Factores que inciden en la subutilización de los parques estructurantes de Bogotá: una estrategia sostenible para maximizar el potencial socioeconómico y ambiental. localidad de Puente Aranda (parques estructurantes Aguaviva y la Alquería)

Abstract

This study analyzes the functioning and current conditions of the structural parks La Alquería and Aguaviva, located in Bogotá, with the purpose of identifying strengths, limitations, and opportunities for improvement in their management, infrastructure, and community contribution. Based on surveys, direct observation, and documentary review, it was found that both parks play an essential role as recreational, sports, and social spaces, although they present significant differences. Aguaviva, as a recent development, offers modern, accessible areas with an environmental approach that reinforces sustainability. In contrast, La Alquería shows deficiencies in maintenance, security, and community participation, which limit its use. Environmental challenges were also identified, such as waste accumulation and the perception of disorder, requiring sustainable education and management strategies. Finally, the study highlights the need to strengthen administration, expand cultural offerings, and guarantee social inclusion processes in order to consolidate these parks as benchmarks of urban integration and collective well-being.
