Análisis Espacial Para Interpretar La Relación Entre Economía Y Territorio en Xalapa Veracruz a Través Del Geoprocesamiento De Autocorrelación Espacial Índice De Moran Como Diseño Metodológico en La Formación Del Arquitecto

Abstract

The contemporary city represents an intellectual challenge that defies intelligence and imagination, its understanding requires breaking down the disciplinary barriers and build a bridge between theoretical and heuristic knowledge, stimulating creativity in the search for methods of observation, measurement, representation and analysis. A constant methodological problem is the lack of models that determine and represent the transversal and longitudinal phenomena that take place in the city, whose unique vision of urbanism, generates a limitation to demonstrate these processes. For this reason, this disciplinary condition generates the need to see trends, concepts, and methodologies of other disciplines that manage the guiding axis of urbanism.The economic development serves as a booster of territorial growth, thus, this link leads to interpret the areas in which economic activities are located and explore how the conformation of the Xalapa city is spatially explained with the help of techniques from other disciplines such as statistics and geography to validate methodological processes.The objective of this work is to show architecture students the proposal of a geostatistical analysis to demonstrate the organization, correlation and spatial association attending to clusters or groups through Cluster Analysis and atypical value, since this geoprocess identifies hot spots, cold spots and spatial outliers that are statistically significant using the "I Anselin local de Morán" statistics. Also, this process allows managing and identifying concentration and dispersion zones that promote the base for the location of vulnerable areas and strategic solutions for economic development and whose methodology can generate urban analyzes of another nature.

Setting the stage for the restoration of an Annona glabra swamp after exotic grass invasion

“…In the lower areas there is a fragment of swamp dominated by Annona glabra , accompanied by a flooded palm grove (López‐Rosas & Moreno‐Casasola 2022). The study area underwent a land‐use change approximately 50 years ago when cattle and the forage grass Echinochloa pyramidalis were introduced to raise cattle (Sánchez‐García 2020). In 2018, cattle were excluded from the property (Fig.…”

“…However, to a lesser extent, there are also intermixed native hydrophytic species in the area, such as Pontederia sagittata C. Presl (Pontederiaceae), Typha domingensis Pers. (cattail, Typhaceae), Thalia geniculata L. (alligator flag, Marantaceae), Echinodorus paniculatus Micheli (Alismataceae), and different species of sedges, as well as isolated trees of A. glabra from the original freshwater swamp (Sánchez‐García 2020).…”
