Abstract

The expansion of the area covered by protected areas must be linked to a better ordering of the territories and the functions they fulfill, within the general spatial matrix, to ensure the protection of biodiversity and guarantee the flow of environmental services expected from the model in progress. The 49 units of the Argentina system of national protected areas of -as part and reference of the total protected areas of the country- were delimited according to frequently irregular polygons, whose shape affects governance and impacts on the territory. The objective of this work is to morphometrically analyze the system through multiple indices, as an advance for a more complex evaluation of the insertion of protected spaces within their socio-ecosystems. Polygons in general are far from ideal, especially in areas designed and created in recent decades. This study is descriptive, but it offers data and makes it easy to interpret, along with other variables, the insertion, operation, exchange flows and efficiency of protected areas.
