Transformations in the Eco region of Sogamoso (Colombia) were diagnosed as a result of the municipal development policies focused on the urban and industrial development. These changes have manifested themselves in the diminishment of the native forest coverage and the presence of strategic ecosystems and environmental service providers to the Eco region which consists of Nobsa, Mongui, Iza, Firavitoba, Aquitania, Cuitiva and Sogamoso. The diagnosis showed that this town is far from being an integrator agent, and that its relations with the rural areas are merely central-urban ones.
