MONTOYA-ROJAS, Grace Andrea et al. Integral Management for the Rubber Industry in the Municipality of San José del Guaviare, Colombia. Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.2, pp.277-298. ISSN 0123-3769.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01233769.5854.

The achievements of this research exercise are reflected by a spatial innovation, applied comprehensively to the rubber industry. In such a way, holistic planning is promoted in the municipality of San José del Guaviare, Colombia, where there are settlement activities in the jungle region and also native communities and variety of safeguards. The comprehensive management of the rubber agribusiness, one of the means of subsistence for the inhabitants, is practically absent. The project performed an overall diagnosis of the area, through GIS modeling in order to establish potential areas for the production of rubber tire agribusiness. As illustrated from the integrated management sector, areas are shown which are capable of supporting the project productively and at the same time achieving a harmonious development between the municipal territory and the project.
