Socioeconomic characterization of the families.
With the socioeconomic characterization of the families, the status of the use and tenure situation within the PA has been identified, which in turn has allowed the PNN to orient its governance and land planning actions. In turn, this has allowed the PNN to orient its governance and land planning actions. In order to achieve the socioeconomic characterization of the farming families, several activities were carried out, which are described below.
Surveys to obtain primary information on the following variables:
Population according to gender and age.
Family composition
Educational level by gender
Occupation by gender
Health.
Access to state programs.
Housing characteristics.
Basic sanitation.
Accessibility: access roads, means of transportation and travel time.
Identification of production systems.
Field visits: Visit to the farms and verification of the information provided in the surveys. Also, georeferencing of the boundaries and land use of the property, water intake where the water is taken for family consumption and the site of the house were carried out.
Use of Geographic Information Systems: Aimed at processing the information collected in the field and in turn generate maps with the polygons of the farms and the location of the families.
- Funding from the European Union, WWF, ACT and other projects such as: Conservation of the Biodiversity of the Colombian Massif, Strengthening of Community Autonomy around Life, Territory, Environment, in Amazonian sub-regions, Moore Foundation Piedemonte Andino Amazónico, Conservation actions in 8 National Parks in the area of influence of the Colombian Massif.
- Availability of GIS
- Recognition of the existence of a PA by the rural communities and willingness of the inhabitants to provide information.
- Strengthening of the trust process with the farming families, in which the park team, through constant rapprochement and implementation of different exercises and actions, is able to maintain and improve a relationship of familiarity and closeness, which they have been working on for some time.
- The PNN technical team has acquired expertise in conducting this type of socio-economic characterization.
