Análisis de conglomerados, actividades agropecuarias, Reserva Chimborazo, uso del sueloResumen
Este estudio tuvo como objetivo la caracterización de las actividades agropecuarias en tres comunidades de la Reserva Chimborazo. Para lo cual, se empleó un análisis de conglomerados K-medias. Como resultados clave, la aplicación de K-medias permitió la identificación de tipologías productivas distintivas, indicando predominancia de la ganadería ovina y bovina, junto con la agricultura, con variaciones significativas en intensidad y diversificación entre las comunidades. Se estableció una correlación directa entre estas tipologías agropecuarias y la presión sobre los recursos naturales, evidenciada por el cambio de la cobertura vegetal natural para áreas de cultivo y pastoreo. Adicionalmente, la caracterización socioeconómica de los conglomerados mostro diferencias notables en ingresos, acceso a recursos y tenencia de la tierra, factores que inciden directamente en las decisiones productivas. Los resultados respaldan la necesidad de implementar estrategias de manejo diversificadas y programas de uso sostenible del suelo, integrando la compleja interconexión entre el bienestar humano, las prácticas productivas y la conservación ambiental en los vulnerables ecosistemas del área protegida.
