Abstract

El objetivo de la tesina “Estrategias para la planificación de una Vía Verde en la Barranca de Metlac, Municipios de Fortín e Ixtaczoquitlán, Veracruz, México”, fue proponer un conjunto de estrategias que ayuden a la planificación de un proyecto de Vía Verde en el contexto de los municipios antes mencionados. Con un enfoque de investigación cualitativa, se empleó un diseño mixto conformado por un diseño fenomenológico y estudio de caso comparativo. Los resultados se describen en 35 estrategias desarrolladas en 14 etapas. Las principales acciones identificadas en el éxito de los proyectos Vía Verde de la Sierra y las Vías Verdes Jalisco han sido; la voluntad política para la gestión del proyecto, el financiamiento público, una imagen corporativa, una gestión permanente, el aprovechamiento responsable del patrimonio natural, cultural (tangible e intangible) y el patrimonio ferroviario de sus paisajes, y para que en el contexto mexicano tenga éxito, el proyecto debe servir primero a las comunidades locales y resultará imperante la participación social. Finalmente se concluye que el área conocida como Barranca de Metlac es factible para desarrollar un proyecto de Vía Verde y centros culturales en las antiguas estaciones de ferrocarril. _______________ STRATEGIES FOR THE PLANNING OF A GREENWAY IN THE METLAC CANYON, MUNICIPALITIES OF FORTIN AND IXTACZOQUITLAN, VERACRUZ, MEXICO.
