Resumen
El siguiente documento es una propuesta que busca conjugar al sector educativo de
Enseñanza Básica, con las directrices que sugiere el Ecoturismo, para dar a conocer
mediante la experiencia en terreno, la particularidad de algunos ecosistemas que están
presentes en la naturaleza. En este caso se ha llevado a contextualizar el área de estudio
en el humedal que forma el río Maipo al desembocar en el balneario de Santo Domingo,
ubicado en la Región de Valparaíso. En él, se pretende llevar a cabo un programa de
actividades ecoturísticas para alumnos de 5to a 8vo básico, donde puedan aplicar y
experimentar los contenidos y aprendizajes vistos en clases, a través de trabajos y
actividades en una visita a terreno. Para ello se inició una investigación sobre el
concepto de “humedal” a través de algunos estudios de gabinete y de campo (ocho
terrenos) que permitieron recabar información substancial para desarrollar la propuesta.
Se trabajó en varias ocasiones con profesionales asociados al tema de las aves y a la
vulnerabilidad de estos ecosistemas (ornitólogos, biólogos marinos, paisajistas, etc.) a
través de las distintas reuniones dadas por AvesChile, la Unión de Ornitólogos de Chile,
quienes monitorean regularmente el avistamiento de aves en varios ecosistemas del
borde costero. Se realizaron contactos con la Municipalidad, la que logró gestionar a
través de un decreto de alcaldicio, la protección del lugar, para declararlo actualmente
Parque de la Naturaleza de la Comuna de Santo Domingo. La Dirección de Obras,
facilitó traslados hasta los terrenos municipales y material a disposición (boletines,
mapas similares a las cartas topográficas, etc.). Se investigó acerca de una futura
expansión portuaria que llegaría hasta la ribera norte de la Desembocadura del Río
Maipo en la Comuna de San Antonio, la cual puede influir en el bienestar y en la
integridad de las aves residentes del lugar y del ecosistema que las alberga. Estos
atractivos naturales que caracterizan al humedal pueden transformarse en herramientas
valiosas para sensibilizar, y concientizar de la importancia que tienen estas áreas como
ecosistemas en el segmento de alumnos de 5to a 8vo básico, las cuales no solo
representan un escenario potencial para el desarrollo del ecoturismo sino también una
estrategia educativa para culturizar a la población humana, empezando por los
escolares.
The following document is a proposal whose purpose is to combinate the educational sector of elementary teaching with directives that eco-tourism suggests, in order to present through field experiencing the particularity of some ecosystems. The study area has been contextualized in the wetlands formed by the Maipo river that ending in Santo Domingo, located in Valparaiso region. In this place an eco-tourism program is tried to carried out for students from 5th to 8th grade, where they can apply and experience contents and learning abilities as seen on classes, throughout workshops and activities to the field visits. To achieve this an investigation was initiated, about the concept of wetlands through some cabinet and fieldworks studies allowing to collect substantial information to develop the proposal. In several instances i worked with professional people linked to birds and the vulnerability of these ecosystems (ornithologists, marine biologists, landscapers, etc) through different meetings given by AvesChile, Chilean Ornithologists Union that regularly are monitoring birds, watching in various ecosystems of the seashore. Contacts with municipality were made, since they could manage the protection of the place through a mayor degree, in order declare the area as parque de la naturaleza, in Santo Domingo district. The direccion de Obras sponsored some visit to the area some visit to the area and provived written material susha as bulletins, maps similar to topographic charts, etc. An investigation research was made related to the planned future harbor expansion that would reaches to the north shore of the opening of Maipo river, that could influence in the welfare and integrity of resident birds and the ecosystem that houses them. This natural attractive that characterizes the wetland could become into valuable tools for awareness of the importance of this areas as ecosystems, representing a potential scenario for eco-tourism development, but also a educative strategy in order to give culture to human population, starting by the students.
