Propuesta de un sistema de información ambiental participativo del ecobarrio la Esmeralda

Abstract

Econeighborhoods are urban, ecological and sustainable projects that integrate environmental, social, economic and governance dynamics, which promote local development and social cohesion through a sustainable approach, offering environmental solutions and promoting practices around energy efficiency, the conservation of resources, the reduction of the environmental footprint, among other aspects, with the aim of mitigating climate change and improving the quality of life of the inhabitants. Therefore, the objective of this work was to propose a participatory environmental information system of La Esmeralda eco-neighborhood as an instrument of local planning within a territorial intelligence model to contribute to the construction of guidelines for a socio-environmental master plan. Thus, the research was developed through the mixed or qualitative-quantitative research methodology. Firstly, the characterization of La Esmeralda neighborhood was carried out through 4 dimensions of sustainable development, obtaining the state of the art of the eco-neighborhood and the spatial representation of the real scenario. In the second instance, the identification and analysis of local actors was carried out within the framework of territorial intelligence and local environmental governance supported by the MACTOR software, which gave way to a table of social and institutional actors and their competencies within the neighborhood, as well as, the study of the dynamics between them. Subsequently, the visions of the planned territories and the construction of the possible territories were identified, resulting in the proposal of the model of the 10 axes of the econeighborhood, together with the articulation matrix of the axes of the econeighborhood with national and international guidelines, and finally the socio-environmental proposal of the possible territory. Ultimately, the first version of a geographic viewer was built that shows the socio-environmental dynamics of La Esmeralda eco-neighborhood and guides it with the guidelines for the socio-environmental construction of the territory. Therefore, the study created a tool for the use of the neighborhood community and especially for the JAC La Esmeralda with the spatial information compiled from the territory, which will facilitate decision making around the organization and comprehensive management of the neighborhood, supporting the planning and formulation of plans and programs. For its part, the creation of the 10 axes model and implementation of the guide with the guidelines will lead to the achievement of the socio-environmental master plan and the commitments of the ÉcoQuartier.
