MITIGATION OF HIGH THERMAL SENSATIONS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF BOSCONIA-CESAR THROUGH FORESTATION WITH NATIVE SPECIES

Abstract

High temperatures or thermal sensation conditions reveal instability in the Bosconense community due to the presence of high levels in the urban area due to vehicular pollution, bad environmental practices and disadvantageous topography, reaching levels of “thermal stress”. Multitemporal analysis of: relative humidity, temperature, wind speed, hot spots and thermal sensation was carried out for the years 2000, 2010, 2015 and 2020. Also, a characterization of the soil based on bibliographies and local environmentalists, finding 20,694 ha's deforested between 2000 -2020 throughout Bosconia. Afforestation methodology with native species (Cañaguate, Mango, Puy and Roble) and monitoring methodology on the variables relative humidity, solar radiation, temperature and wind speed were presented to evaluate efficacy. Adding solar radiation monitoring for future local research. Subsequently, afforestation and socialization with public and private actors and the surrounding population about the benefits and care that should be taken was implemented, establishing the periods and instruments to evaluate mitigation.
