MUNOZ GUERRERO, Diego Andrés  and  GOMEZ-ZOTANO, José. Methodological Proposal for the Management of Paramo Landscapes Under the Latin American Landscape Initiative (LALI). Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.2, pp.225-250. ISSN 0123-3769.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01233769.5850.

This research proposes a methodology for the implementation of the LALI on the Paramos of Colombia. The proposal retook and adapted some aspects of other methodologies. For its calibration it was applied to three paramos in southern Colombia: Galeras, Paja Blanca and Chiles (Department of Nariño). This proposal is structured in the following stages: (a) Identification of landscapes. (b) Analysis of landscape transformations in recent years. (c) Prospective simulation of landscape. (d) Qualification of landscape. (e) Policies or landscape management proposals. The results of the method allowed us to establish holistically major scenic necessary actions, according to the current characteristics of the paramo landscapes such as its historical relevance, future trends and above all the preferences of community.

Keywords : cultural heritage; landscape; landscape value; paramo; sustainable planning.
