Summary: | The relevance of the sustainable management of public green spaces (PGSs) has increased as a result of the global trend of urban growth, especially in arid and semi-arid cities where planners are faced with the challenge of maintaining or increasing plant cover (PC) without increasing water consumption. This study analyzed legal and administrative documents concerning the regulatory framework for PGS in the city of Hermosillo. In addition, the floristic composition and PC of a sample of PGSs (n = 112) was estimated and the impact of this framework was determined using a case study. Our results indicate that the afforestation pattern derived from the current regulatory framework is unsustainable, and it results in insufficient PC in green spaces. On average, exotic species accounted for 62% of the afforestation pattern and PC averaged 27%.
La tendencia mundial de crecimiento urbano hace de la gestión sostenible de Espacios Verdes Públicos (EVP) un tema importante, principalmente en ciudades áridas y semiáridas, donde el reto es mantener/incrementar la Cobertura Vegetal (CV) sin aumentar la demanda de agua. Este estudio hizo un análisis documental de textos jurídico- administrativos del marco regulatorio de gestión de EVP. Posteriormente, para conocer el impacto de éste, se estimó la composición florística y la CV de una muestra de EVP (n=112) en un estudio de caso. Se encontró que el marco regulatorio actual no fomenta un patrón de reforestación sostenible y una suficiente CV. En promedio, las especies exóticas representaron 62 por ciento del patrón de reforestación y la CV fue de 27 por ciento. |
