Se estudian las relaciones entre ciudad y campo y su impacto en los paisajes en dos localidades periféricas de Xalapa, Veracruz: Chavarrillo y Tlalnelhuayocan. En el siglo XX, los habitantes de localidades rurales, sobre todo de la periferia de ciudades importantes, complementaban los ingresos del campo diversificando sus actividades, fenómeno que se reforzó en los ochenta y noventa con la crisis del sector agropecuario. Se observa que la pluriactividad y las relaciones con la ciudad adoptan formas distintas y las consecuencias en los paisajes varían en relación con las características naturales, socioeconómicas y culturales de cada localidad.
This paper studies the relations between rural and urban areas, and the impact that their evolution has had on landscapes in two localities on the outskirts of Xalapa, capital of the state of Veracruz, Mexico. Throughout the twentieth century, people in rural communities, especially those living on the periphery of major cities, have supplemented their farm incomes by diversifying their activities, a phenomenon reinforced and accentuated during the eighties and nineties with the crisis of the agricultural sector. Our study addresses the relationship between the city of Xalapa and two outlying localities: Chavarrillo and Tlalnelhuayocan. The study shows that the multiple activities and relations that each locality establishes with the city can take different forms, and that the consequences for landscapes vary in relation to the natural, socio-economic and cultural features of each locality.
