Concatenación de capitales culturales, ambientales, políticos y físicos en el desarrollo del turismo sostenible de la colina de San Sebastian, ciudad de Cochabamba
Abstract
La Coronilla representa un símbolo de la bravura y el heroísmo de la mujer boliviana al hacer frente a los españoles en 1812, por lo cual ésta es recordada cada 27 de mayo. Sin embargo, esta colina es también una isla de la biodiversidad a pesar de ser perturbada por construcciones físicas que han alterado el paisaje natural. Estas acciones la han convertido en un caso de éxito interesante donde se concatenan los capitales cultural, natural, físico y político, que pueden ser abordados por el desarrollo del turismo sostenible para mejorar el flujo turístico en el departamento, así como también crear nuevos circuitos turísticos y otros emprendimientos empresariales sociales con el manejo de productos forestales no maderables para sustentar la conservación de este sitio histórico y natural en medio de la ciudad de Cochabamba.
La Coronilla represents bravery and heroines' symbol of the Bolivian women to fight Spaniards in 1812; by this act, they are honoured every May 27th. This hill is also an island for biodiversity and in spite of being disturbed by construction that affected the natural landscape. These actions had turned La Coronilla in a successful study case in which four capitals (natural, physical, political and Cultural) are gathered in order to be employed by the sustainable tourism development to enhance the international tourism flux and the crea- tion of new tourism circuits and regenerative social endeavours such as the Non-Wood Forestal Products to finance the maintenance and conservation of this historical hill located at the centre of the Cochabamba City.
