas and any other activities associated with environmental sites. In this regard, it is worth highlighting that the country's forests provide a wide range of ecosystem services (ES), which are understood as benefits that ecosystems offer to people and that directly or indirectly influence their well-being. Urban peripheries offer ES at multiple temporal and spatial scales, and their sustainability is crucial for the survival of cities. Geospatial Information Technologies (GITs) enable the development, application, and dissemination of knowledge aimed at solving problems in socio-ecological systems (SES). The project provides society with a practical geospatial tool (Dashboard) that monitors resilience and adaptation indicators in SES. The development and enhancement of Earth Observation through the construction of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) will enable the capture, storage, analysis, and visualization of geographic data. Understanding temporal and spatial socio-ecological changes is necessary to identify historical trends and project future changes, thus allowing for the proposal of guidelines for informed decision-making and integrated land-use planning, with a focus on sustainability and resilience in societies.
