Resumen
La presente investigación elabora las bases para el desarrollo del ecoturismo y los diversos atractivos presentes en el área de uso público del Fundo Nonguén, localizado en los 73° 00´ de Latitud Sur y 36° 52´ de Longitud Oeste, entre las comunas de Concepción, Chiguayante y Hualqui, en la Región del Biobío. Como primer paso, se determinaron los límites tentativos del área de uso público en base a la superposición de zonas homogéneas y zonificaciones de uso propuestas por el Centro de Ciencias Ambientales Europa-Latinoamérica de la Universidad de Concepción (EULA-Chile) y la Corporación Nacional Forestal del Biobío (CONAF). Luego se identificaron las posibles zonas de uso público intensivo, extensivo y especial, realizando además un análisis FODA para determinar el potencial ecoturístico del área. Se identificaron y clasificaron en fichas los atractivos naturales y/o culturales presentes en el área de estudio según la jerarquía propuesta por Ceballos-Lascuráin (1998). Por último, se realizó un estudio de la capacidad de carga a la red de senderos peatonales identificados en la zona de uso público, con el fin de determinar una aproximación de la intensidad de uso de los visitantes por día. Se concluyó que el área de uso público del Fundo Nonguén presenta una gran potencialidad para el desarrollo de actividades de ecoturismo ligadas a la educación ambiental e interpretación; sin embargo, no presenta atractivos focales importantes, por lo que se recomienda centrar los recursos de equipamiento e instalaciones en dar a conocer el interés ecosistémico del área.

This research aims to publicize the bases for the ecotourism development and the various attractions in the public use area of Fundo Nonguén, located in 73° 00´ LS and 36° 52´ LW, between the communities of Concepción, Chiguayante and Hualqui in the Biobío Region. Tentative boundaries of the area of public use based on the overlay of homogeneous managment areas and diverse sectors proposed by EULA-Chile Research Center and the national Biobío National Forestry Corporation were identified as a first step. In relation to this, identified possible areas of special extensive and intensive use also a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis to determine the potential ecotourism area. Then they were identified and classified into tabs the natural attractions and/or cultural present in the area described above, according to the hierarchy proposed by Ceballos-Lascuráin (1998). Finally, was conducted a study load to the network of pedestrian trails identified in the study area for determining an approximation of visitors use intensity per day. It was concluded that the area of public use of Fundo Nonguén presents a great potential for the development of ecotourism activities related to environmental education and interpretation, however, does not present important focal attractions, and we recommend invest resources in focus equipment and facilities in publicizing the ecosystem area interest.
