Análisis funcional de Consolación del Sur y Sandino como centros intermedios del sistema de asentamientos humanos de Pinar del Río, Cuba

Abstract

There is a great variety of factors that affect the configuration of the territories. The human settlements system, the economic structure, its history, connectivity, infrastructure and services are some of the most important. In this work, an examination of several of these factors is made in the province in order to determine the functionality of these cities as intermediate centers of the human settlements system.
Based on the results of this research, changes can be made to the schemes and ordering plans of these settlements, the territorial subsystems that make up and the province. Finally, a group of actions or policies to be carried out in each of these settlements are proposed to improve their functionality and try to eliminate the dependency that most of the towns in the provincial capital have, an aspect that establishes a monocentric character in terms of socioeconomic and administrative issues in that territory.
