Over the last two decades, an ambitious development project named the Riviera Veracruzana has been implemented, aggravating existing socio-ecological problems. The study analyzed the socio-ecological scenario in this system, characterizing the socio-ecological problems and the social actors involved based on their perceptions, interests and power relations. A two-track methodological scheme was used: (1) collection of information from secondary sources associated with the MCLS and (2) ethnographic data collection with primary sources through semi-structured interviews with key social actors from different social sectors, participatory workshops with focus groups and a field diary. The results revealed a perception of high environmental degradation, socio-ecological conflicts surrounding the conservation and use of territory, and an asymmetry of power among social actors. It is crucial to search for alternatives aiming at power reconfiguration but especially based on people centered, co-produced conservation strategies.listelement.badge.dso-typeÍtem, listelement.badge.access-status Texto completo enlazado , Megaincendio de febrero de 2024 en la conurbación de la provincia de Valparaíso y zonas de interfaz urbano-forestal, Chile(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-09-22) Castañeda-Meneses, Patricia LorenaOn February 2 and 3, 2024, the conurbation of the Province of Valparaíso, Chile, was affected by a catastrophic megafire. In this context, the article presents the results of a qualitative study with an exploratory-descriptive approach, aimed at analyzing the event from the perspective of the contribution of wildland-urban interface zones to the occurrence of the disaster. The findings show that the wildland-urban interface zones of the Valparaíso conurbation constituted a powerful fuel load that increased the territory’s vulnerability to the megafire. This vulnerability was exacerbated by high temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds, resulting in a high destructive potential that reached an unprecedented level of devastation. There is a high risk that such an event will recur in the territory, given the structural geographic conditions that favor the presence of wildland-urban interface zones, compounded by a decade-long megadrought, the existence of fast-growing forest plantations on urban margins, and human impact. It is concluded that the occurrence of the megafire is linked at a macro level to the process of climate change and its consequences—megadrought and heat waves—factors that, in this case, contributed to the development of a catastrophic event.listelement.badge.dso-typeÍtem, listelement.badge.access-status Texto completo enlazado , Aprendiendo desde el jardín: ciudadanía global y paisaje en el primer jardín botánico de San Martín de Porres, Lima, Perú(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-09-22) Miranda Rodrigo, Letzy RubiThis essay aims to propose a reflection on the potential of a citizen-led intervention in San Martín de Porres, Metropolitan Lima, as a formative space for global citizenship. The intervention took place in a neighborhood of the district through the creation, in 2018, of a botanical garden with wide botanical and biological diversity. The main motivation behind this initiative was to create a space for children in the area to engage with nature, fostering greater sensitivity and responsibility in the face of climate challenge. Currently, the garden has hosted school excursions from two local schools. The Swiss Commission for UNESCO recognizes the potential of education in non-formal and informal settings for the development of global citizenship. In this sense, we analyze the potential of the botanical garden as a non-formal learning environment, drawing on the method proposed by its creator: a multisensory approach to addressing complexity. The starting point is the space itself —that is, the landscape— experienced through all the senses and through an understanding of the systems and relationships that converge within it. In this way, the landscape becomes a space for citizenship education. Understanding landscape not as an exceptional place but as an everyday, immediate, and proximate one allows us to focus on the role of its inhabitants. The everyday landscape is the first step in our relationship with the portion of the world we live in, the first scale from which we recognize ourselves within broader national or global scales. Recognizing ourselves as actors means acknowledging our potential as citizens, developing a sense of responsibility and care for our surroundings, and imagining new landscapes.listelement.badge.dso-typeÍtem, listelement.badge.access-status Texto completo enlazado , Espacio público y agroecología urbana. Genealogías y estrategias de integración paisajística en Rosario, Argentina(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-09-22) Roldán, DiegoThis article explores how urban agriculture in Rosario challenges hegemonic discourses on landscape and territory, proposing some keys to rethink green public space. The city of Rosario is selected as a case study due to the relevance and recognition of its agroecology. The methodology consists of a critical interpretation of documentary sources, an analysis of personal interviews with key informants and a direct observation of agroecological devices. For this purpose, the origins of urban agriculture are investigated and its links with economic crises and urban peripheries are shown. Then, the trajectory of green landscapes privileged by public spaces is analyzed to show the historical dissociation between the imaginaries of aesthetics-recreation and production-environment. Finally, the potentialities of orchard parks and agroecological fairs are addressed in order to establish synergies between agroecology and public space and to inscribe agroecological landscapes in urban centralities. Both devices exhibit capacities to integrate production and consumption, ecological landscapes and, ultimately, to reassemble the relationship between nature and city.listelement.badge.dso-typeÍtem, listelement.badge.access-status Texto completo enlazado , Paisajes de borde en humedales urbanos: un enfoque de mapeo crítico y análisis normativo en Lima, Perú(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-09-25) Torres Mallma, Sally Fernanda; Torres Mallma, Anna Vanessa; Huamán Talla, Sergio Enrique; Lopez Cornejo, Diana EstephanyThe Pantanos de Villa Wildlife Refuge (RVSPV), an urban wetland located in Lima, Peru, is under increasing pressure from urbanization, territorial disconnection, and intensive human activities. This study critically reads the wetland’s edges as strategic territories for ecological connectivity, sustainability, and environmental justice. Using a situated methodology that combines field observation, regulatory analysis, and critical cartography, a typology of edge landscapes was developed, comprising five categories: coastal, road, core, degraded, and built. The analysis identified differentiated socioecological dynamics and prioritized zones according to their vulnerability and management potential. A significant disconnect was found between current public policies and territorial conditions, particularly in degraded and road-adjacent edges, where ecological fragmentation and regulatory neglect configure urban necrospaces. Although legal framework acknowledges edges as buffer zones, it lacks adaptive approaches and differentiated intervention criteria. The study calls for a shift toward restoration and adaptive management strategies grounded in the critical typology developed, reinforcing territorial planning with more integrated regulatory mechanisms sensitive to landscape heterogeneity. This approach is replicable for other fragmented urban wetlands across Latin America.
