Sumario: This article summarizes the finding and conclusions of an investigation about the Economic geography of tertiary sector for the economic basis enforcement of the Region of Nariño, Colombia, in the Globalization. Our work has two main aims: The first is to undertake this work to provide a better understanding of how urban functions —urban tertiary sector— act to mould the territory from cities in the globalization. The second is to provide a better illustration of the relation between urban population size and urban functions for formulation of the policies and strategies in the regional planning. For these proposals we develop the follow analysis: Census data of urban populations and number of urban functions of nine mayor cities and all towns Nariño region, covering a 20-year period from 1989 to 2009, are processed on the Matrix of Scarcity to obtain the actual geography of tertiary sector. The Matrix of Scarcity is constructed with three hundred columns for the urban functions —services— and sixty two rows for the municipal centers of Nariño Department. Thus, has been identified a lineal correlation and regression between population size (X) and urban functional size (Y) of Nariño cities and towns to estimate the urban "tertiary" functions for regional development in the globalization.
