| Sumario: | The work herein describes the selection process of areas aimed to study several features of the heterogeneous
distributed population settled in the Iberá Natural Reserve (INR) in the Province of Corrientes, Argentina. The process was
based on the information given by the last National Census of Population, Homes and Housing, considering the province
departments, and their census territory subdivisions called fractions, radiuses and segments. The selection was performed
by the method of Sampling by Area. The reserve area was geographically defined in the cartography regarding the
boundaries established by law. The INR territory was stratified in urban area and rural area, identifying population
settlements that varied in concentration. Within each of these areas the census territory subdivisions were delimited, which
enabled to perform a second stratification with independent selection parameters according to the Housing Number per
Census Segment. This allowed the selection at random of the segments to be studied within the urban and the rural areas,
respectively. The INR was composed of 213 census segments, for the rural area 47 segments and for the urban area 15
segments were included. In order to tackle the human dimension the selection of the segments was essential to allow the
approach to the inhabitants of the INR. The relevance of the census based selection process is that constitutes a model that
transferred to other regions with heterogeneous population distribution enables comprehensive studies to promote the
wellbeing of the population. |
