Themethodology is divided into three phases. The first part is the theoretical framework whichaddresses issues related to the topic. In the second stage, we introduce the case study, which isapplied to the third step of the first phase of SICOGEA. Although this step is performed a semistructuredinterview based on a checklist adapted to the activity.
