Mobility strategies in Latin American operational landscapes as a risk factor in times of covid-19

| description | We built an explanatory hypothesis for an especially intense and early covid-19 diffusion pattern detected in Latin American regions where extractive activities of commodities for consumption in global markets predominate —even in comparison with nearby metropolitan regions—. To this end, we propose to consider them as fundamental operational landscapes in global urbanization processes; accordingly, the analysis in terms of mobility strategies found in these territories made it possible to identify specific factors determining the high rates of infection and circulation of the virus. To ensure the reliability and availability of data and to deepen the analysis and discussion of results, the agricultural production region of Córdoba (Argentina) was chosen as a case study. We processed socioeconomic and production statistics and rebuilt the dissemination of covid-19 with data disaggregated by locality between March 2020 and January 2021. The contrast of this information allowed us to affirm that the daily patterns of its inhabitants are the product of the unresolved dichotomy between logics derived from a historical development as rural communities and new logics determined by their articulation in global networks with high mobility of goods and people; this tends to amplify risk factors, even in comparison with metropolitan regions considered to have a higher health risk. In this way, the restructuring of these territories as an operational landscape could explain the pattern of spread of the virus and indicate its development trends in the medium term, becoming a strategic contribution to containment and sanitary remediation interventions and regional development policies. |

Se construyó una hipótesis explicativa para un patrón de difusión de covid-19 especialmente intenso y temprano detectado en regiones latinoamericanas donde predominan actividades extractivas de materias primas para consumo en mercados globales —incluso en comparación con regiones metropolitanas cercanas—. Para ello, se propone considerarlas como paisajes operativos fundamentales en procesos de urbanización global; en función de ello, el análisis en función de las estrategias de movilidad relevadas en esos territorios permitió identificar factores específicos determinantes de las altas tasas de contagio y circulación del virus. Para asegurar la fiabilidad y la disponibilidad de datos y profundizar en el análisis y la discusión de resultados, se determinó como caso de estudio la región agroproductiva de Córdoba (Argentina). Se procesaron estadísticas socioeconómicas y productivas y se reconstruyó la difusión de covid-19 con datos desagregados por localidad entre marzo de 2020 y enero de 2021. La contrastación de esta información permitió afirmar que las pautas cotidianas de sus habitantes son producto de la dicotomía no resuelta entre lógicas devenidas de un desarrollo histórico como comunidades rurales y nuevas lógicas determinadas por su articulación en redes globales con alta movilidad de mercancías y personas; esto tiende a amplificar los factores de riesgo, incluso en comparación con regiones metropolitanas consideradas de mayor riesgo sanitario. De esta forma, la restructuración de estos territorios como paisaje operativo podría explicar el patrón de difusión del virus e inferir sus tendencias de desarrollo a mediano plazo, convirtiéndose en un aporte estratégico para intervenciones de contención y remediación sanitaria y políticas de desarrollo regional. Foi construído um cenário explicativo para um padrão de disseminação de Covid-19 especialmente intenso e precoce detectado em regiões latino-americanas onde predominam atividades extrativas de matérias-primas para consumo em mercados globais, —inclusive em comparação com regiões metropolitanas próximas—. Para tal, propõe-se considerá-las como paisagens operacionais fundamentais em processos de urbanização global; em função disso, a análise em função das estratégias de mobilidade desenvolvidas nesses territórios permitiu identificar fatores específicos determinantes das elevadas taxas de contágio e de circulação do vírus. Para assegurar a fiabilidade e a disponibilidade de dados e aprofundar na análise e a discussão de resultados, determinou-se como caso de estudo a região agroprodutiva de Córdoba (Argentina). Foram processadas estatísticas socioeconómicas e produtivas e foi reconstruída a difusão de Covid-19 com dados desagregados por localidade entre março de 2020 e janeiro de 2021. A comprovação desta informação permitiu afirmar que as pautas cotidianas de seus habitantes são produto da dicotomia não resolvida entre lógicas advindas de um desenvolvimento histórico como comunidades rurais e novas lógicas determinadas por sua articulação em redes globais com elevada mobilidade de mercadorias e pessoas; isto tende a ampliar os fatores de risco, mesmo em comparação com as regiões metropolitanas consideradas de maior risco sanitário. Desta forma, a restruturação destes territórios como paisagem operacional poderia explicar o padrão de difusão do vírus e inferir as suas tendências de desenvolvimento a médio prazo, tornando-se em uma contribuição estratégica para intervenções de contenção e remediação sanitária e políticas de desenvolvimento regional.
