Abstract

This research project was primarily focused on generating a map of reforestation sites for the corregimiento of Tortí, located in the district of Chepo in the Province of Panama, through the use of ArcGIS software. Available and existing input data from the corregimiento were used such as soils, relief, and hydrography which were processed and exported in ArcMap.

As a final result of the model, it was determined that most of the corregimiento is experiencing environmental degradation with a strong impact caused by deforestation and the misuse of land, specifically due to primary sector activities. One of the main outcomes of this research project is the creation of a conflict map stratified by three basic criteria and a map of potential reforestation sites, taking into account river sources. Of the total area of the corregimiento (98,766 hectares), currently, 57,299 hectares lack vegetation cover and have overexploited soil.
