Cartographic experiences in the university villages and UBV the PFG environmental management of the municipality Maracaibo state Zulia

Abstract

In our country, population growth and social needs for urban improvement, housing and services in general, have grown rapidly, which has brought as a consequence modifi cations in geographical spaces. It should be noted that many of the communities where community projects are developed do not have mapping plans or are not updated. In this sense, the community cartographic practices have a vision in accordance with the proposals of the Simón Bolívar National Project (2007- 2013), in relation to the new socio-territorial structure. The purpose of this research was to systematize the cartographic experiences in the university villages of
the municipality of Maracaibo and the Bolivarian University of Venezuela, Zulia. The methodology used in the fi rst stage consisted of a diagnosis to fi nd out which community projects were being developed and whether or not there were updated cartographic plans, in order to then carry out the survey or draw up the community plans. Among the results we have: the cartographic plane of the community Rafael Urdaneta, of the community Cassiano Lossada I and the elaboration of cartographic practices in sixteen (16) villages of the capital axis, where twenty-four (24) projects were found, approaching the methodological aspects and the tools used for the cadastral survey and update, whose activities achieved the updating of planes of seven communities of the Municipality
Maracaibo.
