Análisis de la capacidad de absorción visual de las unidades de paisaje del páramo de la Comunidad Planchaloma, Parroquia Toacazo, propuesta de conservación, 2022.

This research project was developed with the purpose of analyzing the visual absorption capacity of the landscape units of the Planchaloma community, Toacazo parish in the province of Cotopaxi. For the development of the same, it was based on methodologies that focus on landscape valuation such as: the Bureau of Land Management Method (BLM) and the Visual Absorption Capacity Method (CAV), through the application of both, it was possible to establish the current situation in which the study area is, since the comparison is made in tables of qualitative and quantitative weightings established at a general level that evaluate based on physical characteristics, physiography, texture, slope and among others. A conservation proposal was implemented in the community of Planchaloma to mitigate environmental impacts, reduce and remediate natural landscapes, and raise awareness among the population. The results were determined through the application of the BLM method, yielding an average of 18 in general, have an average visual quality, have areas with variety in shape, color, line and texture, are common in the region from 12 to 18. On the other hand, by means of the Yeomans Method, a CAV of 21 was obtained, belonging to a landscape of medium fragility, some components present a certain capacity to adapt to modifications that may be made to it. The results of visual sensitivity of the landscape are located within class 1 and 2, determining a medium CAV and low visual quality whose landscapes are a priority for conservation.
