LOPEZ BARRERA, Ellie Anne; FUENTES COTES, Milena Margarita  and  PLATA RANGEL, Ángela María. Perception of actors involved in the conservation status of the Torca-Guaymaral wetland, Bogotá-Colombia. Estudios Socioterritoriales [online]. 2017, vol.21. ISSN 1853-4392.

The Torca-Guaymaral wetland is located in a strategic area of ecological connectivity in the northern region of Bogota city. However, the complexity related to the actors and the governance of the territory, have prevented the socio-ecological system development towards a process of environmental preservation, thus resulting in the deterioration of environmental quality. In this context, the objective of this study is to approach the perception of actors involved in the wetland conservation process, while creating a space for exchange of experiences and knowledge between them, formulating joint solutions and improve the management of the socio-ecological system. Methodologies involve the use of social cartography and stakeholder dialogue, to identify the perception of actors involved in the conservation status of the Torca-Guaymaral wetland, for an initial diagnosis of the current environmental situation of the ecosystem.

Keywords : Land use; Governance; Social cartography; Stakeholders.
