Resumen
Isla de Pascua presenta una serie de problemas ambientales producto de la creciente
actividad turística de los últimos veinte años. En este contexto, este trabajo presenta
una Propuesta de Programa de Educación Ambiental orientado a jóvenes de la isla
con el objetivo de crear conciencia en la población sobre los diferentes problemas
ambientales que afectan a la isla, y la directa relación que existe entre el deterioro del
medio ambiente y la disminución de la actividad turística.
La metodología utilizada se basó en un diagnostico ambiental de la isla como a su
vez, una caracterización de los jóvenes a quienes el programa está dirigido. De esta
manera, se estudiaron y analizaron los problemas ambientales más relevantes para así
poder crear una propuesta metodológica educacional relevante a la realidad y
comunidad insular. Así mismo, se profundizó en la temática de desechos sólidos
domiciliarios, y a partir de ello, se creó una propuesta de programa de educación
ambiental la cual incorpora no sólo información sobr~ la realidad de la isla, pero
además propone actividades para generar un ambiente de cooperación y aprendizaje
que se traduzca luego en mejoras en conductuales y eventualmente, ambientales.
Dentro de las conclusiones más relevantes se encuentra la necesidad de generar un
cambio en los patrones de conducta de los individuos para que así seamos capaces de
actuar de manera sustentable con el medio que nos rodea. La educación se presenta
como una herramienta apropiada y relevante para la generación de ese cambio
conductual.
Easter Island presents a series of environmental problems due to the increasement of the tourism industry during the last two decades. In this context this thesis proposes an Environmental Education Program directed to the island's youth with the objective of building conscience and awareness about the serious environmental issues that affect the island today, and the direct relationship that exists between the health ofthe environment and the prosperity ofthe tourism industry. The methodology used was based on an environmental diagnosis of the island and also, a characterization of the island's youth to whom this study was directed. As such, the more relevant environmental problems were studied and analyzed in order to create a methodological program in accordance to the people and their environment. In this context, the issue of so lid residues was analyzed, and based on it the environmental education program was developed. The program not only analyzes the islands situation but also proposes a series of activities directed to generate conductual and behavioral change that can be later be seen as improvements of the natural environment. Sorne of the most relevant conclusions are the need of creating behavioral change through the creation of awareness of the state of our environment and our role on its improvement. Education is presented as an appropriate and relevant tool for generating such change.
