Comparative strategic analysis of the development poles for wellbeing in San Blas Atempa and Ciudad Ixtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico

This article performs a comparative analysis between two key municipalities in the implementation of the Poles of Development for Well-Being [PODEBIS] within the framework of the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec [CIIT]: San Blas Atempa and Ciudad Ixtepec, both in the state of Oaxaca. Through EFEM and EFIM matrices, as well as a SWOT approach, the local capacities, risks and strategic opportunities of each territory are evaluated. The results show important contrasts in infrastructure, human capital and social vulnerabilities, but also common areas that must be strengthened to achieve sustainable territorial development.
