    聽In Honduras there are important advances linked to land use planning and planning, to share a case, was the first country in Central America to have a Law on Land Use Planning (2003). However, at the national level there are 763 territorial plans at municipal level that have different approaches, of which very few have managed to have an implementation phase. So the results at the level of society and territory are not tangible. Similar cases occur in the rest of the Region. Due to the above, it is considered that there is little progress in Honduras and Central America in territorial management processes and actions. Therefore, it is necessary to generate the spaces, institutional tools and municipal technicians trained to promote the implementation of these processes, to ensure good land governance, directly affecting the quality of life of the population, as a maximum objective Of the Territorial Ordering.En Honduras existen importantes avances vinculados al Ordenamiento y la Planificaci贸n Territorial, para compartir un caso, fue el primer pa铆s de Centroam茅rica en contar con una Ley de Ordenamiento Territorial (2003). Sin embargo, se cuentan a nivel nacional con 763 planes territoriales a escala municipal que poseen diferentes enfoques, de ellos, muy pocos han logrado tener una fase de implementaci贸n. Por lo que los resultados a nivel de sociedad y territorio no son tangibles. Casos similares se presentan en el resto de la Regi贸n Centroamericana. Por lo anterior es necesario generar los espacios, herramientas institucionales y t茅cnicos municipales capacitados para fomentar la implementaci贸n de estos procesos, para garantizar una buena gobernanza del suelo, incidiendo de manera directa en la mejora de la calidad de vida de la poblaci贸n, como finalidad m谩xima del Ordenamiento Territorial

    The peculiar characteristics of the Central American land policy, land tenure that makes their territories, the constraints of urban development, demographics, economic activities, infrastructure and other factors involved in regional planning require a methodology that provides an aid in decision making. Here, we present a methodology, applied to the town of Tela, just north of Honduras, which facilitates the development of prospective scenarios for human settlements, urban and rural land, in order to plan their growth with guarantees of welfare. This will help us understand how the actions we take today can influence the future of the territories.Revista Ciencias Espaciales, Volumen 8, N煤mero 2 Oto帽o, 2015; 134-151Las caracter铆sticas peculiares de las pol铆ticas de suelo de Centroam茅rica, la tenencia de la tierra que conforman sus territorios, los condicionantes de desarrollo urbano, su demograf铆a, sus actividades econ贸micas, infraestructurales y dem谩s actores que intervienen en la ordenaci贸n del territorio exige de una metodolog铆a que proporcione un instrumento de ayuda en la toma de decisiones.En este sentido, se presenta una metodolog铆a, aplicada al municipio de Tela, situado al norte de Honduras, que facilita la elaboraci贸n de escenarios de prospectiva para asentamientos humanos, en suelos urbano y rural, con el fin de poder planificar su crecimiento con garant铆as de bienestar. Ello nos ayudar谩 a comprender c贸mo las acciones que hoy tomamos pueden influir en el futuro de los territorios.Revista Ciencias Espaciales, Volumen 8, N煤mero 2 Oto帽o, 2015; 134-15

    The Pfafstetter methodology has been applied within this case of study in order to identify and analyze a micro watershed that covers 8 municipality鈥檚 in the middle west part of Honduras. Known as MAMCEPAZ. This exercise allows us to identify some draining units, based on the characteristics of the land鈥檚 surface. We conclude that those characteristics could be governed making decisions based on a model in which the territorial management takes a protagonist role that guarantee a sustainable use to all the resources within the territory, especially water.El art铆culo explica la aplicaci贸n de la metodolog铆a Pfafstetter para el estudio de identificaci贸n y an谩lisis de microcuencas hidrogr谩驴cas de los 8 municipios de la Mancomunidad MAMCEPAZ en el centro-occidente de Honduras. La aplicaci贸n de dicha metodolog铆a permiti贸 la identi驴caci贸n de las unidades de drenaje basado en las caracter铆sticas de la super驴cie del terreno las cuales poseen caracter铆sticas territoriales particulares en los 8 municipios de estudio, se prev茅 que a partir de la identi驴caci贸n de las microcuencas, estas puedan ser gobernadas mediante la toma de decisiones basadas en un modelo en donde la gesti贸n territorial tenga un papel protag贸nico para garantizar de esa forma el manejo sostenible de los recursos territoriales, incluidos el recurso suelo y agua

    Measuring and categorizing the water-related downstream risks associated with mineral extraction in Honduras: How severe, and how distributed?

    No full text
    Predictions about the spatial distribution of environmental impacts related to extractive industries have commonly assumed an inverse relationship between the severity of impact and distance from the site of extraction. However, because of the salience of water to both extractive industries and other livelihood strategies, many severe externalities of extractive development are experienced in areas hydrologically linked to the site of extraction, though these areas may not be those closest to mines themselves. This paper uses cadastral and remotely sensed data to model the spatial distribution of water, and extractive industries in Honduras and identify hydrological links between mines and downstream areas. Based on water availability, and the amount of upstream extractive development, it describes vulnerability to water-related risks from extractive industries in terms of severity as well as its concentration, measuring how local or spatially distributed are potential sources of impact. A consideration of risks experienced by agricultural producers indicates that small-scale farmers and large, commercial growers face distinctly different types of risk, and suggests that each group may pursue different strategies for mitigation. These strategies differ with respect to the spatial and administrative scales at which they would be pursued, as well as the degree to which they push for governance approaches focusing on spatially-defined, cadastral units of regulation or on broader regional and landscape impacts
