Moca

Moca, Puerto Rico

El municipio de Moca fue fundado en 1772. Es conocido como la “Capital del Mundillo” y como el pueblo de “Los Vampiros”. Su patrona es Nuestra Señora de la Monserrate. Su extensión territorial es de 51 millas cuadradas (82 km) y su población es de 39,697 habitantes (Censo 2000). El territorio está organizado en los barrios: Aceitunas, Capá, Centro, Cerro Gordo, Cruz, Cuchillas, Marías, Naranjo, Plata, Pueblo Zona Rural, Pueblo Zona Urbana, Rocha y Voladoras.

Moca es productor de frutos menores entre los que se encuentran el plátano, el guineo, los gandules, la yautía, el ñame, la calabaza, la yuca, las habichuelas, el café y la china. Además, posee fábricas de: donas, maní, dulces típicos, pasteles, chicharrones, equipos de oficina y brazo gitano.
Este municipio es reconocido por la elaboración del mundillo, tipo de encaje hecho con bolillos.

Geografía

Moca limita al este con el municipio de San Sebastián; al oeste con Aguada; al norte con Isabela y Aguadilla y al sur colinda con Añasco. Geográficamente, pertenece a la subregión denominada Valles Costeros del Oeste. Dicha zona se caracteriza por sus suelos aluviales, muy fértiles, donde las lluvias son abundantes de mayo a noviembre y la sequía predomina de diciembre a marzo.

En general, el relieve de este municipio es llano, no presenta elevaciones notables. La zona norte de Moca se encuentra dentro de la zona cárstica, donde se eleva la cordillera Jaicoa. En ésta, están ubicados el monte El Ojo de 296 metros (971.1 pies), el cerro Moca de 290 metros (951.4 pies) y el monte Mariquilla de 286 metros (938.3 pies) de altura sobre el nivel del mar. Hacia el sur, se eleva otro grupo montañoso menor llamado la cadena de San Francisco, la cual separa a este municipio de Añasco. En dicha cadena se destaca el cerro Pichón.

Su sistema hidrográfico está compuesto por el río Culebrinas, que cruza su territorio por el centro, de este a oeste, regando las fértiles llanuras de Moca; éste tiene como afluentes las quebradas: Las Gatas, Lassalle, Las Damas, Viejo, Los Romanes, Los Morones, Higuillo, Chiquita, Yagruma, Echeverría, Aguas Frías, Las Marías, Los Méndez, La Caraíma, Grande y Dulce. Moca posee un sinnúmero de cuevas, las cuales están ubicadas en los barrios Centro, Aceitunas, Cuchillas y Rocha y en la región de la Cordillera Jaicoa.

Además es importante mencionar algunos detalles sobre el árbol de Moca, ya que éste es de suma importancia para dicho municipio. Pertenece a la gran familia botánica de las leguminosas y florece durante los meses de abril a agosto. El tronco alcanza normalmente la altura de 20 a 50 pies, de la corteza se obtiene una resina amarillenta conocida como andirina, que tiene propiedades medicinales tales como laxante. La madera de Moca es dura, pesada y fuerte. Su gran resistencia la convierte en materia ideal para la carpintería y la ebanistería.

El nombre de este municipio proviene de la palabra de origen taíno que denomina al árbol de moca, muy común en esta región.

El pueblo fue fundado en 1772 por José de Quiñones quien se presentó ese año ante el gobernador Miguel de Muesas, con un poder de 71 vecinos, solicitando permiso para fundar el pueblo y la iglesia. En el 1775, se inauguró la parroquia en el centro del pueblo al erigir una modesta casa de madera techada de paja y bautizarla con el nombre de la Santa Patrona de la Monserrate y el co-patrón Juan Nepomuceno. La iglesia se convirtió en el lugar de reunión de los campesinos de la región. En 1841 algunos vecinos donaron tierras e hicieron aportaciones monetarias para construir un nuevo edificio para la iglesia frente a la loma donde se estableció el pueblo, el cual se terminó el 1851.

En 1797, durante el ataque inglés, el cura párroco de dicho municipio junto a 200 mocanos acudió en defensa de Aguadilla, pueblo del que Moca dependía jurisdiccionalmente en el aspecto judicial y militar hasta el 1878. Para el año 1898, el municipio estaba organizado en los barrios: Cuchillas, Rocha, Aceitunas, Centro, Capá, Voladoras, Plata, Cruz, Marías, Naranjo y Cerro Gordo.

Desde sus comienzos, en Moca se desarrollaron centros de enseñanza privados y públicos. Aunque el desarrollo de escuelas fue notorio desde el siglo XIX, el desarrollo de las obras públicas del municipio fue lento. No es si no hasta el 1928 que se inaugura el sistema eléctrico en el lugar.

El 19 de febrero de 1972 se adoptó, oficialmente, el árbol de moca como árbol representativo del pueblo. Un número considerable de mocanos se ha destacado en las letras, la educación y la política. Moca es productor de frutos menores entre los que se encuentran: el plátano, el guineo, los gandules, la yautía, el ñame, la calabaza, la yuca, las habichuelas, el café y la china. Además, posee fábricas: de donas, maní, dulces típicos, pasteles, chicharrones, equipos de oficina y brazo gitano.

Este municipio es reconocido por la elaboración del mundillo, tipo de encaje hecho con bolillos.

Símbolos

Bandera

El diseño y preparación de la bandera de Moca lo realizó Augusto Hernández. Tiene un triángulo equilátero color púrpura, el color de la flor de Moca, con estrellas plateadas de cinco puntas que giran uniformemente alrededor de una estrella mayor dorada, también de cinco puntas. Sobre dicho triángulo se levanta otro triángulo dorado. Ambos señalan el horizonte del campo superior azul y el campo inferior verde de la bandera. El triángulo púrpura, representa el campo florecido del árbol de Moca. La estrella dorada representa el pueblo de Moca y las once estrellas doradas, los barrios, cuyo orden se inicia con la estrella que está directamente sobre la estrella dorada. El campo azul alude al cielo y simboliza paz y libertad. El campo verde representa el suelo o tierra mocana, además, es símbolo de fertilidad e inmortalidad.

Escudo
El diseño del escudo fue preparado por el mismo pintor mocano que diseñó el escudo. Está dividido en campo plateado y cielo azul, unidos por un losange púrpura, el color de la flor de Moca. El losange está cargado de simbolismos religiosos; éste se encuentra rodeado por dos hojas de ramos frondosos del árbol de Moca y, en su parte superior, por un arco de once estrellas plateadas de cinco puntas. Dentro de éste, hay un monograma dorado de la Virgen María, superado por corona cristiana del mismo metal. El campo plateado o blanco significa pureza y modestia. El campo azul, que representa el cielo mocano, es símbolo de paz y libertad. La corona es la de Virgen María de la Monserrate. A su vez, todos estos simbolismos son representativos de la Virgen de la Monserrate, bajo cuya advocación fue fundado el pueblo de Moca, conjuntamente con San Juan Nepomuceno. Las hojas verdes y los ramos (fertilidad e inmortalidad) son representativos del árbol de Moca, su árbol oficial.

Wikipedia

Moka

Moka or Moka Express , geyser – a type of coffee maker based on the principle of making coffee under steam pressure.

“Moka” is most widely used in Europe, especially in its homeland, Italy, where it is a national symbol. Moka coffee makers come in different sizes, from one to eighteen 50 ml cups. The original Moka is made of aluminum with Bakelite handles.

Moka (district)

Moka is a district of Mauritius, located in the center of the island of Mauritius. As of the 2010 census, the population is 81,288 people, the area covers an area of ​​230.5 km², the population density is 352.66 people / km². The famous Mahatma Gandhi College is located here.

Moca (city)

Moca is a city and municipality in the Dominican Republic, the capital of the province of Espaillat. It borders the municipalities of San Victor and Hamão al Norte to the north and northwest, Gaspar Hernández to the east, Cayetano Hermocena to the southeast, and the provinces of Santiago to the west, La Vega to the south and Hermanas -Mirabal in the east. Moca is located 145 km from the country’s capital, Santo Domingo, and 18 km from the country’s second largest city, Santiago de los Caballeros.

The city is a well-known center of agricultural production. Banana and yucca are the main crops around Moka.

Moka also received the nickname “Villas of Heroes”, which is associated with the role of local people and residents in the overthrow of the Dominican dictators at various times: Ulisses Herault in 1899 and Rafael Trujillo in 1961. The latter had his own house in Moca, close to her main attraction: the church of Corazon Sagrado Jesús.

Moka (disambiguation)

Moka ( Eng. Moka; Italian Moka; Spanish Moca ) is an ambiguous term.

  • Moka is a type of coffee maker based on the principle of making coffee with steam pressure.
  • Moca is a city and municipality in the Dominican Republic, the capital of the province of Espaillat.
  • Moka is a district of Mauritius located in the center of the island of Mauritius.
Examples of the use of the word moka in the literature.

Mom carefully studied Mok’s face for a minute, as if assessing the person standing in front of her.

She tried to portray Mok Berry as a governor giving orders to civilian troops.

Alvin knew what gossip they were talking about – they say that Arthur Stewart was actually the son of Mok’s wife, whose name was Anga.

Arthur Stewart, unable to see the road, howled in protest and gave Mock Berry a look that would have incinerated him on the spot, had he not been soaked through and through with cold.

Vandervoort slowly, very slowly turned around and stared impassively at Mock Berry.

It was pointless to protest against injustice, but at least Alvin could do for Mok what Horace Hester had once done for him – he could force Vandervoort to face the truth.

Returning to the hotel, they again met Mock Berry and dropped him off at home.

Perhaps Mok Berry was simply ashamed that some eighteen-year-old apprentice stood up for him and forced Vandervoort to name a fair price.

However, there was nowhere to go: he had to pump up Mok well in order to get all the necessary information about the Jedds and what was happening in the capital.

No one from the locals, according to Mok, will dare to approach the man in yellow, even if he begs for help, so great is the horror of the plague.

Consciousness left Mok, but he was able to move his arm a little, and Blade saw a terrible knife wound on his forearm.

Mok’s corpse sealed the opening securely, both of his fighters had pikes stained with blood, not a single monkey face stuck out of the windows.

In a matter of seconds, the gobuins cut Mok’s corpse into pieces and began to drag it out.

Its famous relative, the famous robber of the seas and oceans – an ordinary shark, or mokoyu – the herring shark is inferior only in size and strength.

Infrastructure access assessment | Learn ArcGIS

The United Nations considers access from rural roads to all-weather roads an indicator of infrastructure resilience, one of its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Without access to roads, the economic development of territories can stagnate.

In this lesson, you will act as an analyst at the National Statistical Office of Japan. In order to promote the sustainable development of the country’s rural areas, access to all-season roads must be assessed. First, you’ll add population and road data, and restrict your study area to rural areas. You will then create a 2 km buffer around all-weather roads and calculate the percentage of the rural population in this buffer area.

This lesson was last tested on May 31, 2022 using ArcGIS Pro 3.0. If you have a different version of ArcGIS Pro, results and functionality may vary

Determine the percentage of the rural population living within 2 kilometers of roads.

    30 minutes

To avoid analyzing rural areas throughout Japan, you will limit your study area to Shikoku, the smallest of Japan’s four main islands. First, you’ll add Metropolitan Employment Area (MEA) data to a new project in ArcGIS Pro. MEAs are municipalities with a population of at least 50,000 in the city itself and at least 10,000 in the suburbs. For analysis, you will define rural areas as municipalities that are not MEAs (i.e., their population is below the minimum value). You will then extract rural data from this set. Then add population data.

Adding municipality boundary data

In Japan, the distinction between rural and urban populations is based mainly on employment and the ability to commute to work in the city center. First, you’ll add a layer containing all of Japan’s MEAs.

The definition of urban and rural areas varies by country. The difference may be determined by population density, land use, distance between developments, or other factors.

  1. Start ArcGIS Pro. If prompted, sign in with a licensed ArcGIS or ArcGIS Enterprise portal account using a named user account.
  2. Under New Project, click Map.

  3. In the Create New Project window, for Name, enter SDG_Japan. Click OK.

    ArcGIS Pro opens a project with a blank map. Depending on your organization’s settings, the default extent may vary. First, you need to change the basemap so that your data stands out well on it.

  4. On the ribbon, click the Map tab. In the Layer group, click Basemap and then Light Gray Canvas.
  5. On the ribbon, on the Map tab, in the Layer group, click Add Data.
  6. In the Portal section, click ArcGIS Online. In the search box, type Metropolitan Employment Areas owner:Learn_ArcGIS and click Enter.

  7. Click the Metropolitan Employment Areas layer and click OK.
  8. In the Contents pane, right-click the Map and select Properties.
  9. In the Map Properties window, click the Coordinate Systems tab.
  10. In the search bar, type Equal Earth and press Enter.
  11. In the Available XY Coordinate Systems list, click the Projection Coordinate System list arrow to expand it. Expand World. Click Equal Earth (world) Asia-Pacific.

  12. Press OK.

Data filter

Now we need to filter the data. First, you’ll create a definition query to show only the municipalities in Shikoku. You will then select the rural municipalities of Shikoku based on their MEA status and export them to a new feature class.

  1. In the Contents pane, double-click MetropolitanEmploymentAreas. In the Layer Properties window that appears, click the Definition Query tab.

    A definition query only displays features with certain attributes. Specifically, your definition query will display the municipalities in the four provinces of Shikoku: Ehime, Kagawa, Kochi, and Tokushima.

  2. Click New Definition Query.
  3. For Definition Query 1, use the menu items to build the expression Where PNAME includes the values ​​Ehime,Kagawa,Kochi,Tokushima.

  4. Click Apply. Click OK.

    The filter is applied to display only municipalities in Shikoku.

  5. Zoom in on Shikoku Island.
  6. On the ribbon, on the Map tab, in the Selection group, click Select by Attribute.
  7. In the Select by Attribute window, specify the following options:
  8. Click the Validate SQL Expression icon.
  9. Click OK.
  10. On the ribbon, click the Analyze tab, and in the Geoprocessing group, click Tools.

  11. In the Geoprocessing pane, in the search bar, type copy features and click the Copy Features tool in the list of results.
  12. For input features, select MetropolitanEmploymentAreas. For Output Feature Class, enter Shikoku_Rural.

  13. Click Run.

    The copied layer is added to the map. You no longer need the original feature layer showing all the municipalities, so you can delete it.

  14. In the Contents pane, right-click MetropolitanEmploymentAreas and select Delete.
  15. On the Quick Access Toolbar, click the Save button.

Add population data

Now that you have found all the rural municipalities in the Shikoku region of Japan, you will add the population data that you will need to calculate the percentage of population within 2 kilometers of all-season roads.

In Japan, population estimates are collected at the cho-cho-moku level. Cho-cho-moku are small administrative regions within municipalities. First, you’ll add a layer of all the cho-cho-moku in Shikoku. You will then cut the layer so that it contains only the cho-cho-moku in rural municipalities.

  1. On the ribbon, on the Map tab, in the Layer group, click Add Data.
  2. In the Add Data window, optionally click ArcGIS Online. Find Shikoku Cho-cho-moku owner:Learn_ArcGIS.

  3. Select the Shikoku Cho-cho-moku layer and click OK.
  4. In the Geoprocessing pane, click the Back button.
  5. Find and open the Cut tool.

  6. For the Cut tool, enter the following options:
  7. Click Run.

    The tool starts. After a few seconds, a new layer will be added to the map. You can’t currently see the new layer because the original cho-cho-moku dataset obscures it.

  8. In the Contents pane, right-click the Shikoku Cho-cho-moku layer and choose Delete.
  9. Save the project.

You have added municipalities across the country to the new map. You built a query to restrict this data to Shikoku and created a new dataset containing only rural municipalities. You then added the population estimate data and clipped it to the rural municipalities. Your map now only contains data for the study area.

Next, you will use this data to calculate the percentage of the rural population within 2 kilometers of an all-season road.


Previously, you added and filtered municipalities and demographics on the map. Next, you’ll add all-season road data. You will then create a 2 km buffer around the roads and calculate the percentage of the rural population in that buffer area. Your result will give you an idea of ​​how well the Shikoku region is meeting SDG Indicator 9 sustainability indicators.1.1 United Nations.

Buffering road data

First, you will add all-season road data to the map. An all-weather road, according to metadata for Indicator 9.1.1, is “a road that is suitable for the prevailing means of rural transport (often a pickup truck or truck that does not have four-wheel drive) all year round.

For the Shikoku region, the road system for emergency transport is the best fit for all-weather road requirements. You will add this data to the map and create a 2 km buffer along the roads.

  1. If necessary, open your SDG_Japan project in ArcGIS Pro.

    You will add emergency road data from ArcGIS Online. This dataset was provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation and Tourism of Japan and contains quantitative information on various aspects of transport and land use.

  2. On the ribbon, click the Map tab. In the Layer group, click the Add Data button.
  3. In the Add Data window that opens, click ArcGIS Online and find All-Season Emergency Roads owner: Learn_ArcGIS.
  4. In the list of results, select the All-Season Emergency Roads layer and click OK.
  5. Click the Analysis tab on the ribbon. In the Geoprocessing group, click Tools.
  6. In the Geoprocessing pane, locate and open the Buffer tool.

  7. On the Buffer toolbar, change the following options (do not run the tool yet):
  8. For Merge Type, select Merge all output features into one feature.

  9. Click Start.
  10. In the Geoprocessing pane, click the Back button. Find and open the Cut tool.
  11. On the Cut toolbar, enter the following options:
  12. Click Run.

    The layer will be added to the map.

  13. In the Contents pane, turn off the All-Season Emergency Roads, All_Season_2km_Buffer, Shikoku_Rural_Population, and Shikoku_Rural layers.

Estimate of population by district

Unlike when you clipped the cho-cho-moku layer to the layer of municipalities, the boundaries of the cho-cho-moku do not coincide with the boundaries of the buffer. Because of this, only parts of many cho-cho-moku are represented in the cut layer.

It would be incorrect to use the total population of the Cho-Cho-Moku for your estimates if only part of the Cho-Cho-Moku is near roads. To account for this problem, you will calculate the population of each cho-cho-moku in proportion to its area within the buffer.

  1. In the Contents pane, right-click the Shikoku_Rural_Population layer and select Attribute Table.
  2. Open the attribute table for Rural_2km_Buffer and look at the Shape_Area value for ObjectID 1.
  3. In the Attribute Table for Rural_2km_Buffer, click the Add Field button.
  4. In the new row, in the Field Name column, enter Area_Proportion. For Alias, enter Percent Area in Buffer. For Data Type, choose Double Precision.

  5. Click below the new field to add another new field. Specify the following parameters for the field:
  6. In the Shape_Area field, double-click the Alias ​​cell and type Clip Area.

  7. On the ribbon, on the Fields tab, in the Edit group, click Save.

  8. In the Geoprocessing pane, locate and open the Field Join tool.
  9. In the Connection field toolbar, set the following options:
  10. Click Run.
  11. Open the attribute table for Rural_2km_Buffer and scroll to the right.
  12. Right-click the Shape_Area field and select Fields to open the field view.
  13. Double-click the Alias ​​cell for Shape_Area_1 and rename it Cho-cho-moku area.
  14. Close field view. If you are prompted to save your changes, click Yes.
  15. In the attribute table for Rural_2km_Buffer, right-click the Percent Area in Buffer field heading and select Calculate Field.
  16. In the tool options, for Expression, in the Fields list, double-click Clip Area.
  17. Click the division symbol and double-click the Cho-cho-moku Area.
  18. Click OK.

    The Percent Area in Buffer field now displays the proportion of each cho-cho-moku in a 2 km buffer, expressed as a ratio to the area of ​​the whole cho-cho-moku. Using these values, you will estimate the population of each cho-cho-moku that is in the buffer by multiplying the Percent Area in Buffer by the total population (2015 Total Population).

  19. In the attribute table for Rural_2km_Buffer, right-click the heading of the Population in Buffer field and choose Calculate Field.
  20. In the Calculate Field tool, delete the existing expression.
  21. In the Fields column, double-click Buffer Area Percentage, click the multiplication sign, and double-click 2015 Total Population.
  22. Click OK.

    The Population in Buffer field will be calculated. The result is the approximate population of each cho-cho-moku that is within a 2 km buffer.

Find the total population.

You have estimated the population of each cho-cho-moku that lives in the buffer. Next, you sum these values ​​to find the total population. You will then compare this value with the total rural population in Shikoku to estimate the percentage of the population that has access to all-season roads.

  1. In the attribute table, right-click the ObjectID header and select Summarize.
  2. In the Summary Statistics tool, enter the following parameters:
  3. Press OK.

    The tool runs and the Shikoku_Rural_Access table is added to the Contents pane, in the Standalone Tables section.

  4. Close the Rural_2km_Buffer attribute table.

    Before opening the made table, run the Summary Statistics tool again. You will now calculate the total rural population in Shikoku using the Shikoku_Rural_Population layer.

  5. Open the Geoprocessing panel and locate and open the Summary Statistics tool.
  6. In the Summary Statistics tool, change the following settings:
  7. Click Run.

    The Total_Rural_Population table is added to the Contents pane. Next, you’ll compare the totals in the two tables.

  8. In the Contents pane, right-click Shikoku_Rural_Access and choose Open.

    There are three fields in the table. The SUM_Pop_Proportion field contains the value 736316. This value represents the approximate rural population living within 2 km of an all-season road in the Shikoku region. You will copy this value to compare it with the total rural population.

  9. Double-click the SUM_Pop_Proportion value to edit it, and press Ctrl+C to copy it.

  10. In the Contents pane, right-click the Total_Rural_Population table and choose Open.

    In this table, field SUM_D0001 shows the total rural population in Shikoku: 872,986. You’ll create a new field and calculate the percentage of the population with year-round road access.

In this lesson, you added year-round road data and performed a proximity analysis by creating a 2 km buffer around the roads. You then calculated the population of each cho-cho-moku that was buffered. You then determined the percentage of the population that lives within 2 kilometers of an all-season road as a percentage of the total rural population. Using the PivotTables you created, you can now report on the SDG Indicator 9.1.1 regarding the Shikoku region of Japan.

This workflow can be used to report SDG Indicator 9.1.1 in other regions or countries. The spatial analysis techniques you have learned can also be used to understand other key demographics.
