Description
Summary:This article analyzes the incorporation of normative principles of governance in the management of protected areas on the Peninsula of Baja California, Mexico, during the period 2007-2011. A review of the literature permitted an evaluation of the following indicators: effectiveness, efficiency, participation, inclusiveness, and equality. It was found that important changes leading toward improved governance have taken place at the administrative level. However, these changes are still insufficient to bring about greater stakeholder involvement; therefore, continued improvement is necessary for governmental management practices and refining participatory mechanisms. En este artículo se analiza la incorporación de los principios normativos de la gobernanza en la gestión de las áreas naturales protegidas de la península de Baja California en el período 2007-2011. A través de una revisión documental, se evaluaron la eficacia, eficiencia, participación, inclusión y equidad. Se encontró que la administración presenta cambios que tienden a mejorar su gobernanza. Sin embargo, éstos aún son insuficientes para incorporar a los actores sociales, por lo que es necesario continuar mejorando las prácticas gubernamentales y afinar los mecanismos de participación.
