Track: Environmental Management
Authors: Andres Carvajal Diaz, Maria Luisa Eslava Rodriguez

Based on the information from the databases of environmental risk information for thematic abiotic (rainfall, flooding, geotechnical, etc.), biotic (ecosystem conservation areas) and social (indigenous reserves and archaeological finds), processed in GIS, for a route of about 800 km between Ibague and Mocoa (Colombia), we performed a statistical analysis-graph with the help of GIS, whose interpretation is intuitive, fast display and easy to understand for any organizational level. This methodology is presented as a flexible tool for decision-making in environmental studies of roads and other linear projects such as pipelines, railways, etc.
