摘要：Los problemas del desarrollo, dados los procesos de estancamiento de algunas regiones y las asimetrías existentes dentro de los propios países, han sido un tema de relevancia para hilvanar alternativas para las zonas más rezagadas. El estudio se centra en el caso del cantón de Puriscal, que en su momento se consideró un granero de Costa Rica y luego pasó a ser una de las zonas más degradadas del país. El objetivo es describir cómo ocurrió este proceso y dilucidar posibles alternativas de mejora
其他摘要：Puriscal can be characterized as one of the most degraded zones in the country. However, this perception should be analyzed through a historical perspective because, in the past, this same region was known as the Costa Rican barn due to its high basic grains production and productivity. This paper studies the reasons for this zone’s deterioration and proposes an eco-development strategy as an alternative to solve its problems. The eco-development concept is based on future generation needs and addresses each specific region socioeconomic and environmental realities. From this concrete reality, and its current inhabitants’ concerns, viable alternatives are proposed.
