Shih Tzu Whining While I'm Home



Located in the same way the southern cane land and mountains. The wise and balanced nature has given to the municipality of Yaguate several natural heritage among them with great care include caves and cave room that served as our first settlers, and the fabulous natural architecture carved in stone that stand between water and range. Front

sky a monument of rocks that seem to have been placed intentionally by someone who wanted to impress everyone who had the opportunity to see such a spectacle. And there between heaven and earth, sky and water, is The Count of Mana where the art of nature poured her creativity by distributing these huge rocks of a symmetrical so the viewer awake all kinds of sense.

Count as it's called in this majestic place located in the community of Mana, which combines water and rocks, soil and vegetation, birds with their songs seem to spoil the nature. Count stone monument erected against the sky.

Following our tour of the vast legacy that nature granted to the municipality of Yaguate, we went to La Cueva de la Mancha room place that served the former Aboriginal race.

La Cueva de La Mancha, located in the heart of a mountain west of Yaguate (center) is an ancient cave consists of several rooms to which they have been given unique names such as "Room 12 at night" so dark it's that part, which is used to perform all kinds of religious rites, especially those related to Santeria and Spiritualism.

Inside the cave, in addition to the rooms already mentioned, has a small stream that flows from the rocky surface, which, say those who know the area, a water springs can heal all kinds of evils and bring good luck if it is deposited into coins of a certain value.

Because of the distance and characteristics of mountain road that must be undertaken to get there, this heritage sometimes natural looks abandoned except in dates in the community usually make religious festivals, it acquires a temporary color. Certainly

nature imposes itself creating things that man could not, or can create. Features

TopográficasAproximadamente 80% of the territory of the Municipality of Yaguate consists of plains where you can find small elevations of little importance.

Yaguate The population consists mostly of peasants engaged in agriculture and workers who move to industries and factories in sub-urban areas of the municipality San Cristobal, Haina and Santo Domingo.

The forested area of \u200b\u200bthe municipality has been greatly reduced from deforestation which is offset by the planting of sugar cane, sugar mill owned CAEI and private settlers, 65% of existing land in the municipality.

Yaguate The Municipality is washed to the west by the dying Nizao River whose waters are languishing from the effects caused by the construction of the dam Valdesia, Jiguey-Avocado, and by the indiscriminate extraction of construction materials that perform the granseras that are installed in their cause and environment.

This river looks dry and deforested so soon could cause their disappearance. Similarly
are the streams and creeks that traverse the Township, Example: Yaguate Arroyo, Arroyo Dona Ana, Arroyo La Cueva, etc., Only in times of high rainfall recalls the old days when fishing and refreshing dips were a delight for much of the population of Yaguate and surrounding areas.

As the urban area of \u200b\u200bthe municipality, the streets are paved which facilitates the mobility at the municipal geographic area.

electricity service covers 90% of the communities and only 10% do not have this service, they are communities located in mountainous areas hard access.

The territory is crossed at its downtown on Highway Sanchez is the most important communication channel linking the capital with the peoples of the south. Extension

Km2 of MunicipioEl Yaguate Township belongs to the province of San Cristobal, located southeast of the Republic, covers 122 square kilometers.

Yaguate HistoriaFundación of the western banks of the River Nizao natural border that divides the province of San Cristobal de la Comarca Banilejo related flourishing of sixteenth century, established the Captain John Tello de Guzman, Hato Yaguate.

This Hato occupied the grounds of Las Cuevas, Uncle Lorenzo, Pujabante, Paimatía, Yaguate Mana, mana Hatillo Hatillo Boca Yaguate and Mana, as stated Don Felix Reyes in his book, "Understanding the Ancient Historical Farms, Ranches and herds "that existed during the colonial era in the Party Nigua mills, now San Cristobal.

We have information that Captain Taylor Guzman was also the owner of a herd and a wit Pizarrete installed on the farm of San Miguel de La Jagua, today the site of the Cabria Jagua, the property that we are interested is Herd of Yaguate, and that was the origin of the current population of that name.

The origin of the present town of Hato Yaguate was a not a wit as was the case of San Cristobal, allows for a social difference that explains many of the events experienced by this community in the course of its history.

is well known that the herds were engaged for the breeding of cattle and were not dedicated to the cultivation of agricultural products Agroindustrial vocation, as were the mills in which a slave structure allowed the growth of a different society. Sergio Joaquin

Incháustegui defined the Hato, "Place Where families whose main occupation was raising horses and cutting timber. "

While for the proper functioning of the ingenuity demanded a large amount of labor on the ranch, there were only a few people to do the job of herding. The ingenuity required a massive use of slave labor, thereby facilitating the concentration of slaves and the birth of mulatto.

in herds did not need the massive use of slave so in their settlements appeared homogeneous environment which prevailed in Europe.

In our history there are cases such as the community of Bani that unlike San Cristobal island was populated by the (English born in the Canary Islands). For Yaguate and traditional family is the same.

According to information of Felix Reyes on 8 July 1648, Juan Rivera and Quezada acquired the ranch of Captain Guzman Tello. A few years later the herd was donated by Don Juan to Parents Jesusonian for revenues generated from its operation was founded a school in Santo Domingo and he was paid an annuity of 300 pesos to the donor during his lifetime and his death to his successors .

El Hato de Yaguate remained in the possession of the Fathers of the Order of Jesus for 118 years until the religious congregation was expelled from Santo Domingo in 1767 to be enforced a law enacted in that year by King of Spain Don Carlos I, by which it ordered the deportation of all Jesusonian of Spain and its possessions.

Hato Yaguate Then it was sold to Mr. Don José Guridi and Rivero de la Concha and two years later to die this is left as an inheritance to his son Nicholas Guridi and Frómeta. Later, it became the property of the Father Doctor Correa Bernardo and Cidrón who in 1818 sold it to Mrs. Margarita Fuentes.

Margarita Fuentes and her husband, Don Antonio Alvarez, two whites from the Canary Islands, who were residents of San Carlos were the ones who founded the town in 1818.

Family was the core Fuentes Álvarez originating Yaguate population.

we also note that in the past, important figures attended the disastrous Yaguate annexation carried out by Pedro Santana in 1861. Similarly

include originating Yaguate generals took part in the Cuban Independence War in 1868. These being the Modesto General Díaz, Félix Marcan, Ignacio Diaz Alvarez, Eugenio Díaz Alvarez Lucas, the latter was the father of two of the authors of the assassination of dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina in May 1961. They were modest and Juan Tomás Díaz Díaz Quezada Quezada.

War Remarkably, the restorations carried out by Nationalist forces against the English colonialists major change occurred in the town of Yaguate. For this village was burned by his addiction to the annexation to Spain.

After English troops left the country on 11 July 1865, it built a new town.

In the year 1882 the area was installed in the Vicini family that built the Ingenio Italy. Vicini to acquire the land where the village was caused Yaguate it out moved to the site that is now being relocated to the edge of the road, leading from San Cristobal to the people of the South.

El Ingenio Italy, now CIS which is the abbreviation for the name of Holdings Industrial Company Limited is the only industry in the area, which has allowed the expansion of the town of Yaguate. Origin and EvoluciónSería

difficult to establish precisely that moment began the first human settlements where today the city of Yaguate.
can be determined without great difficulty in establishing the first English surrounding areas Nizao River, were attracted by good prospects provided the planting and production of sugarcane in the region of the English Colony.

The cultivation of sugarcane was the main reason and only facility in the area of \u200b\u200bYaguate, in the early colonial period of the first human settlements. The prized plant that had been introduced on the island of Santo Domingo by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage in 1493, had found an environment conducive to their development.

In an interesting and rather curious publication entitled: "The Son Alegre Sugar Cane, Biography of Ron," the Cuban historian Fernando Campoamor addressed the beginning of sugar production in America to write in 150, is given first cane by Pedro Atienza, 1506: the first occurring sugars, Miguel Ballester or Auilón or Aquilon, 1515 the first harvest of the sugar mill by Gonzalo Veloso, and 1516: the introduction of the first Ingenio by Gonzalo de Veloso and the brothers Francisco and Cristobal Tapia.

is known that the first crop of sugar cane became the island was in Isabela, then in La Vega Real, was in the area which now forms part of the province of San Cristobal where performed first harvest of sugar mill in the entire American continent. It was there that the bachelor Velosa built the first sugar mill that was appropriate for the European market.

National poet Pedro Mir, a son of genius and that his father was a sugar worker of Cuban origin who worked for his long and fruitful life in the area of \u200b\u200bproduction, wrote beautiful pages in which he highlighted the importance of Yaguate at the beginning and subsequent development of sugar production in the new world, when he said about "Yaguate is an Indian name. Because the village square with its fine ... has ancestry. Yaguate tolerance is linked to the saga of the island. In Yaguate, founded the first mill of the new world.

In the play written by the National Poet Don Pedro Mir "Three legends of colors" marks a very important fact in the history of Yaguate when it comes to the Bachiller Gonzalo de Velosa a surgeon large scientific curiosities built the first powerful genius, that is, a device moved by water power and not for human or animal power as they were moved the mills operating in the colony at that time.

The mill was built a mile and a half of the Nizao River Bachelor Veloso and his two partners was a major undertaking flights capitalists.

powerful ingenuity or wit of water, which had greater milling capacity increased sugar production.

For this reason one can say without betraying the historical truth that Yaguate was the scene of a momentous event in the history of mankind as a whole. CulturaPrincipales
Features CulturalesEl Yaguate municipality owns a large Pre-Columbian and colonial historical legacy which makes him one of the richest municipalities in this regard.

In this county there are very marked features heirs of pre-Columbian culture, an example of this is the process of manufacture of cassava that still persists in this area, so identical to that carried out the Tainos and indeed the names of the vessels used for production are still the same. The Guariquito is the press used to squeeze the cassava. Another object is Taino Buren is made of clay and limestone and GET WITH IT has an opening for firewood, which heats the surface where the flour is cooked of cassava. The

Guayiga Taino is another important crop that is still used in our municipality. This tobérculo buns are made (which is popularly known as "Bums" to "Palanoche" baked in the oven (baked clay or mud), the ojaldas, which is similar to a Bobon and to take the palate and fly apart into flour to be eaten slowly, hence the saying: "He who has more ojaldas swallow more saliva.

colonial heritage is also notable because in our communities is a great devotion to Our Lady of Las Mercedes, September 24, and Grace, on January 21 of each year. In these two dates are held evenings or revelations that have a pre-prepared they call novenas every day sponsored by a family that belongs the toast of the night. Also in some communities appear devotions as San Juan, San Antonio, La Virgen del Carmen, etc. These revelations

above is used to cook for all the guests and the festivities are done with sticks, drums, gourds, balsié, maracas and tambourines, in which calls are sung salves alluding to the Virgin and related issues community.

In urban areas, the patron is the Holy Cross, the feast that began in the hamlet of La Ermita Najayo the Middle Section, then went on to be held in the old chapel CIS wit and then the place where today is located the town, in honor of Santa Cruz is held the famous festivity of Yaguate. On May 3 is marked as the day of Santa Cruz, from 9 days before developing a program of activities prepared by the organizing committee of festivities prior to all this is due to elect the Queen of the festivity.

We can not talk of folklore and traditions of this Municipality not to mention the community of Mana and Mrs. Bibiana Rosa. Much has been written and spoken around the life of this woman came to regarded as a prophetess sent from God.

Juan Dagoberto Tejeda Ortiz Dominican prominent sociologist stated in his "Well, Monograph of an aborted Messianic movement," the life of this woman who for many locals no longer a mystery.

Very little is known about the origin of this healer in addition to this virtue, was able to predict events. Some believe he was born in Barahona, for others in San Juan de la Maguana, while some say he was born in Najayo or Limonal of Bani.

Ignorance of birth allows by its followers to interpret magical - religious. Magic because for many it appeared in a cave full of Indians, and religious because the story has many similarities with the early years of the life of Christ was a time when hidden.

In Iguana (site of Bam) began to heal and built a chapel that became the center of prayer and meeting people around. Bibiana one night had a dream where the Lord entrusted with a mission on earth, he should leave this place and stop at the place indicated by the dream. Went into the mountains with his assistant Florencio Bautista Isabel, and after many days on the road again had a dream that indicated the exact location. They planted a cross and immediately began to pray in the moonlight. The place was baptized with the name of Mana.
As
were making prayers and miracles were coming more and more people, given the number of patients who came, it was necessary to construct buildings.

The work is voluntary and collective, organized or treats together 3 or 4 participants. The first thing built was a small chapel, a large grove accommodation of the sick call "hospital", a home visitor, the priest's house and the house of Bibi.

those who know the woman described as a short, chubby and Galanos eyes, always wearing "ready" barefoot and did not charge to do their jobs, also did not sleep in bed, sleeping on the ground in a pocket or Yagua.

According to his followers Bibiana was able to predict many things that were later seen by them.

Although this woman existed at the beginning of last century people still visit this church, it houses the tomb of Bibi and today what was once a church and tables cane palms, is a concrete building. Devotees from different communities are addressed in penance to meet the so-called "Promises" and make revelations or simple visit to the Virgin of Las Mercedes patron of Mana. Before, this was a hike of about 10 km. on foot to climb that hill, but some years ago that people can climb into truck Jeeps and''close''to the church and only have to walk a 500 meters or so.

playful aspects of human activity are in line with the movement of culture, the games being an important part in the development of children. therefore it is necessary to rescue those games that made tradition in our town as:

• The taquito • The Trompo • La Cubanita • cashew seeds • The hoe • The corner • Mom pegona • Escondido • Trucámelo • The Daisy Chain • Belt • Police • Bandidos and jeans • mangulina • Skateboarding • Fuin, Fuan • The round • The Cat and the Mouse • The chichigua • The engomao • The bottle • Rice pudding

must establish that the municipality is Catholic Christian religious belief, even though, in these days seen a tremendous growth of Protestant churches of origin as: Evangelical Pentecostal, Adventist, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons and others.

LeyendasYaguate old foundation as a people have legends about him that enrich their culture, in this case there are two of Anacaona and cuff. Legend

Anacaona is the belief that India's Anacaona died by hanging and was buried in the eastern part of Central Park in this town (this version has not been confirmed because no evidence was found to validate this fact.
Cuff
Legend

is that many of munícipes lived scenes of terror in the famous sleeve located within walking distance of the channel or rigola as saying., located beside the old road towards Ingenio Sánchez CAEI.

This leafy tree served as a refuge for pedestrians, feeding time production of its rich mango mameyito, despite all these virtues that adorned the tree, he said that night was a huge list that ran guapones terrified by the scenes that were observed around it, among other states that appeared cloando hen and her chicks followed them with his "Pio Pio" is placed behind the dam causing fever, headaches, intestinal disorders and even nervous breakdowns and heart.

is said that from the top were voices from beyond the grave, remeneo of its branches and this resulted in faster transients without intention of racing competition.

The cuff was the cause of breakups since those who went on foot the same since CAEI and other communities in the area to be affected by any action only heard what others had preferred to safeguard their lives.

There are those who believe that this was not the action of some wise / idlers who had nothing else to have fun and / or the imagination of some fools who had nothing but space to believe in fairy tales.

Where To Place Brownie Patches

Yaguate municipality municipality of Villa Altagracia municipality of San Gregorio

The exact date that appears as a cluster Villa Altagracia is not clear, although it is known that between 1908 and 1920 the territory was known as "Savannah of the dead. " Local History



To locate historically the village of Villa Altagracia, it is a very wise collection of "periodization" conducted and reported in the book of the Strategic Development Plan of the Municipality of Villa Altagracia 2005-2015. There is taken as a reference point for the establishment of the sugar industry in the municipality represented by Ingenio Catarey-now defunct-to explain the historical evolution of the town.

Thus, the history of the village of Villa Altagracia has been divided into three periods: Pre-Catarey, Trans-and Post-Catarey Catarey. Pre-

Catarey

is the period that runs from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, until in 1948 when construction began on the sugar mill "Catarey" serving as a reference to the periodization proposed.

is noted as a characteristic of this period, the territory and its people, "In the beginning ... they were wild places, consisting of fertile lands bathed in rivers, streams and creeks, the waters crept sedimentary gold, which attracted many people residing in neighboring communities "

The territory was" necessary step for the passage of caravans of traders on their way to Santo Domingo. Then, mail between the capital and the rest of the country was on horseback, this sector constitutes a route to reach the Cibao.

is explained in the text that "the foregoing factors constituted the main cause of migration of early settlers, which is estimated came mostly from San Cristobal and less of the Cibao area."

"Among the first settlers may be mentioned by Ramon Mejia, Jerome Mejia, Marcelino Nivar, Miguel Puello and families and Constanza Carmona."

consulted the text locates the first building of importance in the territory in 1926, consisting of "a concrete terrace (concrete) and rod assembly, in space now runs a commercial bank.

"Until 1940 the community depended primarily on agriculture, the search for gold, trade, animal husbandry and hunting, particularly of pork Cimarron." But "in 1942 the installation of the banana company subsidiary of United Fruit in Central America, the Dominican Fruit, began to transform the relations of the economy and the behavior of the inhabitants"

On the process of urbanization of the territory, the text notes, "was initiated urbanization process, as both executives John Pay their workers needed places to live. This urbanization process accelerated in the late 40's and became entrenched in the 50's. "

The end of the period stood at 1948. In the text reads for this year, "the former president of the Republic, Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina began the process of taking over the land for cultivation of sugarcane. There were large plantations of bananas and the banana company, confronting political issues in Central America, and difficulties with the governments of the region, was obliged to leave the country, a situation that was exploited by Trujillo to increase the sugarcane area and the installation of the sugar mill that gave the name of Central Catarey. "

Trans-Catarey

"This period covers from 1948 to 1986. It began with the cultivation of cane and mill installation Catarey which was expanded in 1954 with a mill machinery had been dismantled in Batey Straw San Pedro de Macoris. "

"The installation and expansion of the mill gave a big boost to the economy, and the town became a place of great economic activity. People who could not enter the factory is devoted to sugarcane field. Came the farmers, weeding crews, farm foremen, foremen, farm laborers, the timekeepers, among others. "

"The hauling of sugarcane was done in carts pulled by oxen, which also developed new activities, such as the herdsman and the road. After the railroad was built and transported the cane to the mill passed through a train driven by a locomotive, thereby creating a new type of employment that helped strengthen the economy of the community. "

the sugar mill "stimulated a massive immigration attracted by the sweetness sugar. " From that moment began the Haitian migration, who on arrival were hired as laborers and housed in barracks.

In 1959, Villa Altagracia municipality becomes, the same year began the construction of the National Paper Industry, which opened later in 1961. "What contributed to how bright the economic boom and increased immigration of people seeking better economic opportunities."

"This stage is also characterized by the rise of the educational, political, cultural, and social union, which joined the hundreds of young people.

Nigua

Nigua San Gregorio, Caribbean Sea coastal territory of the municipality headboard of the San Cristóbal province adopted by name Nigua the Indian word which was attributed to one of the rivers of the southern slopes of the Republic Dominica.

This area for its proximity to the city of Santo Domingo, capital of the republic, and by the dynamics of its development, has witnessed important historical events framed in different processes that have been triggered since the conquest and colonization of the island to the present.

the case of the Dominican Republic the term Nigua assumes at least four meanings: Bug that is inserted under the skin and nails of humans, causing intense burning or small fruit. River on the southern slope rises in the Cordillera Central of the site near the town of Banana in Cambita Garabitos and empties into the Caribbean Sea (and North River tributary of the Yuna watershed that runs through the town in the province of Duarte Castillo .)

In seeking to unravel the historical events in what is now Nigua, the researcher will be difficult, because since the sixteenth century to the first five years of the third decade of the nineteenth century was known by the name of the Party of Wits Nigua space southeast region including east-west between the rivers and Nizao Haina, bounded on the north by the Cordillera Central and south by the Caribbean Sea. So when any of the sources referred to Nigua, the event in question if it applies to that period may have occurred somewhere in San Cristobal province than the current territory of the San Gregorio de Nigua.

Nigua was inserted into the Universal History with the beginning of the colonial sugar industry was the economic activity around which legitimated slave relations of production from 1515, after the failure of Columbus factory followed by the decay of the parcels.

colonial sugar industry has been studied extensively by various national and foreign historians. Monitoring the works of it, in case the country and all America, was the Bachiller Gonzalo de Veloso, who was a encomendero and weighed the sugar industry could be successful, because in the years immediately following 1515 the European sugar prices had increased. So he ventured into an investment that included the import of experts (teachers) from the Canary Islands to devote to the task of producing sugar in the first mill that met the new world.

The horse mill Nigua installed at the time constituted the most modern industrial America, even for a short time, since the same Gonzalo Veloso, associated with the brothers Christopher and Francisco de Tapia built in La Jagua de Yaguate a hydraulic mill was later relocated on the banks of river Nigua after being sold that part of the brothers Velosa Tapia, Christopher sold his share to John Vitoria, who in turn sold, finally becoming the sole owner Francisco de Tapia.

The first mill installation was very timely, with the same socio-economic, political and demographic prevailing on the island found a way to solve.

The success of the mill of Velosa led the start of an accelerated process of industrialization that he gave an unprecedented dynamic ¨ the English colony, which would only be overcome after three decades of the nineteenth century. Conditions that a substantial change in the ethnic composition of the island was crystallized with the projection that the sugar industry reached thereafter with its ups and downs the industry has always been present in the country's productive apparatus.

The Indians, who at the Columbus factory and parcels had been serving the English, in search of gold and agricultural and domestic work and provided the first labor to the colonial sugar industry, the rigor thereof, were fragile before the increased exploitation in the mills and refineries, making imports necessary force work that could respond adequately to the demands of these industrial facilities.

The first cane were planted by Indians and in the actions of the first sugar mills and refineries of Indian labor force is predominantly attended. The generality of the characters in the English colonial bureaucracy that initial foray into the production of sugar were trustees. In the early years, the sugar industry was developed based on the work of the natives, but the rough task to which they were subjected were decimating them, replacing the final transit of the Indian labor force in extinction of the black African conditions of slavery was determined by the sugar industry. Before construction of the mill of Gonzalo de Velosa in Nigua, the country had been introduced by the English conquerors Ladino some black Africans as slaves engaged in domestic servitude or tasks. These, after being captured in Africa, had spent time in Europe and known habits and customs of the English.

Sample Velosa sugar sent to Spain, resulted in the authorities gave him facilities to the sugar, such as loan and the massive importation of African slaves constituted a decisive factor in the forming process of a syncretic culture in the country to the accelerated extinction of the Indians who had been subdued by the English conquerors living conditions so unbearable that precipitated his death.

Nigua, being one of the locations that had a higher incidence of colonial sugar industry, widely exhibited the main features of the African presence in our syncretic culture. Since the establishment of the San Gregorio mill, followed by the ingenuity Diego Caballero, the demographic weight of black African origin who occupied the position of slaves subjected to ruthless exploitation conditions began to define their superiority, with all the slaves imported cultural elements peculiar that, over time are an expression of the contribution of African culture to culture native Dominica.

Cambita is a derivative of Camba. Santa Lucia de Camba was the farm adjoining that occupied what is now Yaguate, Najayo and Dona Ana; Garabito is due to the first village of farmers that was formed with people of that name, from Santo Domingo, at the end of the seventeenth century, when activity was gone wit.

In 1992 the municipality of Monte plant becomes San Cristobal province and reduce their territorial remaining within it 8 municipalities: San Cristóbal (city head), Bajos de Haina, Cambita Garabito, The Cocoa, Sabana Grande de Palenque, San Gregorio de Nigua, Villa Altagracia and Yaguate.

Geographically the province is located south of the Dominican Republic, specifically in the region of Valdesia. It is the first province south of the country. Its northern border provinces and Monsignor Nouel Monte Plata (northeast) to the east with the province of Santo Domingo, on the south by the Caribbean Sea and west by the provinces Peravia and San José de Ocoa.

Foothills of the Cordillera Central are occupying much of the province, especially in the north and west. On the border with Monte Plata province is the Sierra de Yamasá. There are also other small elevations to the east and south (the Lomas de Duveaux, south of Yaguate). It has many microclimates, which favors agriculture.

The Municipality header, San Cristobal is located in a small valley at the foot of the mountains of the Cordillera Central, between the rivers Nigua and Nice.

COMPONENT POPULATION BY SEX, AGE AND NEIGHBORHOOD

In the Dominican Republic, as well as in several Latin American countries, has been developing a process of urbanization. The population went from a distribution of 83% rural and 17% urban in 1920 to be 36% rural and 64% urban in 2002.

country's average growth from 1920 to 2002 was a 2.7. It is important to note that the national growth rate has been decreasing since 1950 (3.61) to 2002 (1.78). Along with the decrease in the rate of population growth, there was a nationwide decline in total fertility rate (TFR). If children-s 3.0 per woman in 2000-2003 according to 2002 census to 2.4 children per woman-as in 2005-2007 as ENDESA 2007 (CESDEM, 2007). Internally

the province of San Cristobal, operated a population growth higher than the rest of the country. Although the rate of growth has slowed in the section 1981-2002, the growth rate has been higher than the national average. It is quite possible that the explanation for this phenomenon is due to net migration is positive in the province and one of the highest in the country.

From 1993 to 2002 the urban population grew at a rate of 3.3% and rural at a rate of 2.0%. From 1960 to 2002 this growth was 5.4% for the urban population and 1.8% for rural1 According to National Census of Population and Housing 2002 (CNP 2002, San Cristobal is the cuartaprovincia in population, with an approximate total of 532.880 people. This represents 6.22% of the Dominican population. San Cristobal is also one of the provinces with the highest percentage of rural population.

shows how the country has a tendency towards a relationship from 1964 to 1936 urban (urban-rural respectively). However, in San Cristobal province has a 51-49 ratio (urban- rural respectively), a different relationship to the country that deserves particular public policies. This relationship does not exist in all municipalities. In the municipality header (main purpose of this study) shows that the ratio is almost equal to that of the country: 62% urban and 38% rural.

Other municipalities in the province of San Cristobal (except Bajos de Haina) have a greater weight in relation to the rural than in urban areas, the most extreme case being the Municipal District Track (belonging to the village of Haina) , with 92.52% rural population. The Error! Can not find the source of reference.

shows the urban-rural relationship of the other municipalities in the province.

Before turning to the analysis of the situation to the internal population of the province, it is important to note variations in some vital statistics. Between 2001 and 2005, there was a reduction of births to 15.211 to 11.405. These data confirm the trend of reducing the birth rate in the province. In addition delnúmero birth, has significantly reduced the number of canonical marriages of 304 in 2001 to 67 in 2005 but have increased civil marriages in 2001 to 1.873 1.479 in 2005.

For 2007, the National Bureau of Statistics projected that the province of San Cristobal have 598.922 inhabitants, which means a growth rate from 2002 to 2007
of 2.36%. This projection confirms the reduction growth rate has been observed in recent years.

The population of the capital municipality of San Cristobal, which bears the same name, consists of 220.767 people, of which 109.186 are men, ie 49% and 111.581
women, 51%.

Table 1 shows the distribution of the population of the districts investigated according to the group by area for this study.
is evidence that more than 60% of the population of the municipality's urban area, is concentrated in five districts (New Town, North Old Mother, Mother Old South, Downtown and
basket).

1 Information obtained from Census 1960, 1970, 1983, 1993 and 2002


Education Areas with the highest illiteracy rates are 3, 4, 7 and 8. The illiteracy rate
observed in women is higher than that of men
.

In general, the highest level of study that reaches the population is the basic. In zones 1, 2 and 4 is greater than the number of people who only reach this level. Zone 6 is the one with higher levels of education in the degree achieved.

areas with fewer college students are 8 and 4 (they are also the poorest areas) with a rate of 6.49% and 8.62% respectively. From the gender perspective is a continued prevalence of women in all areas that are, in general, 57.30% of the university population. From

own survey, conducted in different areas, confirming the prevalence of public sector of education but with different weights.

For example, in zones 4, 7, 8 and 9 students who attend public schools exceeded 90%. Only in zones 2 and 6, we find values \u200b\u200bless than 80%. Semi-public schools represent the smallest sector of education regarding the number of students. Comprises only about 1%.
As for the quality of education, notes that the repetition rate of women is always lower than that of men.

In some areas the gap is larger, as in the case of zones 2, 4, 6, 8 and 9. In other areas the difference becomes smaller until the minimum point in Zone 4. The area has the highest repetition rate is 3.

In zones 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 repetition rate is lower than the national,
while in zones 3, 5, 7 and 9 as above but remains below average
municipal provincial. Zone 3 is the one with the lowest level of repetition
registered, 10.76%, which surpasses all other areas, placing
above average provincial.

Disaggregating the repetition rate by area and basic level, it appears that
most affected areas are the 3, 9, 5 and 7. All
exceed 11% of repeaters.

data from the survey we conducted for the purpose of this study
have to zone 5 with the highest repetition rate above 14%.
In zone 8 repeaters only report women. In the rest of the area
confirms the prevalence of male repetition. This
levels for primary, secondary and tertiary.

An interesting and difficult to interpret is the high number of students who left his career in zone 6 (15.68%), which until now was one of the areas that had had the best results with respect to education indicators compared to other areas.

The other areas are maintained between the 9.18 and 12.21%, with the exception of
zones 1 and 7 characterized by a dropout rate of 7.99 and 8.09%, respectively
.

The main flaw in the education sector in San Cristobal,
identified by the focus group, especially by media officials
public and private schools is the high dropout rate of students-as in age between 8
17.

The main reasons for dropout children and
adolescents in the municipality of San Cristobal, as counted-as-as
experts consulted-as they are related to economic factors.
hypothesis that survey data seem to confirm. Health



On the issue of reproductive health, 64.4% of those female respondents in February 2008, has ever been pregnant. 1.0% had no living children, and those who have been living children, the highest frequencies are those who have had 1, 2 and 3 children: 28.5, 25.6 and 24.4% respectively. The same research indicates that in the province of San Cristobal on 22.3% of women aged 15-19 have ever been pregnant or are already mothers, higher than the national average for that same age group, which is 20.6%.

According to the areas proposed for this study, it appears that there is some relationship between lower levels of poverty and greater possibility of children-as-as live-born ace. In three areas the highest frequency of live births is three: In zones 5, 6 and 8. The first two being those with lower levels of poverty throughout the municipality.

Zone 2 is more often the two children and the five remaining areas as often as a child is a born-to-live-a, among which are the four areas with higher rates of poverty and indigence : Zones 4, 8, 3 and 7.

As to diseases, la diarrea es uno de los principales flagelos
de salud que experimenta la población infantil menor de 5 años en República Dominicana.

Turning to review the general accounts of the health sector, we need the
hospitals belonging to the Ministry of Public Health and Welfare (SESPAS) involving a total of 255.944 in 2007 for consultations throughout the province of San Cristobal This figure equates to 0.48 visits per person. As for emergencies, SESPAS hospitals in the province registered a total of 292.657 in 2007 (123.130 in the Juan Pablo Pina Hospital), an increase of 18.821 over 2006.

The number of beds available to the SESPAS for 2007 was 347, a slight decrease
to 350 in 2006. The 55.61% (193) of all hospital beds for the Juan Pablo Pina Hospital. This means that in the province of San Cristobal has a bed for every 1,535.68 inhabitants / as.

This survey was that the number of beds available is equivalent to 363, 56 clinics, 14 dental units, 4 laboratories, and blood banks
2. Precisely the lack of blood banks is a major complaint
from the standpoint of equipment, the
health centers in San Cristobal.

These five health centers have a total of 135 doctors, of whom 102 are specialists. The bioanalysts are 18, all graduates. Have 7 technicians in radiology and RX, a dental staff of 18 people, including 12 graduates and 6 assistants, one person in Environmental Health (Another of the frequent complaints among medical staff of the municipality, the health problems associated with poor environmental quality), a pharmacy staff of 9 persons, 6 Mental Health (all graduates), and 67 nurses (29 graduates and 38 assistants).

A 30.4% of those who were consulted on whether they had medical insurance in the municipality
yes (26.5% nationally in the ENDESA 2007), while 69.6% responded negatively. Among those who have health insurance, the most popular are those of the Dominican Social Security Institute (IDSS), the National Health Insurance (SENASA) and private insurance. The provision of National Health Insurance is still insufficient. The poorest areas, including 4 and 8, are at the greatest number of beneficiaries in insurance. Have these areas over 67% of people without insurance, leading to extreme cases such as Zone 7, with a 78.2% uninsured.

In zones 7 and 3, including the five classified as poor, the
percentage of people with insurance is around 20%. In zone 4,
the poorest, is less than 30%, while in other areas remains
between 30 and 33%.

The only exception is the center of the city (zone 6) in which 37.42% of residents-as-as have some type health insurance.

The 79.7% of the responses received indicate that in case of illness and need medical care, people in the first instance
attend a public hospital, while 18.3% would do to a private clinic.

Other indications cited were the preferred home remedies (8.93%), no drugs (5.36%), and no nearby health services, no health insurance and other reasons, each with 3.57%. Disease and recurrent health problems to have attended a health facility were: hypertension, diabetes, respiratory distress / asthma, tonsillitis / bronchitis, pneumonia / broncho, severe diarrhea, hepatitis / pancreatitis / gastritis /, infections, arthritis / rheumatism and febrile illness.

who made some disease or health consultation for the last time
were hospitalized in 22.3% of cases. Those who do consult a doctor, a health establishment or drugs they were prescribed in 79.16% of cases. The most frequent place for obtaining prescription drugs was the private pharmacy, a 56.07% of cases, follows the public pharmacy, with 24.30% and where the patient was treated with 17.76%.

In most of the nine areas it was the common pattern, except
zone 2, where there was a slight tendency to get drugs in public pharmacies were an important source of medicines. Also in zones 8 and 7, respectively, 42.86% and 37.50% of cases. Who took

their children to a hospital, clinic or other health
