Resumen
Durante la década de los noventa, Costa Rica se vio sometida a una crisis económica provocada por la caída de los precios de exportación del café. Esto motivó un proyecto de investigación titulado Causas y Consecuencias de los Desastres Naturales bajo el convenio de colaboración entre la Escuela de Ciencias Geográficas de la Universidad Nacional y la Facultad de Geografía de la Universidad de Utrecht, Holanda. El proyecto analiza los cambios en los factores socioeconómicos de la región Puriscal de Costa Rica que se produjeron a raíz de esta crisis económica. En el estudio se presentan las modificaciones del patrón espacial de uso del suelo como resultado de este fenómeno. Se presentan las transformaciones espaciales y temporales que se produjeron debido a la reducción de la superficie total sembrada de café.
During the nineties, Costa Rica was subjected to an economic crisis caused by the decline in exportation prices of coffee. This motivated a research project entitled Causes and Consequences of Natural Disasters under the agreement of collaboration between the School of Geography Sciences of the National University and the Faculty of Geography of the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands. The project analyzes changes in the socio-economic factors in the Puriscal region of Costa Rica that came about because of this economics crisis. Modifications of the spatial land use pattern as a result of this phenomenon are presented in the study. Presented are the spatial and temporal transformations that occurred due to a reduction in the total area planted in coffee.
