Local development is aimed at achieving sustainability and energy independence with the use of indigenous resources, in this environment technologies that take advantage of wind energy are one of the most propitious in low wind speed. Since very remote times have been solving different problems in the isolated and rural areas, in the province of Manabí there are no high wind speeds these are maintained between 2.5 and 3.5 m / s. In the research carried out, it was possible to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing small wind turbines in most of the territory of the Chone canton of the province of Manabí, visualizing that the implementation of small-scale technology can provide adequate solutions to the use of the resource since there is potentiality Energy to introduce the technology with the use of micro-wind turbines that its starting speed is in the range of 1-3 m / s, knowing that these only require small technical maintenance, besides being viable technologies to support the change of Energy matrix, generation of jobs and promises to achieve energy independence in isolated rural areas, improving the living conditions of the population and enhancing social development.

Colombian foreign policy towards the Pacific Basin has focused on the participation in the regional economic cooperation system. From the late 1980s until today, there have been different results that have influenced the country's international insertion strategies. Specifically, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) constitutes one of the main scenarios for economic and political dialogue with East Asian and Oceania countries. In the construction process of this public policy, state and non-state actors have accumulated to carry out the proposed guidelines for this region. It is fundamental to articulate a systematic international insertion agenda that allows weighing all the challenges that TPP offers in a region with high political and economic interdependence within the international system of the early twenty-first century.

First, of all, I would like to thank God Almighty for His grace in giving me the opportunity to stay here in Redlands with peace of mind, contentment and good health. He has given me the patience and strength to face all my challenges and the wisdom to understand my errors and avoid repeating them. I would like to thank professor Fang Ren for her contribution to the realization of this project and her encouragement when facing the different challenges that being a foreigner means in this great country. My sincere gratitude to the MS GIS program faculty, their support, and commitment to the quality of our education was a source of encouragement during this year. I would also like to thank Jack Dangermond, the President of ESRI, and the University of Redlands MS GIS Program for funding my studies through the Jack Dangermond fellowship program. I am in debt to you all, and I hope I can contribute to the society as a means to repay your support of me.
