The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has been devastating for international tourism, adversely affecting destinations, organizations, and local communities. In particular, the crisis highlights the need for local communities reliant on rural tourism to enhance their resilience to the risks simultaneously generated by the pandemic and accelerating impacts of climate change. This is important as the effects of these hazards are intertwined and cannot be treated in isolation. We explore community responses and resilience through case study Quebrada Verde, Peru, a small rural community in the Andes Mountains. Specifically, we report on a qualitative examination involving in-depth semi-structured interviews and focus groups with key informants from the community, supplemented by relevant documentary analysis. Drawing on community resilience and social networks perspectives, we find that the community's preparedness to both threats is unbalanced. On one hand, the community eco-tourism system has developed sufficient tools to adapt to the temporary effects of COVID-19 derived from the community's self-organization skills and topophilia. Specifically, the community possesses a cohesive social structure, it has a solid cultural identity rooted in its customs and traditions, and maintains a social humour that enables it to see the positive aspects of adversity. On the other hand, the analysis of the measures towards strengthening the resilience to climate change delivers mixed results. In particular, the relationship that the community has built with other local organizations to successfully prevent and react to climate change is weak. Therefore, stronger efforts towards bridging this gap must be implemented in order to sustain the wider social network of such organizations, of which the community is a part. This would enable further development and implementation of appropriate risk management strategies to counteract climate change, enhancing the community's resilience of its eco-tourism system to this emergent threat. Importantly, this finding might be relevant to other local communities seeking to improve their resilience to COVID-19 and climate change.
Gastronomy is a fundamental aspect of culture in daily life, through which tourists can discover the cultural heritage of the places they visit. Therefore, culinary pleasure is a decisive factor in choosing a travel destination; at the same time, it is essential for shaping tourists’ satisfaction regarding their travel experience. This research seeks to study the gastronomic experiences of foreign tourists visiting the city of Puno (Peru) during the celebration of the festival of the Virgen de la Calendaria, recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage event by UNESCO. The results of this research highlighted the existence of three groups of tourists (referred to as survivors, enjoyers and experiencers) based on their perceptions of gastronomic experiences in the city. We also concluded that there are significant differences in each of the groups in terms of their motivation for visiting the city, based on gastronomy. Finally, the results allow us to conclude that the levels of tourist satisfaction are different, depending on their attitude toward gastronomy, as classified by the groupings obtained.
This study's main objective is to determine whether there is any relationshio between the disaster risk management plan and the environmental culture of high school students in the Flagship Educational Institution-EEI Ricardo Bentín, district of Rímac; with the purpose of statistically establishing an association between the development of an environmental culture in students and an instrument of educational management. In this case, the disaster risk management plan, which is part of the management tools that any educational institution should have implemented. To this end, a population of 167 high school fifth graders was considered, of which 117 students were taken as sample. The study developed a quantitative, basic type approach of correlational, descriptive level, and cross, non-experimental design. The instrument used for the study was the measurement questionnaire Risk Management Plan and Environmental Culture. The general hypothesis of an existinf relationship between the risk management plan and environmental disaster culture of high school students the IEE Ricardo Bentín, Rímac-Lima, 2013 was proposed and determined, though according to the statistical results, this relationship is not significant but, on the contrary, low; suggesting that the development of environmental culture in students might be determined by other factors.
El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar las dinámicas territoriales vinculadas a los cambios de uso de tierra en la cuenca baja del río Chilca de la región Lima, desde el año 1975 al año 2018. El análisis se realizó aplicando técnicas cualitativas como entrevistas a profundidad, grupos focalizados y talleres de línea de tiempo con informantes claves, luego ello se contrastó con los resultados del procesamiento de las imágenes satelitales correspondientes, en un ambiente SIG, según el modelo CORINE Land Cover, modelo europeo de coberturas de tierra. Los resultados del análisis de esos 43 años, llegaron a identificar que las áreas industriales e infraestructura y urbanizadas son las que han tenido una expansión considerable; mientras que las coberturas de áreas sin o con poca vegetación y las áreas agrícolas fueron las que han sufrido una mayor reducción. Esta situación ha generado una serie de dinámicas en el territorio del área de estudio, que se manifiesta en evidentes procesos de territorialización y desterritorialización de actividades y procesos socionaturales como la amenaza al patrimonio cultural de Bandurria y las chacras hundidas, incremento del empleo y problemas sociales, entre otros. Esta situación está vinculada a procesos propios del crecimiento de las ciudades, en este caso de la ciudad de Lima.
El estudio se encuentra enfocado en el análisis del potencial turístico del espacio rural del distrito de Lachaqui, el cual permitió enmarcar el objetivo del trabajo que, a la vez, ha podido determinar y encaminar la investigación. La situación del área de estudio se vincula a una roblemática común en muchos espacios rurales del país, pues presentan recursos turísticos sin serlos oficialmente, debido a que no se encuentran registrados en el inventario del Ministerio de Comercio Exterior y Turismo. Además, la situación en la que se encuentra el sistematurístico, con base en los elementos que lo conforman, han permitido analizar el potencial turístico del área de estudio mediante un modelo basado en una matriz que permite determinar la potencialidad turística. El estudio utiliza un método de carácter mixto, pues ha logrado combinar métodos cualitativos y cuantitativos. El resultado más significativo ha sido que el espacio rural de Lachaqui presenta una mediana o regular potencialidad, y ello se explica por la situación actual de cada componente del sistema turístico dentro del área de estudio. Por ello, la planificación del turismo con un enfoque territorial, donde se conjugan los procesos sociales y naturales con empoderamiento de la dinámica comunal, y la prevalencia de la sostenibilidad sobre la rentabilidad, será relevante para elevar la potencialidad del espacio rural de Lachaqui.
El artículo aborda el estudio del submercado de lotización informal en suelo agrícola en la ciudad de Lima. El marco teórico considera el proceso de mercantilización por el que atraviesa la sociedad y las ciudades peruanas y ubica a los submercados bajo la comprensión de conceptos sociológicos como “campo” y habitus. Expone un breve estado del arte de la aproximación latinoamericana y las consideraciones metodológicas de un estudio mayormente de tipo cualitativo. Se aborda el estudio de caso Chacarilla del Norte en el distrito de Carabayllo, Lima, y efectúa una comparación con otros submercados de suelo formales e informales.
