Agregar Etiqueta | Sumario: | In this research, the objective was to generate technical-scientific information on the adaptation and management of the dry forest of the Zapotillo canton and the strategies that have been carried out to adapt. To obtain the information, two methods were applied: i) qualitative (semi-structured interview and survey) and ii) quantitative (meteorological data). The methodological strategy was carried out in three phases: i) preliminary phase, where a bibliographic review and design of instruments for the collection of primary information was carried out; ii) field phase, which consisted of the application of surveys and semi-structured interviews and iii) office phase where the treatment of meteorological data from the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (INAMHI) was carried out, and it was evaluated with perception. The results revealed that the inhabitants of the Zapotillo canton perceive strong changes in the climate during the last 20 years attributed to anthropic activities and divine punishment; the trend of desiccation (droughts) and extreme high temperatures are the climatic drivers of the impacts of greatest concern to the population. Likewise, it was determined that there is a relationship between meteorological data and perception, associated with the experiences and livelihoods that people carry out over time. The proposed adaptation approach highlights adaptation based on ecosystems and gray infrastructure, as well as the need to diversify livelihoods and strengthen human capital on climate change issues that contribute to reducing impacts, acting on early warning signs and promote climate resilience in natural and social systems. Keywords: variability, climate change, adaptation, perception. |
