AGUIRRE, Marco Antonio et al. Perception of landscape, water and ecosystems in the watershed of the Dagua river, Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.1, pp.109-126. ISSN 0123-3769.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01233769.5402.

Landscape is situated in the plane of contact between the natural and human habitats, in addition, it is an ecological, psychological and social product. Studying them allows to incorporate the holistic, dialectical and systemic vision, which is a characteristic of geography, and becomes a way for the formulation of environmental instruments and policies in the management and planning of watersheds. In this perspective, the methodology to identify units of anthropogenic landscapes is presented, as well as the perception that the social agents have against them, considering water and ecosystems in the watershed of the Dagua river, located to the west of the department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. For this, qualitative and quantitative research methods were used. The results show the conditions of landscapes, water and ecosystems, which becomes a contribution for future planning processes in the watershed.
