Abstract
Los espacios rurales durante las últimas décadas se han transformado aceleradamente producto de cambios en las dinámicas económicas. Esta investigación realizada en la Fila Brunqueña, caracteriza la estructura del paisaje durante los años de 1960, 1972 y 2007, utilizando los índices biométricos comoson el de forma, de borde, de tipo de uso, de tamaño de fragmento, de número de fragmento, los cuales se complementan con las variables de distribución de estos fragmentos en función de la pendiente y su localización con respecto a los cuerpos de aguas superficiales. Se concluye que durante los cuarenta últimos años se ha presentado una fuerte restauración ecológica, condiciones que están amenazadas en
el actual desarrollo turístico.

Abstract:
During the last decades, rural spaces have transformed rapidly as result of the changes in economic dynamics. This investigation was carried out in Fila Brunqueña, Costa Rica, characterizing the structure of the landscape during the years 1960, 1972 and 2007, using biometric indexes such as form, borders, type of use, size of fragment and number of fragments. Those indexes are complemented with the distribution variables of these fragments in terms of slope of the land in relation to the rivers and creeks. This study concluded that during the last forty years there has been strong ecological restoration. However, ecological conditions are threatened by the current tourism development model.
