Cambio de uso del suelo por la obra pública: Avenida Presidente Perón, en Tucumán

Abstract

La avenida Presidente Perón es una de las obras de infraestructura con gran impacto en el desarrollo metropolitano de Tucumán en los últimos 20 años. Es considerada una vía de acceso troncal hacia la ciudad de Yerba Buena que permitió la expansión noroeste del AMET, modificando un suelo agrícola por urbano residencial de alto nivel social. Actualmente se han localizado actividades complementarias al uso residencial y otras compatibles como el campus del Colegio Santa Rosa, el centro comercial Open Plaza, la universidad privada del Norte Santo Tomás de Aquino, complejos de oficinas, entre otros. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo describir las transformaciones producidas en el sector de análisis evidenciando cómo el sector privado representado por grandes promotores inmobiliarios, se beneficia con la obra pública generando, como denomina Cuenya, un entorno urbano exclusivo, sin precedente en el AMET de Tucumán. Dichos cambios se verifican y cuantifican a partir del análisis sincrónico. Para ello, se trabaja mediante tres cortes espacio temporales: antes de la construcción de la avenida (principios década de los ‘90), durante las primeras intervenciones en el sector (década del 2000) y la situación actual sobre imágenes satelitales tipo Landsat y Digital Globe, procesadas en una plataforma SIG.

Presidente Perón Avenue is one of the infrastructure works that produces an impact on the metropolitan development of Tucumán over the last 20 years. It is considered a main access road to the city of Yerba Buena that allowed the northwest expansion of the city by modifying an agricultural land by a high status urban residential. Nowadays, complementary activities to residential use have been located and others compatible, such as the Santa Rosa campus college, the Open Plaza shopping center, the private university of Santo Tomás de Aquino, office complexes, among others. The present paper describes the change of land use on this access road, determining how the private sector represented by real estate developers benefits from public works, generating, as Cuenya calls it, an exclusive urban setting, unprecedented in the AMET of Tucumán. These changes are verified and quantified from a synchronous analysis. For this, we use three temporal space cuts: before the construction of the avenue (early 1990s), during the first interventions in the area (decade of 2000) and the current situation, using satellite images type Landsat and Digital Globe, processed on a GIS platform.Nowadays, complementary activities to residential use have been located and others compatible, such as the Santa Rosa campus college, the Open Plaza shopping center, the private university of Santo Tomás de Aquino, office complexes, among others.
