Inventario de parques urbanos para el cumplimiento de la Agenda 2030: el caso de Hermosillo, Sonora

Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze and describe the difficulties in compiling an inventory of urban parks carried out in the municipality of Hermosillo, Sonora. A mixed methodology was applied: a list was obtained from the Parks and Gardens Directorate (DPJ) with the parks served by this dependency. Each park was located and georeferenced by integrating a Geographic Information System for spatial analysis; and interviews were applied to key actors. The results show that there is no complete and exhaustive inventory of parks, whatever the conceptualization that is made of these, and that the DPJ list is due more to administrative and management needs. A limiting factor of this study was the lack of access to public information. It concludes by emphasizing that estimates of indicators based on this list should be taken with reservation in future research.
