ROSITANO, Florencia  and  CIVEIRA, Gabriela. Servicios de los ecosistemas en áreas urbanas y periurbanas: su reconocimiento por distintos actores sociales. Cuad. urbano [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.34, pp.31-44. ISSN 1853-3655.

Millions of people reside in urban and periurban ecosystems, exerting high pressure on natural resources, affecting their sustainability. The United Nations Organization promotes, in the Sustainable Development Goals, the conservation of Ecosystem Services (ES) by social actors. The level of ES recognition is relevant to maintain sustainability in these ecosystems. The objective of this work was to analyse the level of recognition of ES provided by urban and periurban ecosystems by different social actors. For this, a study was carried out based on a global bibliographic review. Social actors (local residents, experts, decision makers) recognized that urban and periurban ecosystems are providers of a wide range of ES (provision, regulation and cultural). This work constitutes a conceptual base to approach, in a holistic way, the society-nature relations.

Keywords : Sustainability; bibliographic review; local population; experts; decision makers.
