  • Procuencas Project
    Procuencas Project Authors: Alvaro Redondo-Brenes and Kristen Welsh Short title: Procuencas Project, Costa Rica Key Message: Hydrological fee based watershed conservation, forest preservation and reforestation to compensate landowners in Costa Rica. Suggested citation : TEEBcase by Alvaro Redondo-Brenes and Kristen Welsh (2010) Procuencas Project, Costa Rica, available at: TEEBweb.org What is the problem? The Procuencas project was implemented in Heredia province of Costa Rica. The main problems affecting watershed conservation in the region can be listed as deforestation, degradation due to unplanned urban growth, and the negative impacts of livestock in the area (Redondo-Brenes, Welsh, 2006). Which approach was taken? To overcome these problems, ESPH (Public Services Enterprise of Heredia) was created in 1976 as a public institution and was later transformed into a private institution in 1998. The company also provides electricity, sewage services, and public illumination to a total of 188,000 residents located in three municipalities—Heredia, San Rafael, and San Isidro - within the province of Heredia. ESPH obtains its water from five micro-watersheds - Ciruelas, Segundo, Bermúdez, Tibás, and Pará, which are located in northern areas of the Heredia province (Redondo-Brenes & Welsh, 2006). The Procuencas project was started in 2000 as an initiative of the ESPH. Procuencas is a private PES program for watershed conservation, independent of FONAFIFO (Fondo Nacional de Financiamiento Forestal), and it provides higher payments to the beneficiaries in its region than FONAFIFO does in the rest of the country. The landowners receive $540 per hectare for establishing new tree plantations, $210 per hectare for established plantations, $210 per hectare for forest conservation and regeneration, and $0.8 per tree for supporting the establishment of agro-forestry systems over a period of five years (FONAFIFO 2004, cited in Redondo-Brenes and Welsh, 2006).

  • Agua Caliente, Espacialidad Y Arquitectura En Una Comunidad Nucleada Antigua De Costa Rica
    31 Cuadernos de Antropología No.19, 31-55, 2009 AGUA CALIENTE, ESPACIALIDAD Y ARQUITECTURA EN UNA COMUNIDAD NUCLEADA ANTIGUA DE COSTA RICA Jeffrey Peytrequín Gómez* RESUMEN En este artículo se presentan las particularidades de un sitio arqueológi- co ubicado en el Valle Central Oriental de Costa Rica, Agua Caliente de Cartago (C-35AC). Alrededor del 600 d.C., esta comunidad se constituyó en un centro político-ideológico con un ordenamiento espacial que permitió el despliegue de diversas actividades; dichas actividades son el reflejo de relaciones sociales a nivel cacical. En Agua Caliente se erigieron varias es- tructuras habitacionales, así como muros de contención de aguas, calzadas y vastos cementerios. Además, todas estas manifestaciones arquitectónicas comparten un tipo de construcción específico. De tal manera, la cultura material recuperada apunta a Agua Caliente como un espacio significativo dentro de la dinámica cultural de esta región de Costa Rica. Palabras claves: Arquitectura, técnicas constructivas, montículos, calza- das, dique. ABSTRACT This article explores the architectural specificities of Agua Caliente de Car- tago (C-35AC), an archaeological site located in the Costa Rica’s central area. This community, circa 600 A.D., was an ideological-political center with a spatial distribution that permitted diverse activities to take place. These practices reflect rank social relations at a chiefdom level. Several dwelling structures were at Agua Caliente, as were stone wall dams, paved streets and huge cemeteries. These constructions shared particular charac- teristics. The material culture suggests that this site was a significant space in the regional culture. Keywords: Architecture, building techniques, mounds, causeways, dam. * Jeffrey Peytrequín Gómez.

  • Costa Rica and the Río Pacuare During Times of Free Trade and Regional Integration
    University of Nevada, Reno Hydropower Capital: Costa Rica and the Río Pacuare During Times of Free Trade and Regional Integration A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geography By Denielle M. Perry Dr. Kate Berry/Thesis Advisor May, 2010 Copyright by Denielle M. Perry 2010 All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by DENIELLE M. PERRY entitled Hydropower Capital: Costa Rica and the Río Pacuare during Times of Free Trade and Regional Integration be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Dr. Kate Berry, Advisor Dr. Victoria Randlett, Committee Member Dr. Louis Forline, Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Associate Dean, Graduate School May, 2010 i Abstract In response to neoliberal economic pressures since the late 1980s, protectionist policies of Central American countries have been reworked into an agenda that promotes free trade and regional integration. The Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) and the Plan Puebla-Panama (PPP) are complimentary trade and infrastructure integration initiatives that exemplify this neoliberal shift. Hemispheric concerns over climate change and energy security have translated into increased demand for “renewable” resources, moving the construction of new hydropower facilities to the forefront of planning for a regionally-integrated electricity system. In Costa Rica hydrological resources are considered to be the country’s greatest natural resource. The country’s “hydropower capital” has been regulated by the state for over half a century; however, new legislature is increasingly liberalizing private entry into the sector.

  • Territorial and Electorate Size Influence: Participation/ Competitiveness in Costa Rica’S 2016 Local Scale Elections
    10.15446/rcdg.v30n1.79637 adernos de Geografía: Revista Colombiana de Geografía Territorial and Electorate Size Influence: Participation/ Competitiveness in Costa Rica’s 2016 Local Scale Elections * Daniel A. de Azevedo 1 + Bruno Lessa Meireles 2 Abstract In recent years, political geography has begun to revisit traditional geographical theories using quantitative methodologies. Size, location, density, position, and other important geographic characteristics have re- emerged as central data points in the analysis of political phenomena. In this article, we analyze possible relationships between size (territorial and electoral) and electoral outcomes (competitiveness and participation) in Costa Rica’s 2016 local (canton) elections. In this effort, we seek to revisit a tradition abandoned by some currents of geography, often erroneously associated with geographic determinism and widely criticized by geography researchers since the 1960s. Costa Rica was chosen for the study because it is considered one of the most successful democratic systems in Latin America, and it is now facing important issues about its new decentralization process. Linear Ordinary Least Squares (ols) regressions were used to analyze the 2016 elections in 82 Costa Rican cantones. This article reveals that there are important causal relationships between territorial size and electoral participation/competitiveness in Costa Rica. Conclusion Geographical analyses are crucial to understand voter turnout and competitiveness. Our conclusion could help Costa Ricans create new strategies to further develop their democracy and its decentralization process. Keywords: Costa Rica, electorate size, electoral geography, quantitative methodology, territorial size. Highlights: research article about electoral turnout and competitiveness in Costa Rica and its possible relationship with territorial and electoral sizes.
