Merida, rasmiy ravishda tanilgan Santiago de los Caballeros de Merida, ning poytaxti munitsipalitet ning Libertador va holati Merida, va shaharlarning asosiy shaharlaridan biridir Venesuela And tog'lari. Uning tarkibiga 1558 yilda kapitan Xuan Rodriges Suarez tomonidan tashkil etilgan Nueva Granada, ammo keyinchalik Venesuela general kapitanligi va faol rol o'ynadi Mustaqillik urushi.

Poytaxt aholisi 204 879 kishini tashkil qiladi va Libertador munitsipalitetini o'z ichiga olgan metropoliten 345 489 kishiga etadi (Aholini ro'yxatga olish 2001). Shahar 750 mingdan ziyod aholisi bo'lgan Merida shtati aholisining 28 foizini tashkil qiladi (Aholini ro'yxatga olish 2001). Bu uy Los-Andes universiteti va Merida arxiyepiskopligi. Bundan tashqari, u eng yuqori va eng uzunga ega kabel Avtomobil dunyoda. Bu g'arbiy Venesuela talabalar va sayyohlik markazidir. Ommaviy tranzit tizimi (Trolebus Merida ) turistik transport vositasi sifatida mavjud.

Ushbu shahar vodiysida joylashgan platoda joylashgan Chama daryosi, u oxiridan oxirigacha ishlaydi. Merida shahri an-da joylashgan balandlik 1600 metrdan (5200 fut). Ufqda fon sifatida mamlakatning eng yuqori cho'qqisi ko'tariladi: the Piko Bolivar balandligi 4.981 metr (16.342 fut) bilan.

Tarix

Merida shahri 1899 yilda.

Merida Xuan Rodriges Suares tomonidan 1558 yil 9-oktyabrda birida tashkil etilgan Pamplonian u boshqargan konchilik ekspeditsiyalari. Meridaning birinchi aholi punkti hozirgi emas, balki janubda 30 km (19 milya) janubda, bugungi kunda Lagunillas joylashgan Xamuda joylashgan. Shunga qaramay, 1559 yil noyabrda, Xuan de Maldonado mahalliy qo'shnilar bilan doimiy qarama-qarshiliklar tufayli aholi punktini yaqin atrofdagi El-Punto (hozirgi Zumba hududi) ga ko'chirdi.^[1]

Rodriges Suaresning vaqfiga vakolat berilmagan Yangi Granadiyalik Rasmiylar, shuning uchun 1560 yilda ular Xuan de Maldonadoni Xuan Rodrigesni hibsga olish va yangi shaharni tartibga solish uchun yuborishdi. 24-iyun kuni Maldonado Meridani platoda joylashgan joyiga ko'chirdi va uni Santiago de los Caballeros nomi bilan qayta tikladi. Shahar keyinchalik tomonidan boshqarila boshlandi korregimiento ning Tunja 1607 yilgacha, u o'zini a korregimiento ning Audiencia ning Santa Fe.^[1]

1622 yilda Merida poytaxtga aylandi Gubernatorlik Merida, uning bosh rasmiysi u erda o'z qarorgohini o'rnatgan. Shahar va hudud bir qismi bo'lgan Yangi Granada 1777 yilgacha, u integratsiya qilinganida Venesuela kapitani.

Shahar an maqomiga ko'tarildi episkopal qarang 1785 yilda bu a yaratilishiga olib keldi seminariya, bu 1811 yilda And tog 'universiteti.

Etimologiya

Merida, tog'li va talabalar shaharchasi - Venesuela

The Merida teleferik dunyodagi eng baland va eng katta teleferik hisoblanadi

Shahar asoschisi Xuan Rodriges Suares nomi bilan atalgan, u tug'ilgan shahri sharafiga shunday nom olgan Merida yilda Ekstremadura, Ispaniya.

Biroq, Xuan de Maldonado uni San-Xuan de las Nieves deb o'zgartirdi. 1559 yilda bu nom yana o'zgarib, bu safar Santyago de los Caballeros uchun tanlandi. Asta-sekin, u Santyago de los Caballeros de Mérida nomini qabul qilib, shu paytgacha shaharga tayinlangan variantlarni birlashtirgan.

Merida so'zi Lotin "emérita", dan Qochish, xizmatiga ega bo'lgan kishi, bu shuningdek, majburiy xizmat majburiyatini bajargandan so'ng armiyadan bo'shatilgan veteran Rim askarlari haqida. Ispaniyaliklar va Venesuela Meridalari uchun umumiy bo'lgan yana bir xususiyat shundan iboratki, ikkala shaharda ham Albarregas nomi bilan asosiy daryoning irmog'i mavjud.

Geografiya

Merida vodiyda joylashgan bo'lib, unga qo'shni ko'plab mustamlaka shaharlari joylashgan

Shahar Venesuela markazida joylashgan And vodiysidagi keng tekislikda Chama daryosi, o'rtasida Merada-Syerra janubi-sharqda va shimoli-g'arbda Syerra-La-Kulata. Shaharning eski kvartalida joylashgan allyuvial tekislik sifatida tanilgan Tatuy.

Meridaning shaharning kamroq shaharlashgan qismlarida to'rtta asosiy daryolari va ba'zi bir kichik mavsumiy oqimlari bor, oxirgi suvlar faqat yog'ingarchilik paytida sezilarli darajada suv oqimiga ega. Eng muhim daryo - Chama, so'ngra Albarregas, ular tekislikni kesib o'tib, uni ikki qismga bo'lishadi: Banda Occidental (g'arbiy sohil) va Banda Oriental (sharqiy bank). Ushbu ikki daryo shaharning bir chetidan ikkinchi chetiga oqib o'tadi. Boshqa ikkita asosiy daryolar - Chama va Albarregasga quyiladigan Mucujun va Milla. Shaharning pastki qismida Merida shtatidagi 200 ga yaqin ko'llardan biri bo'lgan La-Roza ko'li joylashgan.

Shahar markazida tekislikda joylashgan relyef deyarli tekis. Shunga qaramay, o'rtacha 3 dan 7 darajagacha moyillik mavjud bo'lib, bu shaharning baland va past qismlari orasidagi balandlikni 400 m dan ortiq (1300) farq qiladi.ft ), o'rtacha 1630 m (5350) ni tashkil qiladift ) dengiz sathidan yuqori Bolivar Plazmasida. Biroq, shaharni o'rab turgan joylar qo'pol va notekis bo'lib, Chama va Albarregas daryolari hamda Syerra Nevada va Syerra-de-La-Kulata tizmalaridan hosil bo'lgan vodiylarda joylashgan.

Shahar joylashgan vodiy, taxminan 40-60 million yil oldin Venesuela And tog'ining yaratilishi va uning hududning suv tizimlari tomonidan doimiy ravishda eroziya qilinishi bilan vujudga kelgan. Uning tuproqlari allyuvial cho'kindi va loydan iborat. Shahar ostida mayor joylashgan tektonik ayb mamlakatning g'arbiy qismida, Boconó yorig'i, uning tarkibiga kiradi Janubiy Amerika plitasi.

Shaharning ichki qismidagi o'simliklar o'rtacha va baland daraxtlardan iborat va ferns (Pteridofit), asosan Albarregas daryosi havzasi yaqinida joylashgan. Meridaning chekkasida, shahar bo'lmagan hududlarni topadi, bu erda tog'li va mavsumiy o'rmon o'simliklari ustun turadi. Boshqa tomondan, ulkan ignabargli o'rmonlar janub tomon cho'zilib, u erda bir necha yil oldin ekilgan. Shimolga va sharqqa qarab, bir kishi topadi bulutli o'rmonlar.

Mahalliy hayvonot dunyosi orasida ba'zi kichik va o'rta qushlarning muhim populyatsiyalari bor kolbalar va to'tiqushlar (Psittacidae), ayniqsa shaharning janubiga tarqaldi.

Iqlim

Mifafi vodiysidagi tog'lar.

El Aguila Piko tomon qor yog'adigan yo'l.

Merida a orasida yotadi tropik musson iqlimi (Am) bilan chegaradosh subtropik baland tog'li iqlimi (Köppen iqlim tasnifi Cwb), Venesuelaning boshqa shaharlariga qaraganda sovuqroq haroratda, qishi quruq. Garchi chiqindilaridagi issiqxona gazlari haroratning ko'tarilishiga olib kelgan bo'lsa-da, bu Venesuelaning boshqa muhim shaharlariga nisbatan nisbatan kam bo'lib, ko'rsatkichlari 19 orasida o'zgarib turadi. ° C va 24 ° C (75 ° F), o'rtacha 22 ° C (72 ° F). Yomg'ir yog'adigan mavsumda, apreldan noyabrga qadar yog'ingarchilik juda ko'p, garchi shahar Kolumbiyadagi And tog'ining aksariyat shaharlaridan ko'ra ko'proq quyosh nuriga ega, chunki vodiy juda tor. tuman to'planmoq.

Venesuela tropiklararo zonada joylashgan, shuning uchun bir yil davomida harorat o'zgarishi juda kam. Merida ham xuddi shunday - avgust oyida qayd etilgan haroratni yanvarda kunduzgi kunduzi taqqoslanadigan sharoitda o'lchagan harorat bilan taqqoslash mumkin.

Boshqa tomondan, Meridaning mamlakatning ichki qismida joylashganligi, dengiz qirg'oqlaridan va okean ta'siridan uzoqligi va uning balandligi hisobga olinsa, bir kun davomida harorat o'zgarishi nisbatan yuqori. Kecha va kunduz o'rtasida 10 ° C (18 ° F) dan yuqori farqni kuzatish mumkin; bu farq ba'zan 20 ° C dan yuqori (36 ° F) ga etadi. Maksimal darajaga kun davomida erishiladi va odatda 24 ° C atrofida (75 ° F), lekin kamdan-kam hollarda 30 ° C (86 ° F) dan oshadi. Kunduzgi haroratning pastki chegarasi 14 ° C (57 ° F) atrofida bo'ladi.

Hukumat

Merida shtat va munitsipalitet hukumatining qarorgohi bo'lib, u erda gubernator va meriya idoralari, shtat qonun chiqaruvchisi va sud va saylov filiallarining mintaqaviy idoralari joylashgan. Muhim vakillar va gubernatorlar, shuningdek, yillik ovoz berish sessiyasida uchrashish uchun ushbu shaharga olib boriladi. Bundan tashqari, 15 kishidan 13 tasi prefekturalar Libertador munitsipaliteti shahar ichida joylashgan.

Hozirgi kunda siyosat keng aholi o'rtasida muhim rol o'ynaydi, garchi unchalik katta bo'lmagan shahar markazlariga qaraganda va hokimiyatning eng muhim lavozimlari, shu jumladan shahar hokimi va gubernatori rasmiy partiya a'zolari tomonidan amalga oshirilsa, Beshinchi respublika harakati. Talabalarning katta kontsentratsiyasi va Los Anda Universidadining mahalliy rivojlanishdagi ahamiyati tufayli Universitet direktori va And tog 'universiteti talabalar jamoasining prezidenti mahalliy siyosiy sahnada ham katta ahamiyatga ega; ushbu idoralarning birinchisi hozirda muxolifat partiyasi a'zosi tomonidan to'ldirilgan. Yaqinda Universitet talabalari birlashmasi prezidenti saylovlari to'xtatilgani sababli, shaharda o'ndan ziyod kishi yarador bo'lgan noroziliklarning shiddatli to'lqini bo'lib o'tdi.

In 2004 yil Venesuelani chaqirib olish bo'yicha referendum, Merida shahri umumiy tendentsiyaga qarshi ovoz berdi, chunki saylovchilarning kamida 60 foizi Prezidentning davom etishiga qarshi chiqishdi Ugo Chaves mandat. Aksincha, Merida shtati aholisining aksariyati Chavesni yoqlab ovoz berishdi.

Shahar rejalashtirish

Meridaning havodan ko'rinishi

Uzunligi 10-15 km (6 dan 9 milya) gacha bo'lgan va kengligi 1 dan 3 km gacha bo'lgan maydonni o'z ichiga olgan platoda, kichik vodiyda joylashganligi sababli, shaharda endi shahar uchun qo'shimcha joy etishmayapti. rivojlanish. Uning ko'pburchak maydoni 60 kvadrat kilometrni (23 kvadrat milya) tashkil etgan bo'lsa-da,^[8] shahar 25 kvadrat kilometrdan (10 kvadrat milya) biroz ko'proq joy egallaydi, qolgan qismi esa unchalik rivojlanmagan zonalardan yoki notekis relyefli hududlardan, masalan, tog'lar yoki tepaliklardan iborat.

Shu sababli, shahar tartibi uyushmagan, faqat o'tgan o'n yilliklarda qurilgan transport oqlari tomonidan boshqarilgan. Shahar markazining rejasi yoki "Eski kvartal" Ispan mustamlakasi uslubi Sharqiy-g'arbiy yo'nalishdagi sakkizta katta prospektdan va shimoldan janubga tomon qirq ko'chadan iborat bo'lib, har tomondan 50 metrdan 100 metrgacha (160 dan 330 futgacha) bloklar yaratildi.

Tarixiy ma'noda Merida ijtimoiy-iqtisodiy sinflar va uning hayotining yuqori sifati o'rtasidagi kamroq aniq farqlar bilan ajralib turardi. So'nggi yillarda, mamlakat oldida turgan iqtisodiy vaziyat tufayli, sezilarli darajada o'sish kuzatilmoqda kechqurunlar shaharning tepaliklarida va chekkalarida.

Shaharning janubi-sharqiy qismi, tarixan yiriklarning bosh qarorgohi Haciendalar ishlab chiqarilgan shakarqamish, bir necha o'n yillar davomida asosan bir xonadonli uylardan iborat bo'lgan katta shaharsozlik rivojlanishini boshdan kechirgan va deyarli Ejido shahri bilan yotoqxona jamoasi bilan qo'shilish darajasigacha o'sgan. Ejido hozirda Merida chegarasidan 2 km (1 milya) masofada joylashgan bo'lib, ikkala shahar Merida markazidan Ejido chekkasigacha bo'lgan katta xiyobon bilan bog'langan. Ushbu nuqtada, u shaharga yugurib, avtomagistralga aylanadi El-Vigiya, shu bilan Merida metropolitenini birlashtirdi.

Rivojlanish uchun cheklangan maydonga qaramay, Merida Venesuelada jon boshiga to'g'ri keladigan yashil maydonlarning eng ko'p soniga ega, chunki uning ko'plab maydonlari va jamoat bog'lari tufayli Albarregas daryosini o'rab turgan joy ayniqsa diqqatga sazovor. Arxitektura maktabi^[9] ning And tog 'universiteti shaharsozlikdan himoyalangan hududlarni yaratish va shu bilan atrof-muhitga aholi o'sishining ta'sirini kamaytirish bo'yicha turli xil takliflarni amalda tatbiq etadi.

Mahallalar

20-asr boshlarida shaharda faqat ikkita mahalla bo'lgan. Ulardan biri edi Kasko Markaziy (markaziy kvartal), platoning sharqiy qirg'og'ida joylashgan; bu o'z navbatida ichkaridagi mahalliy maydon nomiga ko'ra aniqlangan turli zonalarga bo'lingan. Shaharning boshqa mahallasi Albarregas daryosining narigi tomonida, g'arbiy sohilda joylashgan. Sifatida tanilgan La Otra Banda ("boshqa bank"). Biroq, natijada Yog 'bum, immigratsiya va boshqa turli sabablarga ko'ra yillar o'tgan sayin yangi mahallalar paydo bo'ldi. Birinchi bo'lib shahar markaziga yaqin bo'lganlar paydo bo'ldi. Keyin ko'chmas mulk etishmasligi va tinchroq joylarni qidirishda mahallalar o'sha paytda, shahar markazidan uzoqroqda yaratilgan. Ushbu eski shporlarning ba'zilari endi shaharning bir qismiga aylangan. Quyidagilar shaharning asosiy mahallalari.

Belensat

Asosan yuqori toifadagi mahalla bu shaharda eng katta va eng hashamatli uylarni o'z ichiga oladi.

Kasko Markaziy

U tarixiy shahar markazidan iborat. Bu asosiy tijorat, madaniy va shahar hududidir, ko'pchilikni o'z ichiga oladi muzeylar, kutubxonalar Merida shahridagi cherkovlar va chakana savdo do'konlari.

Chama

Bu Chama daryosi atrofida joylashgan o'rta sinf uchun yashash joyidir. Bu shaharning eng past balandlikdagi mahallasi, shahar markazidan 200 metr (660 fut) pastroqda joylashgan. U ulanadi Kasko Markaziy orqali havo yo'li qismi sifatida rejalashtirilgan Merida trolleybus loyihasi.

Gumboldt

Bu shaharning janubi-g'arbiy qismida joylashgan aholi punkti, so'nggi yillarda savdo rivojlanib bormoqda.

La Hechicera

Shaharning shimoliy qismida joylashgan bo'lib, u ilmiy va muhandislik binolarini o'z ichiga oladi ULA, shuningdek hayvonot bog'i va botanika bog'i.

La Parroquia

Bu ilgari La Punta nomi bilan tanilgan qishloqning hozirgi nomi. U o'xshashliklarni Kasko Markaziy, turar joy va tijorat zonalari aralashgan holda. Unda shahardagi ikkinchi Bolivar maydoni, shuningdek, yirik davlat litseylari va sport inshootlari mavjud "Metropolitan" stadioni va sport majmuasi Cinco Águilas Blancas.

La Pedregosa

Bu La Pedregosa daryosi vodiysida joylashgan uzoq mahalla. Bu asosan turar-joy zonasi. Garchi shahar bilan bog'langan bo'lsa-da, so'nggi o'n yilliklar ichida tegishli ko'chmas mulk mavjudligi sababli uning rivojlanishi o'sganligi etarli.

Los-Curos

Bu mashhur mahalla, deyarli faqat turar-joy, garchi u shahardagi sanoqli zonalardan birini o'z ichiga olgan bo'lsa.

Pie del Llano

Shaharning o'rtasida joylashgan bo'lib, u aeroportni va bir qator davlat idoralarining mahalliy filiallarini hamda shahar meriyasini o'rab oladi. Bu ko'plab jamoat bog'lari bo'lgan savdo va turar-joy mahallasi.

Avenida 16 / Campo de Oro / Santa Juana

Bu shaharning geografik markazida joylashgan o'rta sinf mahallasi. Bu ko'plab avtoulovlar va avtoulovlar do'konlari joylashgan va eng avvalo IHULA shahrining eng yirik kasalxonasi joylashgan Tatuy mesa bilan chegaradosh (Lost Andes Universitario Instituto Autónomo kasalxonasi)

Nihoyat, munitsipalitet (siyosiy maqsadlarda) cherkovlarga bo'linadi; munitsipalitetning o'n beshta cherkovidan o'n uchtasi shahar ichida.

Demografiya

Venesuela And tog'ining eng yirik shaharlaridan biri bo'lishiga qaramay, Merida an'anaviy ravishda mamlakatning tez sur'atlar bilan o'sib borayotgan boshqa shaharlariga nisbatan kamroq aholi yashagan. 19-asrning boshlarida shaharning atigi 5000 ga yaqin aholisi bor edi. Demografik o'sish 20-asrning so'nggi uch o'n yilligida, aholisi uch baravar ko'payib, 74000 kishidan (1971 yilgi aholi ro'yxati bo'yicha) hozirgi 214000 kishigacha bo'lgan paytgacha jiddiy o'zgarishlarni ko'rmadi. Aholining ko'payishiga, asosan, yaqinda sodir bo'lgan narsa sabab bo'ldi ko'chib ketish dehqonlar shahar markazlariga ko'chib o'tishlari, bu hodisa butun mamlakat bo'ylab kuzatilgan. Bundan tashqari, And universiteti nufuzi Meridani butun mamlakat bo'ylab etakchi ta'lim markazlaridan biriga aylantirdi. Natijada, shaharda butun mamlakat bo'ylab talabalar uchun muhim bo'lgan aholi yashaydi.

2001 yilda o'tkazilgan so'nggi aholini ro'yxatga olish ma'lumotlariga ko'ra, Merida aholisi 204.879 kishidan iborat edi. Ushbu qiymatga mamlakat bo'ylab taxminan 6% ni tashkil etadigan so'rov o'tkazib yuborilgan aholi kirmaydi. Biroq, Meridaning metropoliten (kattaroq) hududi, unga qo'shni Tabay va Ejido shaharlari kiradi, 300 mingdan ortiq aholi yashaydi.

2006 yilda ushbu hududda o'sishning odatdagi tabiiy darajasini (yiliga 2,1% dan 3% gacha) faraz qilgan holda, aholi soni 230 ming kishiga etdi, metropoliten esa Ejido shahridagi yuqori o'sish sur'ati tufayli 350 ming kishiga etgan bo'lar edi. bu Andes mintaqasining eng kattalaridan biri.^[11]Boshqa hisob-kitoblar shuni ko'rsatadiki, shaharning haqiqiy aholisi hozirda 250 mingga yaqin aholiga yetgan va metropoliten 350 ming kishidan iborat.^[11][12]Merida aholisi nisbatan bir hil. O'tgan davrlarning qit'alararo va ichki qit'alararo ko'chish uslublari natijasida vujudga kelgan chet elliklarning katta hamjamiyati mavjud. Bular orasida muhim guruhlar mavjud Italiyaliklar, Portugal va Kolumbiyaliklar. 1990 yilgi aholini ro'yxatga olish ma'lumotlariga ko'ra, aholining 4% dan sal ko'proqrog'i - 7406 nafar aholisi - chet eldan kelib chiqqan.^[12]

Sog'liqni saqlash

Shahar Venesuelada eng yuqori sifatli hayotga ega.^[13] 2000 yilda Merida shahridagi metropoliten hududida o'ttiz oltita sog'liqni saqlash markazlari joylashgan edi: shaharning bitta turidagi kasalxonasi, III turidagi kasalxonasi va IV turidagi kasalxonasi, bundan tashqari 15 ta shahar klinikasi, to'rttasi III turdagi va I turdagi 11. Shuningdek, hududda 18 ta qishloq vrachlik punktlari, 13 ta II turdagi va 5 ta I turdagi.

Boshqa jihatlarga o'xshab, Universidad de Los Andes va uning binolari shahar bilan chambarchas bog'langan; sog'liqni saqlash infratuzilmasi asosan xususiy tibbiyot markazlaridan tashqari, avvalgisiga tegishli tibbiyot markazlaridan iborat. Bepul xizmat ko'rsatadigan davlat shifoxonalari orasida e'tiborga loyiqdir Instituto Autónomo kasalxonasi Universitario de Los Andes (IHULA), mintaqadagi eng yirik, shuningdek ikkita kichik kasalxonalar va Venesuelaning bir bobi Qizil Xoch. Kattaroq xususiy shifoxonalar (odatda "klinikalar" deb nomlanadi) - Meridaning Klinik kasalxonasi, Klinik markazi, Merida klinikasi va Albarregas klinikasi. Yana o'nlab kichik klinikalar mavjud.

Iqtisodiyot

And mehmonxonasining ko'rinishi. Shaharda turizm hayotning asosiy manbai hisoblanadi.

Merida shahri eng past shaharlardan biriga ega qashshoqlik ko'rsatkichlari Venesuelada. 2001 yilgi aholini ro'yxatga olish ma'lumotlariga ko'ra, aholining 18,09% qashshoqlikda yashaydi; bu ko'rsatkich faqat tomonidan kaltaklangan San-Kristobal (17,05%) va Chakao (8.69%), Baruta (11,22%) va San-Antonio de Los Altos (6,13%) ning holatida Miranda.^[14]

20-asr boshlaridan shahar iqtisodiyoti rivojlanib va ​​o'zgarib bordi. An'anaga ko'ra, qishloq xo'jaligi davlatda qishloq xo'jalik mahsulotlarini tarqatish markazi bo'lgan Merida iqtisodiy faoliyatning eng muhim qismini tashkil etdi. Bundan tashqari, katta shakarqamish gaciendalar yaqin joyda joylashgan; ularning daromadlari Meridaning barcha shakar qamishidan ishlov berilgan markaziy shakarni qayta ishlash zavodini qurishga olib keldi. Oxir-oqibat, ushbu neftni qayta ishlash zavodidan voz kechildi va endi muzeyga aylantirildi. Qurilishi bilan Merida teleferik Andes trans-magistrali va shahar aeroporti shahar iqtisodiyoti rivojlanib, uchinchi darajali xizmat ko'rsatish sohasi, ayniqsa, turizm asosiy qishloq xo'jaligi sohasini siqib chiqardi.

"Yashil sanoat" deb nomlangan turizm shaharning asosiy daromad manbai va gullab-yashnayotgan sohalaridan biridir. Sayyohlik faoliyati shaharni o'rab turgan And tog'lari va shaharning o'ziga xos bog'lari, muzeylari va plazmalaridagi imkoniyatlardan va boshqa xususiyatlardan foydalanadi. Bundan tashqari, so'nggi yillarda, mamlakatda yagona bepul madaniy, ilmiy va texnologik zonaning tashkil etilishi tufayli shahar ushbu sohada universitetning qo'llab-quvvatlashi tufayli texnologiyalar sohasida ham rivojlana boshladi.^[15][16][17]Merida shahri hozirgi kunda yashash darajasining pastligi bilan milliy darajada ajralib turadi^[15] va uning jon boshiga to'g'ri keladigan yuqori (yashash narxiga nisbatan) daromadlari 4381 AQSh dollarini tashkil etadi, bu Venesuela shaharlari orasida to'qqizinchi o'rinda turadi.^[16] Xizmat ko'rsatish sohasi davlat daromadlarining katta foizini tashkil etadi. Merida 82,537 kishi iqtisodiy faol, shundan 6,67% ishsiz.^[17]

Transport

Merida transport xaritasi

Davomida mustamlakachilik davri va mustaqillikdan ancha vaqt o'tgach, shahar tashqi dunyoga transport yo'llari yo'qligi sababli mamlakatning boshqa qismlaridan ajralib turdi. 19-asrning o'rtalarida shaharni mamlakatning qolgan qismi bilan bog'laydigan va shu bilan kirish va transport vositalarining harakatlanishini engillashtiradigan birinchi avtomagistral qurildi. Ushbu nuqtadan keyin boshqa yo'nalishlar rejalashtirildi, ammo parvarishlanmaganligi va erning tabiati Merida va mamlakatning qolgan qismi o'rtasida quruqlikda transportda katta uzilishlarga olib keldi.

Aeroport

Shaharda bitta milliy aeroport bor edi, Alberto Karnevalli aeroporti shahar markaziga o'rnatilgan va bir vaqtlar g'arbiy Venesuelaning asosiy shaharlari bilan aloqalarni taklif qilgan, masalan Marakaybo va Karakas. Bundan tashqari, ushbu aeroport mamlakatdagi eng faol aeroportlardan biri bo'lib, faqat Karakasga har kuni va undan kuniga 20 dan ortiq reyslarni amalga oshirgan. Biroq, aeroport 2009 yilda And tog'lari ichida joylashganligi sababli sodir bo'lgan ko'plab baxtsiz hodisalar tufayli yopilgan edi. 2015 yildan boshlab^[yangilash], Avior Airlines Karakasga parvozlarni taklif qiladi. Kabi yaqin atrofdagi boshqa aeroportlar Xuan Pablo Peres Alfonso El-Vigia xalqaro aeroporti, endi Merida xizmat qiladi.

Aeroport 1956 yilda, qassobxonaning sobiq maydonida qurilgan. Tijorat aviakompaniyasini ikkita aviakompaniya ko'rsatdi. Shuningdek, shaxsiy aviatsiya uchun maydon mavjud bo'lib, u har xil turdagi shaxsiy reyslarni, shuningdek, aviatsiya tez tibbiy yordam reyslarini qabul qiladi, shuningdek posilka va boshqa qimmatbaho buyumlarni etkazib beradi.

Yo'l tarmog'i

Meridaning to'rtta katta ichki yo'llari bor, ular shaharning bir chetidan u boshiga o'tishadi va beshta kichik yo'llar mavjud. Eng kattasi - ning birikmasi Andres Bello va Urdaneta xiyobonlar Uzunligi 8 km dan (5 milya) ko'proq, Meridaning markaziy kvartalidagi mahallalardan Ejidoning chekkalariga qadar boradi. Qolgan uchtasi mos keladi Las-amerika va Alberto Karnevali xiyobonlar; 16-septiembre va Tulio Febres Cordero xiyobonlar; va koridor Los-Proseres xiyobon.

Ikkita milliy avtomagistral Meridani Venesuelaning boshqa shaharlari bilan bog'laydi. Birinchisi Tronkal 7 yoki Trans-And magistrali shahariga yuguradi Valera. Ushbu avtomagistral Chama daryosi vodiysi orqali Andni kesib o'tadi va mintaqaga etib boradi Apartaderos, kesib o'tgan Mahalliy 1. Nihoyat, Santo Domingo daryosidan o'tib, u shaharga etib boradi Barinas. Boshqa milliy avtomagistral deb ataladi Carretera La Variante. Estanques mintaqasiga etib borgach Mahalliy 8 yoki Autopista Rafael Kaldera. La Variante Meridani El Vigiya bilan, o'z navbatida Panamerika magistrali, shu bilan shaharga Kolumbiya va boshqa muhim yo'nalishlar bilan aloqani beradi, masalan San-Kristobal va Marakaybo.

Merida shahridan milliy avtomagistrallardan tashqari uchta muqobil yo'nalish chiqadi. Birinchisi Via del Valle (Valley Road) shaharni shimol bilan, Santos Marquina munitsipalitetidagi Kulata vodiysidagi turli jamoalar bilan bog'laydi. Ikkinchisi - Ejido shahri va Jaji va La Azulita kabi boshqa jamoalarga muqobil yo'l; bu shuningdek, turizm bo'limidir, uning boshlang'ich qismida Merida oldida turli xil kuzatuv punktlari joylashgan. Faqatgina qishloq avtoulovlari foydalanadigan uchinchi kichik marshrut shaharni Los-Nevados hamjamiyati bilan va Syerra Nevada Milliy bog.

Jamoat transporti

A bilan birga trolleybus tezkor tranzit tizim (hali ham qurilishi davom etayotgan va hali to'liq ochilmagan) shahar shahar va shaharlararo ulkan tizimga tayanadi avtobus shaharni metropoliten bilan bog'laydigan marshrutlar. An'anaviy avtobus yo'nalishlari shaharning turli xiyobonlari bo'ylab harakatlanadi va shahar maydonining katta qismini egallaydi. Merida Venesuelaning eng yaxshi jamoat transporti tizimlaridan biriga ega; shunga qaramay, tizim tobora ortib borayotgan talab tufayli g'arq bo'ldi va qulashi boshlanishi mumkin. Mavjud marshrutlar orasida Ejido shahrining markazidan Merida shahrining markaziga har kuni minglab yo'lovchilar tashiydigan marshrut ajralib turadi.

Avtobus yo'nalishlariga xususiy kompaniyalar xizmat ko'rsatishadi, ularning aksariyati kooperativlar yoki haydovchilar uyushmalari bo'lib, Venesuelaning aksariyat shaharlarida qo'llaniladigan xususiy modelga amal qilishadi. Biroq, olinadigan narxlar shahar tomonidan tartibga solinadi va shahar transporti uchun shahar tashkiloti tomonidan nazorat qilinadi. Mamlakat bo'ylab odatlanib qolganidek, jamoat transporti tizimida keksa yoshdagi fuqarolar uchun maxsus tariflar mavjud va mamlakatdagi eng kam xarajatlarni ta'minlaydigan talabalar uchun yo'llanma.

Ko'p yillik tadqiqotlar natijasida, ifloslantirmaydigan ommaviy tranzit tizimini qurish taklif qilindi; The trolleybus eng mos transport vositasi sifatida tanlangan. Qurilishi Merida trolleybus tizimi 1990 yillarning oxirlarida boshlangan. Birinchi qator 2007 yil 18 iyunda ochilgan,^[18] taklif qilingan 34 ta stantsiyadan 15 tasi tugallandi. Ushbu yo'nalish Ejido va Meridaga xizmat qiladi. Ikkinchi yo'nalish rejalashtirish bosqichida bo'lib, uning uzunligi 12 km (7 mil) bo'lishi kerak. Uchta umumiy stantsiya yonida yoki 1-marshrutni kesib o'tishi kutilmoqda. havo yo'li (dastlab a. bo'lishi rejalashtirilgan funikulyar ), bu hamjamiyatni bog'laydigan 3 km (2 mil) uzunlikdagi marshrut Chama Merida trolleybus stantsiyasiga; qurilish hali boshlanmagan. Qurilish tugagandan so'ng, Merida Lotin Amerikasida 500 minggacha aholisi bo'lgan tezkor tranzit tizimiga ega birinchi shahar bo'ladi. Amaldagi avtobus yo'nalishlari kam xizmat ko'rsatiladigan joylarga jamoat transporti xizmatini ko'rsatish uchun 47 ga yaqin oziqlantiruvchi yo'nalish sifatida qayta tashkil etiladi.

Mintaqaviy transport

Merida mavjud bo'lgan yagona mintaqaviy jamoat transporti avtobusda. Ular shahar avtovokzalidan jo'nab ketishadi. Bundan tashqari, boshqa xususiy terminallar mavjud, ulardan xususiy yo'nalishlar chiqib ketadi. Markaziy stantsiyadan avtobuslarda shtat, mintaqa va mamlakatning qolgan joylariga borishi mumkin. Mamlakatda eng ko'p ishlatiladigan marshrutlarning ba'zilari ushbu stantsiyadan, xususan, Meridani Karakas shahri bilan bog'laydigan yo'nalishlardan boshlanadi. Venesuela milliy temir yo'l tizimini qurishni boshlagan bo'lsa-da, IAFE, mamlakatni bir-biri bilan bog'lab turish uchun Merida shahri ushbu tizimda to'xtash joyi sifatida taxmin qilinmaydi: eng yaqin bekat El Vigia shahri bo'ladi, taxminan 60 km (37 milya).

Manfaat nuqtalari

Merida ko'plab tarixiy maydonlar, mustamlaka uylari, cherkovlar va hukumat binolarini o'z ichiga oladi, bu uning diqqatga sazovor joylarining aksariyatini tashkil etadi. Bundan tashqari, shaharning ta'lim rivojlanishi, asosan, uning universiteti (ULA) tufayli muzeylar, kutubxonalar va ilmiy tadqiqotlar markazlarini yaratishga yordam berdi. Astronomiya tadqiqotlari markazi (CIDA), shahardan bir necha kilometr uzoqlikda, Apartaderos yaqinidagi tog'larda joylashgan.
