| description | Thirty years have passed since the only economic census in Colombia. Therefore, it is necessary to have a statistical framework that guarantees the inclusion of the economic units of the country to develop a new census. Considering that the rural areas have specific characteristics regarding localization and proximity of the economic activity, which can affect the costs and time of the census, a methodology with an exploratory and descriptive scope was proposed. It is supported by the use of diverse sources and the application of spatial analysis techniques based onthe localization, proximity, and concentration of the economic units with the aim of determining the rural economic concentration areas (RECAs). As a result, 5,537 RECAs were identified, and they are located in 80% of the second-level territorial divisions, with a central tendency in their median of five establishments and a surface area of 15.6 hectares. Although there are no similarreferences of this type, the determination of these areas was based on obtaining thematic and geographic consistency from the sources used and the configuration of spatial concentrations.However, being an exploratory method, it is open to continuous improvement and feedback, seeking to be a reference in the conformation of statistical frameworks. |

Treinta años han pasado desde la realización del único censo económico en Colombia, y para el desarrollo de un nuevo operativo censal, se hace necesario contar con un marco estadístico que garantice el cubrimiento de las unidades económicas del país. Teniendo en cuenta que las zonas rurales presentan características particulares respecto a la localización y proximidad de la actividad económica, lo que puede impactar los costos y tiempos del operativo censal, se planteó una metodología de alcance exploratorio y descriptivo, soportada por el uso de fuentes diversas, y la aplicación de técnicas de análisis espacial, con el fin de determinar las Áreas de Concentración Económica Rural (ACER), fundamentadas en la localización, proximidad y aglomeración de las unidades económicas. De esta manera, se logró la estructuración de 5.537 ACER ubicadas en el 80% de las divisiones de segundo nivel territorial, con tendencia central en su mediana de cinco establecimientos y una superficie de 15,6 hectáreas. Aunque no se tienen referentes similares de este tipo, la determinación de estas áreas se basó en obtener consistencia temática y geográfica, a partir de las fuentes empleadas, y la configuración de aglomeraciones espaciales. Ahora bien, al ser un método de alcance exploratorio, está abierto a mejoras y retroalimentación continua, buscando ser un referente en la conformación de marcos estadísticos. Trinta anos já passaram desde a realização do único censo econômico na Colômbia. Para o desenvovimento de um novo operativo censitário, é preciso contar com um marco estatístico que garanta o cobrimento das unidades econômicas do país. Cogitando que as zonas rurais apresentam características particulares com respeito à localização e a proximidade da atividade econômica, o que poderia ter impacto sobre os custos e tempos do operativo censitário, propôs-se uma metodologia de alcance exploratório e descritivo, baseada no uso de diversas fontes de informação e a aplicação de técnicas de análise espacial, com o objetivo de determinar as Áreas de Concentração Econômica Rural (ACER), fundamentadas na localização, proximidade e aglomeração das unidades econômicas. Desta maneira, conseguiu-se a estructuração de 5.537 ACER ubicadas no 80% das divisões de segundo nível territorial, com tendência central na sua mediana de cinco estabelecimentos e uma superfície de 15,6 hectares. Embora não se tenham referenciais similares, a determinação destas áreas foi baseada em obter consistência temática e geográfica, partindo das fontes usadas, e a configuração de aglomerações espaciais. Não obstante, sendo um método de alcance exploratório, ele fica aberto a melhoras e retroalimentação contínua, buscando ser um referente na conformação de marcos estatísticos.
