Mapeo movil en municipios zomac (Genova-Quindio e Ipiales-Nariño)

Abstract

This report proposes the implementation of mobile mapping in the municipalities of Génova, in the department of Quindío, and Ipiales, in the department of Nariño. This initiative aims to improve road connectivity in these areas, which are part of the Zones Most Affected by the Conflict (ZOMAC), through the use of advanced technologies such as topographic surveys and geographic information systems (GIS). These methods allow for a detailed and accurate road inventory, facilitating strategic decision-making for infrastructure improvement. Génova, known as the "Cordial Municipality of Colombia," is characterized by its mountainous geography and an agricultural economy mainly focused on coffee production. Its tertiary roads are essential for connecting rural areas with the urban center, but their poor condition has made it difficult to transport goods and access essential services. The use of topographic surveys and GIS in this municipality has enabled a more precise analysis of the current state of the road network, identifying the areas most in need of intervention. On the other hand, Ipiales, known as the "Municipality of Green Clouds," is a border town with a diversified economy based on trade, agriculture, and tourism, with the Sanctuary of Las Lajas as one of its main attractions. However, extreme weather conditions and the natural deterioration of the roads have negatively impacted rural connectivity. The application of mobile mapping technologies, combined with topographic surveys and GIS, has facilitated the collection of precise geospatial data on the condition of the roads, allowing authorities to develop improvement plans based on reliable information. The project's objective is to conduct a detailed inventory of the tertiary roads in these municipalities, identifying priority areas for intervention and promoting collaboration with local administrations. The use of topographic surveys and GIS has been key to analyzing the road network, providing georeferenced data that allows for the evaluation of terrain topography, road quality, and specific maintenance needs. The implementation of these technologies in Génova and Ipiales represents an opportunity to optimize the planning and execution of road projects, facilitating access to essential services and promoting economic development. Through the collection of accurate data, the project seeks to improve mobility and the quality of life of residents, ensuring that infrastructure decisions are based on rigorous and up-to-date technical information.
