"Molecular clouds are the sites were stars are born and they play a crucial role in\r\ngalactic evolution. Despite their main role on star formation and galaxy evolution,\r\nphysics of molecular clouds are still poorly understood. Particularly, the processes\r\ncontrolling the formation, structure, and evolution of molecular clouds are still a\r\nmatter of debate and so are the processes that regulate their star–forming activity.\r\nPrevious to the beginning of this thesis, observational studies of molecular\r\ncloud structure and accurate measurements of star–forming activity in molecular\r\nclouds existed only for the Solar neighborhood, proving a very limited range of\r\nGalactic environments. Extending these studies to larger distances is crucial. This\r\nthesis is dedicated to provide the observational assets needed to obtain a Galactic\r\npicture of the processes involved in the molecular cloud structure and star–\r\nformation. We present the first systematic study of molecular cloud structure and\r\nevolution including molecular clouds in nearby spiral arms. We present a census of filamentary–shaped molecular clouds that are thought to be connected to the\r\nspiral Galactic structure. Finally, we also develop a new technique that improves\r\nthe quality of the existing observational data to obtain more accurate observational\r\nassets, crucial in the study of molecular cloud structure."^^ .
