Crecimiento de la huella urbana en la UPZ 89 ubicada dentro de la Reserva Forestal Protectora Bosque Oriental de Bogotá y sus efectos en la cobertura boscosa entre 2000 y 2021

Abstract

The project aims to determine the variation of forest cover in UPZ 89 from the year 2000 to the year 2021 and calculate the replacement cost as a method to estimate the economic valuation of the impact associated with the change in forest cover in the Forest Reserve. Protectora Bosque Oriental de Bogotá (RFPBOB), due to urban expansion in recent years. It was carried out through a multi-temporal analysis of the period between the year 2000 and the year 2021 with a periodicity of 10 years, in order to identify the transformation of the territory as a result of the growth of the urban footprint in the UPZ 89 to carry out an assessment. economic impact based on the current and potential cost methodology – replacement cost approach. The results of the study were the identification of the impact associated with the loss of forest cover in the Reserve and, in accordance with the above, an approximation of the value of its ecological restoration so that it can be used as a tool for future projects in charge of the institutions. district and national authorities that guarantee the sustainability of the Reserve.
