Desde entonces, en la reserva se ha impulsado el ecoturismo, para promover tanto la conservación como el desarrollo humano. A pesar de que en algunas localidades se han tenido efectos positivos desde el punto de visto ecológico, el ecoturismo no ha logrado establecerse como una opción económicamente viable para la población local. Esta limitación pone en cuestión la sustentabilidad de la actividad ecoturística en el área en general e impide que sus beneficios ecológicos se puedan extender en la escala regional. Para analizar las causas de esta situación, el presente trabajo introduce el enfoque de la ecología política, el cual permite analizar el papel de los actores externos involucrados en múltiples escalas que fomentan u obstaculizan el desarrollo del ecoturismo. Los resultados se basan en métodos de trabajo de campo cualitativo, particularmente entrevistas semiestructuradas con expertos locales.Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica2018-11-22info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEvaluado por paresartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/epub+ziphttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/geografica/article/view/1121510.15359/rgac.61-3.5Revista Geográfica de América Central.; Vol. 3 No. 61E (2018): Revista Geográfica de América Central; 97 - 109Revista Geográfica de América Central.; Vol. 3 Núm. 61E (2018): Revista Geográfica de América Central; 97 - 109Revista Geográfica da América Central; v. 3 n. 61E (2018): Revista Geográfica de América Central; 97 - 1092215-25631011-484Xreponame:Portal de Revistas UNAinstname:Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricainstacron:UNAspahttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/geografica/article/view/11215/14304https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/geografica/article/view/11215/14565https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/geografica/article/view/11215/14566acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-07-29T14:44:53Zoai:www.revistas.una.ac.cr:article/11215Portal de revistashttp://revistas.una.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.una.ac.crhttps://revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaiandrea.mora.campos@una.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2019-07-29T14:44:53Portal de Revistas UNA - Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricafalse
