Territorial distribution of economic assimilation agriculture levels in San Luis Potosí, Mexico

Abstract

The map of levels of economic assimilation of agricultural activity in the state of San Luis Potosí represents a change in the methodological application of this line of research, which has been carried out in Mexico for three decades. For this reason, the main objective of this work is to share the procedures applied for the elaboration of indicators, the adjustments to the probabilistic typification and the conformation of the typological clouds. The maps integrating this document show the internal regional contrasts generated by the social and productive dynamics in the agricultural spaces of the San Luis Potosí territory, which has an extension of 61,134 km2. Although the main limitation for drawing up an assimilation map is the existence of data for the Spatial Reference Units (UER), other than municipalities or states, the main map shows the 25 levels of assimilation identified in greater detail.
