Linkage Between Inhabitants and Eastern Mountains Range of Bogota (EMRB)

Abstract

The Eastern Mountain Range of Bogota (EMRB) is an identifying element of Bogotá city. Daily view is a way of relating to it.  However, there are options in the real linkage with this reserve area, given its importance and its positives effects on citizens, which at the moment are not being considered; this lack of physical integration generates the essential question of this paper and is: how can we generate links with this environmental reserve area? This article shows part of the results obtained after the implementation of two methodological phases associated with the doctoral research. The first phase: interviews with experts on the subject and the second phase, a survey for the general public. These results are oriented to clearly see the different actions that can be established to really integrate this territory to the city and its inhabitants. The research is framed in a theoretical content associated with Beauty, its respective perception and the various activities that can be derived from the awareness of this beauty in doing, education and organization. These conclusions provided by the study, give an approximation in terms of proposals by real actions in the city, from governmental entities and also from the citizens in reference to their environment. From the recognition of their environmental values and in terms of the different dynamic relationships and possible processes.
