RAMON GONZALEZ, José Augusto  y  AGUILAR, Adrián Guillermo. Irregular Urban Expansion, Change in Land Use and Environmental Deterioration in the Northern Periphery of the Puebla-Tlaxcala Metropolitan Zone: The Case of La Malinche National Park. Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.2, pp.441-458.  Epub 27-Ago-2021. ISSN 0121-215X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcdg.v30n2.89849.

The peri-urbanization process in the Puebla Metropolitan Area-Tlaxcala, in Mexico, has included to a large extent, an irregular occupation of the land closely related to the environmental deterioration of an area of high ecological value. This article presents a study of the processes of population growth and urban expansion that have impacted on changes in land use in the northern periphery of the ZMPT (by its acronym in Spanish), and as part of it, in La Malinche National Park. An analysis of the evolution of demographic behavior and urban expansion in the area was carried out, as well as the transformation of land uses by means of satellite images from different dates. The work allowed us to have the necessary social and economic panorama to quantify and establish the effects on changes in land use at the regional level and their consequences, obtaining said evaluative argument. It was possible to characterize the expansive urban process and verify that it has been the main cause of the acceleration of the phenomenon that has affected the conservation of the environment and the quality of life of the population.

Highlights: research article on the relationship between urban expansion and environmental deterioration, which describes a case of the impact of irregular human settlements, manifested in changes in land use; from forest, to cultivation and later to urban, affecting its degradation and contamination rate.

Palabras clave : human settlements; contamination; environmental deterioration; land; urbanization.
