Ítem Análisis de los impactos territoriales en la población de recicladores de oficio provocados por la reubicación de estaciones de clasificación y aprovechamiento ubicadas en la localidad de Bosa(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Prada Silva, Juan Sebastián; Sánchez López, María Alejandra; Verano Coy, UrielThis undergraduate thesis analyzes the territorial impacts generated by the relocation of the Classification and Recovery Stations (ECAs) in the locality of Bosa, Bogotá, with an emphasis on the social, economic, and environmental consequences that this decision has brought for the population of informal recyclers. As a result of the implementation of the new Land Use Plan “Bogotá Reverdece 2022–2035”, many ECAs lost compatibility with the newly defined land-use regulations, forcing them to cease operations or move to new areas that meet technical and regulatory requirements. Through a mixed methodology that included documentary review, regulatory analysis, the application of 85 surveys to recyclers, and interviews with institutional actors such as the Unidad Administrativa Especial de Servicios Públicos (UAESP), it was found that the relocation has generated a series of substantial impacts: loss of employment, increased transportation costs, decreased household income, and the weakening of the recyclers’ organizational networks. In addition, persistent issues such as informality, low participation in decision-making processes, and limited state presence during the transition were identified. The results also show that, although there are regulatory efforts by the district and national governments to manage the relocation—such as Decrees 203 of 2022 and 1381 of 2024—these measures have not been sufficient to mitigate the negative impacts on a population that has historically been marginalized from the formal waste management system. Finally, the study proposes comprehensive alternatives for impact mitigation, including the creation of dialogue spaces between recyclers and public entities, social inclusion strategies with a gender perspective, strengthening of the organizational capacities of the ECAs, and improvements in formalization processes. It concludes that urban sustainability cannot be separated from social justice, and that any transformation in waste management infrastructure must take into account the territorial and human context that gives it life.Ítem Determinación del modelo productivo del dulce tradicional por las mujeres palenqueras, como aporte al desarrollo local sostenible en San Basilio de Palenque(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Velasco Ochoa, Ingrid Daniela; Riaño Rodríguez, Alisson Yuliana; García Valbuena, Cesar AugustoThis work analyzes the productive model of traditional sweets made by Palenquera women in San Basilio de Palenque, located in the department of Bolívar, Caribbean region of Colombia. As a contribution to sustainable local development, culinary practices, production processes, marketing and forms of community organization that make up a significant production chain are studied. The research contemplates the historical-cultural analysis of the trade, the characterization of each stage of the production process and the evaluation of its socioeconomic, cultural and tourist impacts. The role of the ASOPRADUSE Association as an organizational reference is highlighted, and a governance strategy is proposed that articulates local knowledge, economic sustainability and heritage recognition.Ítem Análisis multitemporal de la reducción del Humedal Juan Amarillo - Tibabuyes mediante la utilización de la metodología Fuerza Motriz Presión Estado Impacto Respuesta (FMPEIR)(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Sandoval Aldana, Angie Paola; Segura Aguilar, César Daniel; Tristancho Mariño, Laura Gabriela; García Valbuena, César Augusto; García Valbuena, César Augusto [0000-0002-5899-4955]This study investigates the impact of urbanization on the Juan Amarillo–Tibabuyes wetland, located in Bogotá, Colombia, over the period 1955–2024. The research aimed to analyze the interactions between urban growth and the wetland in order to provide insights for conservation policies and to promote sustainable urban development in the region. To achieve this, the Driving Force Pressure State Impact Response (DPSIR) framework was applied, enabling the identification of key indicators that capture the pressures exerted on the ecosystem, including population dynamics, urban densification, and land-cover change. A multitemporal analysis was conducted to characterize the functional state of the wetland, revealing a progressive decline in its ecological functions. Furthermore, the study examined the environmental impacts and the responses undertaken by public authorities and local communities, offering an integrated perspective on the wetland’s reduction process. The findings underscore the need to strengthen restoration strategies, land use planning, and community participation to safeguard the ecological integrity of the Juan Amarillo–Tibabuyes wetland.Ítem Propuesta para realizar el tránsito de la fabricación de carbón de ASOPROCAME a procesos productivos sostenibles en la gestión de residuos de madera del sector Brisas del Guatiquía en Villavicencio, Meta, 2024 – 2030(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Niño Bustos , Juan David; Aguillón Huérfano, Ronald Ferney; García Valbuena , Cesar Augusto; García Valbuena, Cesar Augusto [0000-0002-5899-4955]The municipality of Villavicencio, in the department of Meta, covers an area of 131,126 hectares, divided into 10 urban districts (comunas) and 7 rural districts (corregimientos). Comuna 2 faces several issues that generate environmental impacts, including charcoal production, recycling of recoverable waste, tire incineration, and the burning of hazardous waste. These activities take place in neighborhoods such as Brisas del Guatiquía, El Industrial, La Lambada, and Jordán Alto. Charcoal production has been one of the main concerns for both the residents living near Brisas del Guatiquía and the environmental authorities. This activity involves the collection and transformation of plant material, as well as the emission of smoke and gases harmful to both health and the environment. The production of charcoal began in the 1970s in the Brisas del Guatiquía neighborhood, when informal community settlements were established along the river of the same name. In this context, a group of 15 women heads of household decided to create the Association of Charcoal Producers (ASOPROCAME) with the aim of generating economic resources to meet their basic needs. Over time, ASOPROCAME has become one of the main references in charcoal production in the municipality of Villavicencio. To address these problems and propose a solution that generates value-added products within the framework of the circular economy, a project has been designed to promote sustainable production processes. Its objective is to ensure economic income without harming the environment in the sector of El Jordán, particularly in the Brisas del Guatiquía neighborhood, in Villavicencio, Meta.Ítem Diseño de un sistema agroforestal bajo criterios de agricultura regenerativa en cultivos de cacao, como estrategia para impulsar el desarrollo local sostenible en la finca San Antonio, de la vereda Moral y Loma Alta, municipio de Pauna, Boyacá.(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Baldion Angulo, Laura Noelia; Sandoval Salinas, Michael Oswaldo; García Valbuena, César AugustoCurrently, the need to implement activities in production systems that have a lower impact on ecosystems has become more pressing. Therefore, practices such as the intensive use of agrochemicals, intensive soil mechanization, and inadequate waste management are not viable for this purpose. Thus, regenerative agriculture encompasses all practices that promote the proper use of natural resources, as well as the promotion of philosophies surrounding the well-being of producers. For this reason, the implementation of this form of production is sought with the goal of maintaining environmental sustainability, financial viability, technical feasibility, and social acceptability, resulting in the local development of a particular territory. Likewise, agroforestry systems are one of the practices studied in regenerative agriculture, which seeks symbiosis between different species, whether animal or plant, achieving a common benefit and increasing the yields of the production system. This thesis was conducted to develop a design proposal for an agroforestry system, taking into account regenerative agriculture criteria, on the San Antonio cocoa farm, located in the Moral and Loma Alta neighborhoods of the municipality of Pauna, Boyacá. The project seeks to strengthen cocoa cultivation as a strategy to promote sustainable local development for local producers. To develop the proposal, a diagnosis of the biotic, abiotic, and socioeconomic environments of the San Antonio cocoa farm was conducted through field assessments of the area and the collection of secondary data. Following this, and based on the information collected, an agroforestry system was designed using regenerative agriculture criteria for cocoa crops in the study area, tailored to the specific conditions of the area. Finally, the environmental sustainability, financial viability, technical feasibility, and social acceptability of the proposed model were evaluated to determine its effectiveness and the possibility of its implementation in the study area.Ítem Propuesta interdimensional para potencializar la gestión sustentable de los residuos en la industria metalmecánica INDETRO LTDA de la Localidad de Puente Aranda, 2023-2030(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Corrrea Mora, María Paula; Leyton Cerquera, Angie Lorena; Pineda Simijaca , Lina María; Gutiérrez Sarmiento , Martha Cecilia; Gutiérrez Sarmiento, Martha Cecilia [0009-0005-9142-5833]Themonograph, entitled "Interdimensional Proposal to Enhance Sustainable Waste Management in the Metalworking Industry INDETRO LTDA of Puente Aranda, 2023-2030," addressed the problem of low efficiency in sustainable waste management in the metalworking industry, specifically at INDETRO LTDA. The research focused on developing an interdimensional proposal to improve the management of this waste, starting with the question of how sustainable waste management could be enhanced in the industry at UPZ 108 in Puente Aranda. A mixed-method research methodology was used, and specific objectives were set to understand, analyze, and transform the community's perception and behavior regarding waste management. This proposal included field and digital research activities, production process identification, and awareness-raising activities that addressed topics related to promoting responsible consumption practices and proper waste separation, strengthening the bond between stakeholders within the industry.Ítem Estrategias para el fortalecimiento sustentable del espacio público efectivo en las UPL Rincón de Suba y Britalia para el periodo 2024 – 2035Cadena Fernández, Luz Ángela; Castro Rivera, Lourdes Amanda; Manrique Barrera, Martha Liliana; Botia Flechas, Clara JudythThe inadequate occupation, deficit, and deterioration of public space in the Local Planning Units (UPL) Rincon of Suba and Britalia in Bogotá have negatively impacted the quality of life of their inhabitants. With the aim of sustainably strengthening effective public space in these UPL for the period 2024-2035, a methodology was developed structured in four phases: (1) analysis of the characteristics and strategies present in the various planning instruments, (2) identification of previously implemented actions, (3) evaluation of issues, and (4) definition of challenges and strategies. As a result, three strategies were designed to improve the public space in the area of study, transforming it into a functional, safe, and sustainable environment, promoting its accessibility and consolidating inclusive and participatory public policies.Ítem Análisis de prácticas agroecológicas como estrategia de Desarrollo Local Sostenible en la Vereda San Juan y áreas aledañas, de la Zona de Reserva Campesina de SumapazSoracipa Rodriguez , Edna Lorena; Pulido Mongui, Laura Tatiana; Sandoval Cobos, Lady Nathaly; Garcia Valbuena , Cesar AugustoThe purpose of this document is to characterize the agroecological practices implemented by the farmers of the villages of San Juan, Santo Domingo and Las Vegas, belonging to the Sumapaz Peasant Reserve Zone, through the information collected in the field by means of the application of research instruments, such as interviews and focus groups, recording the findings of the participating farms. Likewise, a diagnosis of the biotic, abiotic and socioeconomic environments of the selected study area was made, to later systematize and analyze the information collected, which allowed evaluating the level of sustainability of the farms selected by the work team through the methodology of Álvaro Acevedo Osorio, covering the environmental, economic and social components. Based on the results obtained, recommendations and suggestions were formulated with the objective of contributing to the reinforcement and implementation of actions aimed at the sustainable local development of the families living in the villages and surrounding areas of the Sumapaz locality. The recommendations can be applied and replicated by the farmers who participated in the process of elaboration of this monograph, as well as by those who are interested in the information provided.Ítem Estrategias para la conservación y recuperación de humedales de la comuna I de Soacha, desde el enfoque de la justicia ambiental 2018 – 2027(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Bernal Castellanos, Julieth Paola; Moreno Aguilar, Ruth Miriam; Moreno Aguilar, Ruth Miriam [0000-0002-5119-4840]In a context of population growth and urban expansion, both the conservation of wetland ecosystems and the equitable distribution of environmental burdens and benefits play a very important role in sustainable urban development. In this sense, this project addresses the problem of degradation of urban wetlands, as a consequence of the processes of planned and unplanned urban expansion in commune I of Soacha, Cundinamarca, which has affected both wetland ecosystems and access to environmental justice. Thus, this document proposes strategies from the perspective of environmental justice, for the recovery and conservation of wetlands and the equitable distribution of the services and resources that these ecosystems provide.Ítem Acciones sustentables para el fortalecimiento de la huerta tahuasua amarú sua de la localidad de Bosa, en Bogotá (2024-2027): desde la sinergia de las nociones de desarrollo de “Bogotá camina segura” y lo comunitario(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Carrillo Mantilla, Julián Darío; Cuellar Reyes , Johan Alfonso; Merchán Pérez, Juanita; Hernández Peña, Yolanda Teresa; Garcia Barreto, Germán Alberto (Catalogador)The purpose of this thesis is to propose sustainable actions to strengthen the “Tahuasuca Amarú Sua” (HTAS) garden in the town of Bosa, Bogotá, based on the analysis of the dimensions of the notions of Development of the District Development Plan (PDD) “Bogotá Camina Segura” (2024-2027) and the notions of the internal and external actors that interact around the garden. To achieve this, the development notions of the communities associated with the garden and the PDD “Bogotá Camina Segura” were characterized. Subsequently, the notions were analyzed from the Dimensions of Development; the similarities and gaps between the predominant approaches of both actors were identified, in order to finally propose the formulation of sustainable actions based on the findings obtained. It is assumed that the notions of institutional development are far from the notions of development of local communities and the premise is proposed that the synergy between institutions and communities strengthens local initiatives, increasing their impact, scope and sustainability.Ítem Lineamientos para el desarrollo agroturístico en torno al café en la vereda el Ocaso, Zipacón CundinamarcaPachón Reyes, Hugo Andrés; Robayo Fierro, Eliana; García Valbuena, Cesar Augusto; García Valbuena, Cesar Augusto [0000-0002-6959-6610]The degree work guidelines for agrotourism development around coffee in the village of El Ocaso, Zipacón-Cundinamarca aims to establish what direction small coffee producers who are interested in agrotourism as an additional source of income should take, because sustainability economic situation of a family that depends exclusively on coffee cultivation that is becoming less and less profitable, which is why alternatives must be sought in the area that do not generate negative impacts on the environment and that do not force them to abandon the countryside to migrate to the cities, or are persuaded to parcel out their farms and thus change the type of land from rural to suburban; also implement more lucrative crops but that have a greater impact on the environment, as is the case in the area with foliage crops which require excessive use of pesticides and herbicides, which leads to contamination of the soil, water and air, negatively affecting surrounding ecosystems and human health.The first objective of this degree work is to evaluate international institutions and their support for agrotourism, as well as the current regulations or requirements in Colombia focused on agrotourism, identify and evaluate the potential and external challenges where the farms associated with the implementation of the agrotourism, evaluate internal strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities of coffee-producing farms to characterize and define the possible role within the agrotourism circuit and finally define specific strategies and recommendations so that coffee-producing farms can implement agrotourism as a basis for local development, defining the guidelines to create a coffee route. Therefore, this degree work will contribute or direct the coffee community in the area to understand how implementing agrotourism can be a good source of income by taking advantage of existing resources, satisfying market demands, generating local economic benefits and contributing to the cultural and environmental preservation.Ítem Estrategias de fortalecimiento del turismo rural comunitario en la Vereda el Tablón del Municipio de Susa Cundinamarca(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Murcia Ramírez, Angie Carolina; Botía Flechas, Clara Judyth; Botía Flechas, Clara Judyth [0000-0003-2540-2068]This degree project aimed to propose strategies for sustainable local development through the inclusion of rural community tourism in the Vereda El Tablón, located in the municipality of Susa, Cundinamarca. The community of El Tablón has experienced an aging population due to the migration of youth to urban environments in search of better opportunities. The proposal focused on integrating the agricultural activities of the peasant community with the tourist offer, highlighting the landscape, cultural, gastronomic and artisanal attractions of the territory. To achieve this purpose, various data collection and analysis instruments were used, such as semi-structured interviews that allowed the identification of the roles played by the actors in the sociocultural, economic and environmental dimensions of the Vereda, which led to the performance of an analysis. SWOT. This analysis established the basis for the formulation of strategies aimed at the implementation of Community Rural Tourism (CRT), representing an option that the community can adopt to strengthen the local economy in a sustainable manner.Ítem Ecohostal: Etsa – nantar.

The results of the analysis carried out indicate that the implementation of a sustainable eco-hostel in Rincón del Mar is viable and can contribute significantly to sustainable local development, offering an alternative for responsible tourism with low environmental impact.Ítem Medidas específicas de adaptación frente a los efectos del cambio climático y la variabilidad climática para la producción de cacao en San Sebastián de Mariquita – Colombia(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Barrera Arias, Carlos Anselmo; Pinzón Aldana, Jennifer Katherine; Botia Flechas, Clara Judyth; Botia Flechas, Clara Judyth [ 0000-0003-2540-2068 ]; Garcia Barreto, Germán Alberto (Catalogador)Climate change is a phenomenon that impacts all inhabitants of the planet, generating uncertainty due to projections related to greenhouse gas emissions. Although the greenhouse effect is essential to maintain adequate temperatures for life, its intensification puts the balance of the planet at risk. In the agricultural field, climate change can have severe consequences on crops, especially in vulnerable areas such as rural areas of Colombia, where farmers already face challenges such as poverty and lack of basic services. This research focuses on the municipality of San Sebastián de Mariquita, known for its agricultural vocation, especially in cocoa production. Through three methodological phases, the challenges that climate change presents for cocoa cultivation and the need to implement adaptation measures are identified. The results indicate an increase in temperature that could compromise the profitability of the crop, so it is urgent to develop strategies that allow cocoa farmers to adapt and maintain their production.Ítem Formulación de una escuela comunitaria de gestión del riesgo como estrategia para el conocimiento y prevención, en la vereda de Miraflores del municipio de Miraflores- Boyacá(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Villamil Fernández , Natalia; Salamanca Ovalle, Lisseth Andrea; Botia Flechas, Clara Judyth; Botia Flechas,Clara Judyth [ 0000-0003-2540-2068 ]; Garcia Barreto, Germán Alberto (Catalogador)This research paper addresses the proposal of guidelines for the formulation of a community risk management school in the Miraflores district, located in the municipality of Miraflores, Boyacá. The initiative is based on community risk management as a participatory strategy that highlights the relevance of local knowledge in preventing risk scenarios, with the aim of strengthening resilience in rural communities. The initial analysis revealed that, in Miraflores, risk management is mainly limited to emergency response and prevention through infrastructure, without integrating participatory approaches or fostering community-led initiatives. In this regard, to structure the community-based risk management school, a preliminary characterization of stakeholders was conducted through community engagement, followed by the application of two survey models (physical and virtual). Based on the collected information, a Stakeholder Matrix was structured, and using the open-access software MACTOR, tools such as the Direct Influence Matrix (MID), the Valued Positions Matrix (2MAO), and the Convergence and Divergence Analysis among stakeholders were developed. As a result of this process, and considering field feasibility, the Community Action Board (JAC) of the Miraflores district was selected as the territorial and social actor responsible for developing the pedagogical activities for the formulation of the Community-Based Risk Management School. Subsequently, a prior technical-documentary diagnosis was conducted to define the pedagogical tools to be implemented in the field. In this context, during the sessions of the Community-Based Risk Management School, a participatory diagnosis was carried out with the Community Action Board, identifying threats and vulnerabilities in the district using the social mapping tool. Participants then recognized anthropogenic activities that could increase risk materialization and, finally, developed specific action proposals aimed at reducing risk scenarios. As a result, it is concluded that the guidelines formulated in this research can serve as a reference for similar initiatives, with potential implementation at the municipal level. Furthermore, the importance of considering the particularities of each stakeholder and their dynamics within the territory is emphasized to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of these strategies in each context.Ítem Evaluación de la transformación ambiental de los humedales adyacentes a la segunda pista del Aeropuerto Internacional El Dorado de la ciudad de Bogotá (Costado Sur - Occidental) durante el periodo 2009 a 2023 y posibles estrategias para su gestión sostenible(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Mora Roa , Yenny Alexandra; Noguera López, Erika Alejandra; García Valbuena, Cesar AugustoDistrict Wetland Reserves (DWR) are ecosystems of great ecological importance and play an important role in the conservation of biodiversity, regulation of the hydrological cycle, provision of ecosystem services, among others; according to the international RAMSAR treaty (2016). Thus, in terms of sustainable development and care for the environment, rapid urban growth poses multiple challenges for cities around the world, as the population increases and demands for housing and services intensify, the need arises to find a balance between urban development and the conservation of valuable local ecosystems (United Nations, 2018) In Colombia, according to (Acosta, 2013) urban renewal has been adapted as a response to the absence of useful land in the main cities, as a densification mechanism, to avoid expansion in areas that affect the daily lives of people contrary to its objective of contributing to a better quality of life; An example of this is the Bogotá River diversion project presented in 1996 for the construction of the second runway of the El Dorado international airport and the pre-delimitation of the partial plan “El Escritorio 2” in the town of Fontibón; therefore, some urban projects and infrastructures have become key designs for urban development that seek to improve the quality of life of residents; however, the implementation of these has also generated over time that important natural resources such as wetland reserves face different significant risks regarding their preservation. Thus, environmental transformations significantly impact both ecosystems and the quality of life of communities, which is evident in the close relationship between the environment, the territory and local development. These spaces not only perform crucial ecological functions, such as regulating the water cycle and providing habitats for biodiversity, but are also fundamental for the economic and social development of the town. The interaction between the environment and the territory defines the use and management of wetlands, influencing urban planning, economic activities and social cohesion. Therefore, local development must be oriented towards a sustainable perspective, integrating the conservation of natural resources and promoting the participation of communities in their management. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to evaluate the transformation of wetlands recognized or not by an environmental authority adjacent to the second runway of the El Dorado International Airport in the town of Fontibón, during the study period from 2009 to 2023, where it seeks to recognize the different factors that have caused the transformation of wetlands over time and in turn identify the possible negative environmental impacts that anthropic activities have generated directly or indirectly to these ecosystems. To achieve this, a bibliographic review was carried out, including documentary sources, government reports, technical studies, maps and plans through multitemporal analysis using satellite images and aerospace images to observe the changes caused during the study period. Likewise, the analysis of the Driving Force-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (FM-P-E-I-R) model was implemented to identify the actions that promoted these transformations on the wetland ecosystem and their possible impacts. Finally, through the analysis of the methodologies implemented in this research, recommendations, proposals and/or strategies were generated that could apply a sustainable approach to development in the town of Fontibón in harmony with the environment.Ítem Ruta metodológica para la gestión integral del servicio ecosistémico cultural oportunidades recreativas y ecoturismo en el PNN AmacayacuVanegas Lievano , John Alexander; Botia Flechas , Clara JudythThe Amacayacu National Natural Park, located in the Department of Amazonas, plays a crucial role in biodiversity conservation and ecological balance, focusing on protecting floodplain and tropical wet forests, maintaining species diversity, and promoting sustainable development in collaboration with indigenous communities. Since the late 1980s, community-based ecotourism has been a key strategy, especially after the visitor center closed in 2010, with local communities now leading ecotourism activities. The research proposes a methodology for the integral management of the cultural ecosystem service of ecotourism in the park, aiming to balance tourist demand with ecosystem conservation, following recommendations from experts in the field. The results focus on enhancing the ecotourism activity offerings and optimizing management through community participation and environmental educationÍtem Propuesta para la sensibilización ecológico ambiental de la población infantil, como apoyo al programa de extensión bibliotecaria del municipio de Albania SantanderDominguez Roa, Jhon Jairo; Botia Flechas, Clara JudythThis research is focused on designing a proposal for environmental ecological awareness for children in Albania, Santander; this with the aim of integrating awareness in the population, through coordination with the extension program of the municipal library. Given the observation that environmental practices in the municipality are managed in a reactive manner and the notable lack of environmental knowledge among the child population. This study proposes an educational approach that promotes greater awareness and more active participation in the protection and assessment of the natural environment, thus managing to integrate the environmental environment as a determinant in the different municipal dynamics. The methodology used was qualitative, with an inductive approach that allowed a deep exploration of perceptions and current environmental knowledge in the child community. Through interviews and analysis of the environmental situation and existing initiatives, critical data were collected that underscore the urgency of implementing educational practices focused on raising awareness for sustainability. The findings indicate a widespread lack of knowledge about local natural resources, as is the lack of knowledge of local paramo ecosystems and water resource conditions among the population investigated, as well as inadequate identification of solid waste, among others. These results highlight the need for educational actions that not only inform about environmental problems, but also train children to become agents of change in their community. Consequently, the research concludes by underlining the importance of incorporating environmental education in a systematic and continuous way in the curriculum of the children of Albania, Santander. The implementation of workshops in collaboration with the municipal library is proposed to achieve this end. In addition, future studies are suggested to evaluate the impact of these educational interventions and to expand awareness programs to other segments of the youth population. Keywords: Environmental ecological awareness, early childhood education, paramo ecosystems, solid waste management, Albania Santander.Ítem Propuesta de cultura ciudadana: una aproximación al “modelo de aprovechamiento la basura no es basura” Bogotá 2021-2028Duran Castro, Diana Velinda; Gomez de la Parra, Luis Miguel; Espinosa García, Helmut; Helmut Espinosa García [0000-0001-9341-3995]This proposal suggests alternatives to empower citizen culture in order to strengthen the Circular Economy. Initially, a critical description of the document “Modelo de Aprovechamiento: La Basura No Es Basura” is made, in which the concepts, programs, projects, and actions to be executed are analyzed. Specifically, a parallel is drawn between the “Bogotá Humana 2012-2016” with its “Basura Cero” program, “Bogotá Mejor Para Todos 2016-2020”, “Cultura Ciudadana Para El Manejo De Residuos Sólidos”, and “Bogotá 2020-2023”, with the “Modelo De Aprovechamiento” “La Basura No Es Basura”. Each of these approaches emphasizes strategic points to guide citizens toward the transformation of habits, customs, and attitudes. Regarding the document under investigation, a qualitative analysis is conducted to assess its weaknesses, strengths, threats, and opportunities, as proposed by the Unidad Administrativa Especial de Servicios Públicos (UAESP). Based on this information, three strategic pillars are proposed: (i) Culture of the Common Good: Promoting values and practices that benefit the community at large. (ii) Waste Utilization: Considering proper waste management as a choice that can result in gains or losses y, (iii) Citizen Participation: Encouraging active citizen involvement as a foundation for building a strong civic culture. Ultimately, this initiative aims to significantly change how society perceives and manages its waste, recognizing the importance of citizen culture as a key factor in strengthening the circular economy.Ítem Huertas comunitarias de la localidad de San Cristóbal como base para la construcción del tejido social comunitarioRodríguez Silva, Mary Yhoe; Coy Verano, UrielIt is proposed to create a research based on the characteristics of the conformation of four community gardens Huertopía, Amaranta, Guakes del Zuke and Ambiente Tabanoy located in the district of San Cristóbal, designing six indicators to determine how in this neighborhood the social tissue has developed in function of these community orchards, through the characterization of the orchard men and women orchards object of study, characterization of the orchards and the dynamics that are developed in each of these, understanding the particularitiesand approaches proposed in the different processes, in order to evaluate the construction of this community social tissue through the analysis of categories that emerge from the interviews, understanding the community social tissue as the set of effective relationships that determines the particular ways of being, producing, interacting and projecting themselves in the family surroundings, community, labor and citizen, according to (Romero, 2005) which is evidenced in these networks that are woven in a fraternal way between the community and the group of members of each one of the orchards.
