Resumen
En el siguiente documento se desarrolla un análisis etnográfico de información recolectada de las áreas biológicas, físicas y sociales relacionadas con personas de edad avanzada en la Zona Azul costarricense ubicada en la Península de Nicoya, y que comprende los cantones de Nicoya, Santa Cruz, Hojancha, Nandayure y Carrillo. La recolección de datos se lleva a cabo por medio de una entrevista semiestructurada en la que se combinan técnicas cualitativas de etnografía y recolección de información cuantitativa básica sobre redes de apoyo social. También se recolectan datos puntuales de ruido, humedad relativa, temperatura, luminosidad y CO, de las localidades para comprender el contexto físico de las personas longevas y sus redes de apoyo. Una vez recolectados los datos, se sistematiza la información, se determinan sub-dimensiones básicas que señalan los indicadores de ruta que llevan a identificar las dimensiones de Sentidos e Imaginación, Emociones, Afiliación, Vida salud e Integridad Corporal y Control del Entorno, las cuales develan el modelo de capacidades de esta franja de longevidad.
