Ítem Texto completo enlazado La urbanización y la verticalidad de los vínculos rurales-urbanos en las montañas(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022-11-07) Haller, Andreas; Branca, DomenicoMountains are commonly considered a rural or even wild counterpart to cities. But, is this view still relevant in times of “planetary urbanization”? What is actually “wild,” “rural,” and “urban,” and how do these categories differ in structural and/or functional terms? Are there urban specificities in mountains? Drawing on the concepts of planetary urbanization and verticality, and introducing examples from the Global North and South, this chapter presents a central theme of urban montology, the sustainability-oriented, transdisciplinary study of urbanizing mountain environments: rural–urban linkages between altitudinal zones. Ecosystemic, infrastructural, demographic, economic, and sociocultural linkages in mountains present numerous peculiarities due to relief and altitude of the urbanizing environment. “Flows” of mountain ecosystem services, cable cars linking valleys and peaks, vertical spatial mobility of people, and the deliberate use of alpine environments and identities for branding mountain cities—to attract investors and visitors—are just a few examples that underline the increasing interconnectedness of the former counterparts of intrinsically “urban” cities and “rural” (or “wild”) mountains. This must be taken into account when studying and facilitating the transition of urbanizing mountain spaces into places worth living in for humans and nonhumans.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Para democratizar y fortalecer el aprovechamiento forestal en el Perú(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022-11-03) Dourojeanni, MarcExceptions aside, the production of timber from natural forests in Peru does not result from the application of sustainable forest management. Therefore, wood exploitation degrades the forest and contributes to severely reduce its ecosystem services. The most evident direct cause of degradation has been the transfer of responsibility for forest management to the private sector, which, under the current and predicable economic and social context, is unable to carry out a sustainable management that is also profitable (Dourojeanni 2019, 2020). In the context of a new national forest policy that prioritizes the maintenance of environmental services (Dourojeanni et al 2021, CNF 2022) it is being proposed to gradually transfer this responsibility to the State and local communities, without undermining the private role in the extraction, transformation, and commercialization phases. Forest management would be carried out through local management units with full participation of local actors and administrative and financial autonomy, based on the public auction of standing trees. This note describes the proposal, discusses its justification, its advantages, and eventual disadvantages, and proposes a practical alternative for its implementation.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Presentación N° 10 (2022)(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022-08-25) Castro, AugustoNo presenta resumenÍtem Texto completo enlazado Las ciencias forestales y su relación con la justicia(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022-08-23) Arce Rojas, Rodrigo SeveroThis article deals with the relationship between forestry sciences and justice with the aim of enriching the theoretical and operational framework of forestry sciences and of contributing to a better relationship between society and its forests. For this purpose, a specialized bibliographic review is carried out and complemented by contrasting it with the forestry reality in Peru. This shows that -from a forestry discipline perspective- forestry sciences consider that they do not have much to do with the issue of justice, which would correspond to other fields of knowledge. However, different types of justice are an integral part of their theory and practice when forests are understood as socio-ecosystems, a product of coupled systems that include forests, society and culture. The strongly anthropocentric conception of forestry science, which translates into public administration and forestry operations, makes ecological justice invisible. Other more human-related justice such as cognitive/epistemic justice or linguistic justice are absent.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Manejo Forestal Comunitario: ¿una solución socialmente innovadora para abordar la conservación de los bosques? El caso de la Comunidad Nativa Callería (Ucayali, Perú)(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022-08-29) Calero Valdez, DiegoGiven the increasing speed of deforestation in the Amazonia and the problems faced by local communities and indigenous people who depend on forestry resources, the need for sustainable and collaborative forest management is evident. This essay evaluates the extent to which community-based conservation strategies could be framed into the social innovation approach, based on the experience of Community Forest Management in Callería Native Community (Ucayali, Peru). To address this purpose, different academic sources on Community Forest Management experiences within and outside the Amazon region and the case study itself were consulted, as well as other sources referring to the concepts of conservation, socio-ecological systems, governance of the commons and social innovation. The conclusion of this essay is that Community Forest Management could be largely framed as a solution within a social innovation approach, because it has enabled the Callería Native Community to achieve the three dimensions of social innovation: meet their human needs, develop new relationships and organizational structures, and increase their socio-political capacity. However, not all community conservation strategies are the same, as they are context specific.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Diagnóstico para elaborar un modelo que permita formalizar los centros de acopio informales de residuos segregados en el distrito de Ate (Lima, Perú)(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022-09-12) Urbay Paz, Sergio CésarThe general objective of this research, done in 2020, was to analyze the effect of the formalization model on the application of waste segregation methods in informal collection centers, located between kilometers 16 and 17.5 of the Ate district, (Lima, Perú). The methodological design for developing the thesis project was of the "action-research" type in which a mixed qualitative-quantitative approach was used, through surveys and interviews to workers of informal collection centers, recyclers, area residents and Ate municipality professional experts in solid waste management. Through the results, we propose a formalization model with methods that help to carry out adequate waste segregation in informal collection centers, incorporating a comprehensive management system in each of them.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Presiones sobre el suelo: un panorama ecológico económico del sector agropecuario en Perú, 2000-2015(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022-08-25) Minaya Florez, Gretell AuroraGiven the development of the different streams of innovation in the agricultural sector worldwide, it is relevant to contrast the progressive vision of economic growth and increase in agricultural productivity with other holistic visions. These integral visions propose increasingly better tools that seek to emphasize human relationships with nature and, by this way, measure their socio-environmental effects and propose new forms of relationship. The following study presents the perspectives of innovation for the Peruvian agricultural sector and applies the Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem Metabolism (MuSIASEM) which results show the sustainability of the sector, particularly an overview of soil degradation. This tool will provide a quantitative description of the pesticide and insecticide flows generated by agriculture in Peru and, in the same way, it will propose an explanation of their effects on the environment.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Las limitaciones de la tipificación de infracciones en materia de fauna silvestre, a propósito del procedimiento administrativo sancionador iniciado contra la refinería La Pampilla(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022-11-03) García Cerrón, Erick LeddyThe oil spill in the Ventanilla sea has posed a great challenge for the public entities responsible for managing this environmental disaster. In addition, different voices of public opinion are demanding that La Pampilla Refinery, owned by Repsol, assume its responsibility, among other aspects, for the serious damage caused to wildlife. In this context, the National Forestry and Wildlife Service, through the Technical Forestry and Wildlife Administration of Lima, initiated an administrative sanctioning procedure against the company, accusing them of acting cruelly and causing the death of marine wildlife specimens. However, this action, which could be considered as an indispensable measure to achieve justice in the face of the serious damage caused to our natural resources, could end up becoming a serious setback in the State's search for environmental justice. From the analysis of the principle of typicity for the exercise of the administrative sanctioning power and the legislation on wildlife, it is evident that it would not have adequately regulated events such as those triggered because of the oil spill. These inconsistencies are evidenced in the process for the precise delimitation of the infringing conduct, which, by presenting gaps at the level of the substantive norm, ends up limiting and projecting a scenario regarding the possibility of declaring administrative responsibility and imposing the corresponding sanction for harming our wildlife.Ítem Texto completo enlazado La influencia de la educación ambiental en la percepción del desarrollo sostenible en docentes y estudiantes de secundaria. Un estudio de casos(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022-09-08) Matos Meléndez, Barbara BernardinaThis article aims to determine the influence of environmental education on sustainable development perception among high-school teachers and students of Local Educational Management Unit - UGEL 03 in Metropolitan Lima. A non-experimental correlational scope design was used for this purpose. The sample consisted of 103 teachers and 301 fifth-year secondary school students from schools belonging to UGEL 03. A questionnaire with 18 items related to environmental education and sustainable development was applied to them. The results show that the correlation coefficient between the study variables obtained in teachers (rho = 0.455; Sig. = 0.000) is statistically significant at the p<0.01 level. Similarly, the correlation coefficient between the study variables obtained for students (rho = 0.590; Sig. = 0.000) is statistically significant at the p<0.01 level. This leads to conclude that environmental education significantly influences sustainable development perception of both high-school teachers and students in the investigated sample.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Los efectos de la pandemia del COVID-19 en las áreas protegidas españolas: el caso del parque nacional Picos de Europa(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022-08-25) Molteni, Carla MariaProtected areas are complex social-ecological systems; thus, they were unavoidably impacted by COVID-19. Spain is one of the most diverse countries in terms of biodiversity in the European Union and the second most visited country in 2019 and third touristic destination worldwide. Understanding the effects of the pandemic in Spanish protected areas is very important to discuss new possibilities on how to drive sustainable development on these conserved spaces and how to manage them in the event of external shocks and uncertain scenarios. Therefore, the aim of this study is to have a better understanding of the effects and opportunities of the pandemic on Spanish protected areas. To address this concern, a qualitative analysis is conducted based on an assessment of secondary literature and relevant interviews. Picos de Europa national park was chosen as case study because of its unique features. This study shows the drawbacks of the pandemic in Picos de Europa in terms of management operations, drastic fluctuation of visitors, loss of tourism revenues, vulnerability of neighboring communities, missed opportunities in conservation and education and pressure on nature. On the other hand, it poses opportunities in terms of technology, innovation, fundings, lessons learned, rise in educational and conservation activities and more awareness on the environment and rural surroundings. This study suggests that is difficult to find a win-win solution that includes the targets of nature conservation, viability of local economies and tourism activities in Picos de Europa. Ideas for management options that focus on dealing with the negative outcomes of the pandemic are suggested.
