El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar el impacto ambiental de la colonización agrícola de Coto Brus y los cambios en el paisaje experimentados en su territorio a partir de 1940. Este estudio pone en evidencia la otra cara del explosivo desarrollo que tuvo Coto Brus en sus primeras décadas de existencia y además cómo los patrones multiculturales privaron en el crecimiento de la frontera agrícola en una de las regiones menos estudiadas del país. La metodología se basa en una revisión documental de diferentes fuentes bibliográficas entre libros, artículos, relatos históricos y legislación. A partir de un análisis geográfico histórico se lograron determinar tres periodos históricos que sintetizan el impacto en el medioambiente de las actividades productivas durante más de siete décadas.Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica2019-06-17info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEvaluado por paresartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/epub+ziphttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/geografica/article/view/1200110.15359/rgac.63-2.8Revista Geográfica de América Central.; Vol. 2 No. 63 (2019): Revista Geográfica de América Central; 215 - 247Revista Geográfica de América Central.; Vol. 2 Núm. 63 (2019): Revista Geográfica de América Central; 215 - 247Revista Geográfica da América Central; v. 2 n. 63 (2019): Revista Geográfica de América Central; 215 - 2472215-25631011-484Xreponame:Portal de Revistas UNAinstname:Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricainstacron:UNAspahttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/geografica/article/view/12001/16641https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/geografica/article/view/12001/16876https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/geografica/article/view/12001/16877Derechos de autor 2019 Adolfo Quesada-Román, Doctorando, Ronald Díaz-Bolaños, Másteracceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-07-29T14:48:10Zoai:ojs.www.una.ac.cr:article/12001Portal de revistashttp://revistas.una.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.una.ac.crhttps://revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaiandrea.mora.campos@una.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2019-07-29T14:48:10Portal de Revistas UNA - Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricafalse
