GEOGRAFIA131692020-02-04T21:55:57Z Qualitative evaluation of socio-environmental sustainability indicators for their selection and application in Costa Rican cities Evaluación cualitativa de indicadores de sostenibilidad socioambiental para su selección y aplicación en ciudades costarricenses Romero-Vargas, Marilyn Bermúdez-Roja, Tania Duque-Gutiérrez, Maritza Socio-environmental indicators Ecological sustainability Costa Rican cities indicadores socioambientales sostenibilidad ecológica ciudades costarricenses From the sustainable development management model, cities must seek balance relationships between natural resources and economic and social development in such a way that the environmental conditions inside and outside these urban spaces do not reach undesirable patterns and conditions. This study arises from the need to possess a system for monitoring the socio-environmental sustainability of cities through criteria and indicators. With the participation of national experts, a preliminary list of 327 indicators was generated which were then grouped based on their characteristics into 82 indicators distributed along 9 distinctive criteria, namely: water, energy, fauna, urban green areas, soil, environmental management, solid and liquid waste management, land use planning and society & governance. By means of bibliographic review, only 43 indicators were found to hold complete and operative information to be evaluated. Through a participative workshop involving the national experts, the theoretical feasibility of applying the selected indicators was evaluated. The final result is a compendium of 19 socio-environmental indicators, which comply with at least 80% pertinence, relevance, robustness and data availability. However, the experts point out that cost, scale and quality are all variables that must be used in selecting, adapting or creating indicators that allow for the monitoring of socio-environmental sustainability in Costa Rican cities. Desde el modelo de gestión del desarrollo sostenible, las ciudades deben procurar unas relaciones de equilibrio entre los recursos naturales y el desarrollo económico y social, de tal forma que las condiciones ambientales dentro y fuera de estos espacios urbanos no alcancen patrones y condiciones no deseadas. Este estudio surge de la necesidad de contar con un sistema de seguimiento de la sostenibilidad socioambiental de las ciudades por medio de criterios e indicadores. Con la participación de expertos nacionales se generó una lista 327 indicadores, los cuales fueron reagrupados según sus características en 82 indicadores distribuidos en 9 criterios: agua, energía, fauna, áreas verdes urbanas, suelo, gestión ambiental, manejo de residuos sólidos y líquidos, ordenamiento del territorio y sociedad & gobernanza. Por medio de revisión bibliográfica, solo 43 indicadores contaron con información completa y operativa para ser evaluados. Mediante taller de expertos nacionales se evalúo la factibilidad teórica de ser aplicados. El resultado final es un compendio de 19 indicadores socioambientales, que cumplen con al menos el 80 % de pertinencia, relevancia, robustez y disponibilidad de datos. Sin embargo, los expertos mencionaron que el costo, la escala y la calidad son variables que deben ser utilizadas para seleccionar, adaptar o construir indicadores que permitan el seguimiento de la sostenibilidad socioambiental para ciudades de Costa Rica.
