Negative impacts of environmental degradation and climate change are exacerbated when they co-occur in a single region, threatening people's way of life. In addition, historical and territorial processes generate a complex mosaic of interactions of residents and nonresidents, with a wide diversity of livelihoods. This generates a series of social, environmental and political conflicts in the territory. These conflicts have triggered an accelerated process of degradation, overexploitation and pressure on the Lacustrine Zone of Xochimilco (LZX). Therefore, research on how people’s opinions and perceptions into decisions could help to generate a baseline for further collaboration. We documented the perceptions of nonresidents that are involved in decision making in the LZX in terms of degradation and climate change impacts and their opinions on the actions that could help strengthen the resilience of this area. According to our results, environment and culture were the most relevant features of the LZX, while social and institutional features were the most problematic ones. Additionally, nonresident actors emphasized the tendency of the LZX to collapse, which could become even more likely due to the impacts of climate change. To address these problems, restoring the “ chinampa ” type of production and implementing alternative tourism were the most frequently proposed actions, while training, involving stakeholders, and strengthening governance were the most frequently proposed strategies.

土地退化和气候变化下的认知和可持续行动:以墨西哥城残余湿地为例

环境退化和气候变化的负面影响在一个地区同时发生时会加剧,威胁到人们的生活方式。此外,历史和领土进程产生了居民和非居民相互作用的复杂马赛克,生计多种多样。这在该地区产生了一系列社会、环境和政治冲突。这些冲突导致霍奇米尔科湖区 (LZX) 加速退化、过度开发和压力。因此,研究人们对决策的看法和看法如何有助于为进一步合作建立基线。我们记录了参与 LZX 决策的非居民对退化和气候变化影响的看法,以及他们对有助于加强该地区复原力的行动的看法。根据我们的结果,环境和文化是 LZX 最相关的特征,而社会和制度特征是最有问题的特征。此外,非居民行为者强调了 LZX 崩溃的趋势,由于气候变化的影响,这种情况更有可能发生。为了解决这些问题,恢复“chinampa”类型的生产和实施替代旅游是最常提出的行动,而培训、利益相关者参与和加强治理是最常提出的策略。
