Resumen
El presente trabajo propone una alternativa para abordar los problemas derivados de la
desertificación y la sequía que enfrentan las áreas rurales áridas y semiáridas del mundo, lo cual
tiene un nexo directo con la conciencia ambiental de los habitantes y la falta de herramientas que
permitan mejorar la relación del ser humano con el medio natural.
Se tomó como ejemplo Frutillar Alto, una pequeña localidad desconocida por muchos, pero que
grafica perfectamente una realidad de las áreas rurales. Mediante este trabajo se espera dar a
conocer al público la localidad de Frutillar Alto, contribuir al desarrollo sustentable de ésta y
ayudar a cubrir necesidades básicas de sus habitantes mostrando una manera alternativa de
abordar la habitabilidad, y mejorar los ingresos.
Para esto se realizó un diagnóstico de la zona de estudio, buscando generar una propuesta
coherente con la realidad local. Se evaluó el potencial ecoturístico y los recursos naturales y
culturales del sector. Se analizó iniciativas similares y tecnologías socialmente apropiadas que
apunten a resolver los problemas.
Con base en el ecoturismo y la permacultura se generó una propuesta para abordar la
habitabilidad, aumentar el ingreso familiar y mejorar la calidad de vida de sectores rurales en
proceso de desertificación.
Derivando en un Centro Integral de Prácticas Sustentables "Eco de Estrellas" y una propuesta de
gestión para este y para el ecoturismo.
Se comprueba que Frutillar Alto tiene un gran potencial para el desarrollo de ecoturismo y las
actividades propuestas. Concluyendo que la sequía, desertificación y la vulnerabilidad de los
habitantes pueden enfrentarse con un manejo sustentable a través de la permacultura y el
ecoturismo.
This paper proposes an alternative approach to the problems derived from desertification and drought, facing the arid and semi-arid rural areas of the world. This would link directly to the level of environmental awareness in people, and the lack of tools to improve the relationship between human beings and their natural environment. It was taken Frutillar Alto as an example, a small village unknown by many, that perfectly represents the current situation in rural areas. Through this work it is expected introduce the Frutillar Alto's situation to the general public and thus contribute to the sustainable development of this village and help meet the basic needs of its people, showing an alternative way to improve habitability and income. With this aim a diagnosis was conducted of the study area, seeking to create a coherent proposal with local situation. An assessment has been made of ecotouristic potential, as well as the natural and cultural resources of the area, to then meet similar initiatives and socially appropriate technologies that were working towards solving the problem. Based on ecotourism and permaculture principies, a proposal was made to address the habitability, increase family income and improve the quality life of rural areas facing the process of desertification. This resulted in an Integral Center for Sustainable Practices "Eco de Estrellas" and a management proposal for this and for ecotourism. [t is verified that Frutillar Alto has great potential for the ecotourism development and the proposed activities. Concluding that drought, desertification and vulnerability of the people can be faced with sustainable management through permaculture and ecotourism.
