Diseño de un Proceso Geoestadístico de Zonoficación Homogénea Básica y Económica Mediante la Técnica Multivariante de Cluster y la Implementación del Modelo de Kriging para el Cantón Chaguarpamba - Provincia de Loja.

Abstract

"The tittering Project is a Zonification process of biophysical variables such as Slope, y Mass Movements, Erosión Susceptibility. In socioeconomic variables the significant ones are Land Resource Demand, Road Access, Basic Services Availability and Urban Arca Access, considering a study case the Chaguarpamba Canton, Loja Provinec, a thesis devcloped within the Regularization and Administration of Rural Lands — PRAT. In the study and analysis the multivariant cluster technique, the spatial correlation and variograms have been implemented to conclude with the lineal interpolation of the Kriging Model. The reliability level is 90% which homogenizes each variable group. All this was carried out in the SAS 9.1 software (Statistical Analysis System) and ArcGIS 9.3 (software for Geographic Information Systems).

280 houses of a universe of 620 plots have also been sampled with an error margin of. more less 5% to calculate the valuc of the plots of the land hectare on the basis of the Production, Yield and Production Destination System of the investigated plot.

Finally from the results, it was possible to conclude that 76% the canton area is an eroded area with sharp slopes offering no guarante for the farming practices of their people. Moreover the most distant zones from the populated sectors show scarce basic services and a bad infrastructure; this is why low monetary values are obtained per hectare ranging from 250 to 3.250 USD."
