Perfil productivo del municipio de Silvia en el Cauca para el desarrollo y la competitividad territorial de la Región Pacífico

Abstract

Competitiveness, in a broader term, can be analyzed from two perspectives: first, as a set of factors that determine a level of productivity and, second, as a determinant of the increase in the welfare of the population. In this sense, competitiveness is defined as the administration of own resources and capacities to sustainably increase business productivity and the well-being of the region's population (Benzaquen et al., 2010, p. 75). Given the importance of knowing and diagnosing the territories for effects of the definition of strategies of development and territorial competitiveness of the Pacific Region of Colombia, it is necessary to characterize in terms of the dimensions of development the municipality of Silvia – Cauca, with the purpose of finding potentialities within the municipality and generate synergies with the localities that surround it. The profile aims to show the social, institutional, economic, cultural and environmental aspects in which the municipality of Silvia is in better or worse situation than the Pacific Region and the department of Cauca and with these comparisons help identify the strengths and potentialities of the municipality, for the sake of territorial competitiveness
