Preliminary GIS analysis of the agricultural landscape of Cuyo Cuyo, Department of Puno, Peru

Abstract

Computerized analysis of a geographic database (GIS) for Cuyo Cuyo (Dept. Puno, Peru) is used to correlate the agricultural production zones of two adjacent communities to altitude, slope, aspect and other geomorphological features of the high-altitude eastern escarpment landscape. The techniques exemplified will allow ecological anthropologists to analyze spatial patterns at regional scales with much greater control over the data.
