A., May 2004 Geography Cadastral Management and Maintenance in Costa Rica Using the Geodatabase Model Committee Chair: Paul B. Wilson The Costa Rican cadastre is in the process of becoming a digital land information system (LIS). This is being accomplished by means of converting the cadastral datasets (both geographic and alphanumeric) into digital formats for its use with geographic information systems (GIS). The geodatabase model developed by ESRI® for use with their ArcGIS™ 8.3 software, can be used for cadastral purposes in Costa Rica if a suitable database schema is designed. Feature datasets, feature classes, object classes, relationship classes, attribute domains, and topology rules can be created to aid in the storage, management, and maintenance of cadastral datasets, both spatial and alphanumeric in kind. The main goals of this work were the creation of a geodatabase schema and a cadastral maintenance model, suitable for the cadastral datasets and information needs of Costa Rican municipalities. In order to develop a suitable cadastral geodatabase schema for Costa Rican municipalities, several elements affecting the cadastre and the cadastral system need to be considered and studied. Modem concepts of multipurpose cadastre (like the “Cadastre 2014” work by the International Federation of Surveyors), specific cadastral information needs in the Costa Rican setting, modem GIS and database technologies, and geodatabase schema templates (like the ArcGIS™ Land Parcel Data Model by ESRI® and Fairview Industries) among others, are important factors in the development of a geodatabase schema. A total of five feature datasets, fifteen feature classes, eight object classes, twelve relationship classes, twenty-one attribute domains, and seven topology rules were created within the geodatabase schema designed in this work. The schema developed is suitable to aid the Costa Rican municipalities in the fulfillment of their cadastral information needs, and in the accomplishment of their functions as local governments.

Information about the legal owners, possessors, usufructuaries, or awardees is also stored. Other interests on land such as encumbrances or restrictions are also recorded in order to have a complete legal description of the land. Usually, the purpose of the data is to accurately describe the land and its value for taxing purposes. However, it may be used for many different governmental applications such as planning and resource management. Cadastral data is usually of two types: the graphic representation of the land objects, and the attribute data describing them. This collection of data is usually referred to as Cadastre.1 The graphic representations may be in the form of paper or digital maps, and are commonly referred to as geographic or spatial data.2 The cadastre is “a methodologically arranged public inventory of data concerning properties within a certain country or district, based on a survey of their boundaries.”3 Modern cadastral systems all over the world are maintained using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). A GIS is a stand alone computer program or a cohort of programs that are used to manipulate attribute and geographic datasets.4 1 The terms “cadastre” and “cadastral datasets” are used interchangeably throughout this work. 2 The words “geographic” and “spatial” are used interchangeably throughout this work. 3 Jo Henssen.

  • Evidence from the United Fruit Company in Costa Rica
    Multinationals and Development: Evidence from the United Fruit Company in Costa Rica Esteban M´endez-Chac´on∗ Diana Van Patteny Cornell University UCLA Preliminary draft. Please do not cite or distribute. Abstract We analyze the impact of large-scale FDI on economic development by considering an agricultural multinational with well-defined boundaries: the enclave of the United Fruit Company (UFCo) in Costa Rica from 1889 to 1984. We implement a geographic regression discontinuity design that exploits a quasi-random assignment of land, and the availability of restricted microdata georeferenced at the census block level for 1973, 1984, 2000 and 2011. The range covered by the censuses allow us to identify the company's effect during its tenure, and assess its short- and long-run impacts after it stopped production. We find a positive, large and persistent effect on key outcomes in areas where the company operated. Households located in former UFCo lands are less likely of being poor and have a better satisfaction of basic needs (housing, sanitation, education, and consumption capacity). Moreover, we validate our finding using nighttime lights data and conclude that the former UFCo areas are relatively brighter, suggesting a higher level of income and economic activity. We propose that the mechanisms behind our results are investments in physical and human capital carried out by the UFCo, such as sanitary and health programs, housing for its employees, and vocational training. ∗[email protected] [email protected] \It happened once that someone at the table complained about the ruin into which the town had sunk when the banana company had abandoned it, and Aureliano contradicted him with maturity and with the vision of a grown person.

Accepted 04-X-2009. Abstract: The human population structure of the Central Provinces of Costa Rica was analyzed through iso- nymic methods and the use of Electoral Registers (1990 and 2006). Four parameters that define, in a genetic and evolutionary context, this structure were estimated: the consanguinity due to random mating (Morton’s a-priori kinship Fii), the genetic isolation (Fisher’s α), the migration (Karlin-McGregor’s υ), and the degree of subdivi- sion or population differentiation (Fst). The possible geographical distribution of these variables is shown by the use of a Principal Components Analysis (PCA).

  • 1 Patterns of Wage Inequality in Costa Rica During the Structural Change
    Patterns of Wage Inequality in Costa Rica during the Structural Change, 1976-2004 By Juan Carlos Obando [email protected] The University of Texas Inequality Project Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs The University of Texas at Austin Austin, Texas 78713 UTIP Working Paper No. 36 March 3, 2006 Abstract This paper presents new measures of inequality for Costa Rica for each year from 1976 to 2004, using data on payroll and number of salaried workers by sector and province, provided by the insurance records of the country’s social security offices. Overall, after a long period of decreasing inequality from 1976 to 1985, wage inequality in Costa Rica has been more volatile during the last two decades. The behavior of inequality and real wages during the period 1976-1985 reflects the wage policies of the time before the application of the free market model. Reforms in the financial and health sector seem to be among the important factors influencing wage inequality since that time. Unionization in activities controlled by the state, and electoral cycles are also apparently important. Finally, the successful attraction of high technology firms to Costa Rica has been a key factor accounting for increasing average wages in manufacturing industries in the last decade. 1 Introduction The main goal of this paper is to identify labor market characteristics, patterns of wage inequality, and the forces accounting for those patterns in Costa Rica during the last three decades. This period is particularly interesting because it is characterized by the implementation of what is perhaps the most comprehensive set of economic reforms implemented in this nation in the last century, reforms known as the structural change.

    The MFEWS Central America Weather Hazards and Benefits Assessment For November 27 – December 3, 2008 1) In the last two weeks, heavy rainfall in Costa Rica and Panama has resulted in flooding and rising river levels for local areas in the Limon province and Bocas del Toro region of Panama. The development of a tropical low in the southern Caribbean is expected to produce significant rainfall across the Atlantic regions of Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama over the next seven days. Hazards Assessment Text Explanation: Over the last seven days, little to no rainfall was observed across Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador with increased precipitation in excess of 50 mm observed, across local areas in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. The persistent decrease in weekly rainfall over Guatemala and Honduras continues to provide much needed relief to the flood-affected regions of Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica, however anomalously wet conditions in the southern Caribbean have resulted in localized flooding and rising river levels Costa Rica and Panama. Government authorities in Costa Rica have issued an alert for municipalities in Limon province, as roads have been closed and hundreds of residents have been displaced from their homes. Presently, increasing water levels in the Barbilla, Reventazón (Siquirres), Chirripó (Matina) and Parismina Rivers in Costa Rica and Panama continue to be heavily monitored. For the November 27 – December 3 observation period, precipitation models indicate the persistence of a tropical low located in the southern Caribbean. Because this tropical low is forecast to remain quasi-stationary over the next 3-5 days, excessive rainfall totals (> 150 mm) are expected to negatively impact many local areas in the Bocas del Toro, Chiriqui provinces in Panama, the Limon, Puntarenas, Heredia, Alajuela and Cartago provinces of Costa Rica, and Atlantic departments of Nicaragua.

  • The Nicoya Region of Costa Rica: a High Longevity Island for Elderly Males
    Vienna Yearbook of Population Research 2013 (Vol. 11), pp. 109–136 The Nicoya region of Costa Rica: a high longevity island for elderly males Luis Rosero-Bixby, William H. Dow and David H. Rehkopf∗ Abstract Reliable data show that the Nicoyan region of Costa Rica is a hot spot of high longevity. A survival follow-up of 16,300 elderly Costa Ricans estimated a Nicoya death rate ratio (DRR) for males 1990–2011 of 0.80 (0.69–0.93 CI). For a 60-year- old Nicoyan male, the probability of becoming centenarian is seven times that of a Japanese male, and his life expectancy is 2.2 years greater. This Nicoya advantage does not occur in females, is independent of socio-economic conditions, disappears in out-migrants and comes from lower cardiovascular (CV) mortality (DRR = 0.65). Nicoyans have lower levels of biomarkers of CV risk; they are also leaner, taller and suffer fewer disabilities. Two markers of ageing and stress—telomere length and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate—are also more favourable. The Nicoya diet is prosaic and abundant in traditional foods like rice, beans and animal protein, with low glycemic index and high fibre content. 1 Introduction A book published by the National Geographic Society identified the region of Nicoya in Costa Rica as one of a very small number of locations in the world with exceptional longevity—regions that were referred to as blue zones (Buettner 2010). Other locations noted as having high longevity were the islands of Sardinia in Italy and Okinawa in Japan. Although the selection of Nicoya was mostly based on unpublished evidence, more than a century earlier a Swiss geographer and botanist had observed: “in no other place people are blessed with such long lives” (Pittier 1904).
