Abstract

First, the area's most significant environmental threats were identified through questionnaire campaigns run by municipal employees. Hazard maps were created by utilizing a variety of environmental hazards indicators and concentrating on the threats that were primarily perceived by the region's residents, such as deforestation, water pollution and changes in precipitation. After a pair-wise comparison, a GIS environment was used to create an integrated hazard map. The proposed method can be scaled up for integrated environmental hazards analysis in similar regions of Latin America and the maps serve as a first baseline for the analysis of the current state of natural resources in the "Valles Cruceos" area.
