Abstract

En este artículo se muestran los diversos campos de aplicación de los sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIGs), para lo cual se intenta presentar una clasificación de las áreas del conocimiento donde se están llevando a cabo las más importantes aplicaciones.

La anterior clasificación no supone que sea única ni estándar, sólo busca ofrecer al lector una forma de conocer las más diversas aplicaciones de esta moderna tecnología.

Posteriormente, se presentan dos estudios de casos, los cuales fueron desarrollados en el laboratorio de Sistemas de Información Geográfica de la Escuela de Ciencias Geográficas de la Universidad Nacional (LSIGAE-ECG).

Estos dos casos fueron elegidos por tratarse de aplicaciones diferentes, la primera de ellas dirigida a la implementación del SIG en el proceso de Zonificación Agroecológica y la segunda, a la Actualización de la Cartografía 1:10.000, el caso de la región Heredia.

ABSTRACT

This article shows the diversity of fields applying Geographical Information Systems technologies. A classification of the most known areas implementing these technology is presented. This classification does not pretend to be the only or standard classification. The idea is to offer the reader a format for introducing the most diverse applications of this modern technology.

Afterwards, two case studies are presented which were carried out in the Geographical Information Systems Laboratory of the School of Geographical Sciences of the National University of Costa Rica (LSIGAE-ECG). The two case studies were chosen to present different applications; the firs directed to the implementation of GIS in the process of Agro-Ecological Zonification and the second regarding the Actualization of the Cartographic Map Series 1:10.000, Case study of the Region of Heredia.
