Propuesta metodológica para la determinación de áreas mineras a través de análisis de cartografía digital
Abstract
The present study seeks to contribute to the development of a methodology, based on the use of available digital cartography, with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), in the definition of areas susceptible to direct intervention in mining development, through mining works and operations, without deteriorating the Main Ecological Structure, carrying out the processing of information, analysis and evaluation by providing environmental assessment criteria to companies that have the possibilities of mining development.
For the municipality of Chivata, the Ecological Structure is made up of the following covers: Natural Forest, Planted Forest, Rupícola Vegetation and Páramo. In addition, what corresponds to the protection bands of the water recharge zones for the Tunja aquifer, which are traced longitudinally to the territory in three northeastern directions, including the springs, springs and water currents.
The geological structure present in the municipality is the basis on which the water recharge area is made possible and structured since it has the same direction of the aquifer and therefore is where the mining titles concessioned by the National Mining Agency and graduates are located. the corresponding Environmental Authority.
