| Popis: | Thematic geoinformation, at a scale of 1: 25,000, related to studies of geopedology, production systems, climate, hydrology, infrastructure and socioeconomic, constitutes a relevant factor in the activities of administration, environmental planning and territorial planning. In Ecuador, the Military Geographical Institute (IGM), was in charge of generating multipurpose, reliable, georeferenced and integrated thematic geoinformation, at a semi-detailed level. This occurred for territorial planning and management, aimed at solving economic and social problems, through an investment project, which began at the level of fourteen cantons of the Guayas river basin (2009–2010). The same was later extrapolated at the national level (2011–2017) and the corresponding geoinformation was delivered to the Decentralized Autonomous Governments (GAD). Since 2012 it began to evaluate the use and level of application of said geospatial information to identify actions to improve the products and services generated within the framework of the project, hereby mainly to the cantons of the Guayas river basin project. The evaluation was performed in fourteen municipalities in the provinces of Guayas and Los Rios, where it was found that 28% always used geoinformation, 38% used it sporadically and 34% did not use it. These results support the politicians and decision makers in the country, in the sense that they must carry out permanent evaluations on the use of geospatial information related to this type of project, otherwise the use of public resources would not be being used with objectivity and efficiency. |
