Análisis de intereses ambientales mediante lógica difusa en la reserva forestal regional del norte de Bogotá Colombia

In Bogota, capital of Colombia, due to its urban expansion, which does not consider the natural conditions, a regional forest reserve in the northern area of the city, limiting with other municipalities that are gradually responding to the high demand for housing, was declared. The existence of this forest reserve in the midst of pressure of housing development has created a conaflict of interest for over a decade. The conflict deepens since, on one hand, the information about the real interests of the different groups is imprecise and volatile and on the other one, actions on the use, management and land use must be defined and carried out by the responsible authorities. In order to provide data to monitor this situation, a research project was carried out, resulting in the implementation of an alternative methodology to establish the environmental concerns with respect to the reserve. Fuzzy logic is the method best suited to the analysis of environmental concerns, insofar as it allows flexibility in the measurements of responses and expands the horizon of the socio-environmental action, taking into account various working groups, in order to develop a more successful environmental management plan in areas of high complexity.
