Manejo de áreas protegidas dentro del sistema nacional. Caso Parque Nacional Cajas

Abstract

The general objective of the present work was to identify the determining characteristics for the construction of a management model for the administration of the Cajas National Park, which allows guaranteeing its conservation and sustainability, the historical method was used that will allow us to analyze the advance of the regulations to over time in terms of the administration of protected areas; in the same way, the dogmatic method was applied that will have knowledge about the fundamentals, principles and general notions about protected areas, and through exegesis to interpret the legislative texts. Likewise, the research focused on the study of both national, local and international regulations. When using the analytical method, the interview was used as a tool to obtain the necessary data, this through the formulation of open questions to the interviewees, the same who are experts on the subject. As a result of this research, it could be observed that the appropriate figure for the management and administration of the Cajas National Park is decentralization, since it is the definitive and regular transfer of the attributions and administrative powers of the central government in favor of entities with their own legal personality, they act in their own name and on their own behalf, and the higher body only has supervisory powers, while if we continue with the figure of delegation, the higher body could at any time resume the competence that it has conferred on the body inferior, and attribute it to another organ or exercise it himself, which would mean a setback.
