Abstract

The National Urban Parks Policy (2021) seeks the development of green areas of more than 2 hectares in all the cities of Chile, while recognizing that the management and maintenance of urban parks is one of the main challenges. In order to define a methodology for improving the management and operation of parks and green areas, a case study was carried out aimed at identifying good international practices in sustainability models and management of Urban Parks. Based on this analysis, the methodology defines an "ideal model" and seeks to understand how gaps could be solved and efficient management achieved through the systematization of a catalog: institution, administration, financing and uses. This, together with the characterization of community needs and capacities, makes it possible to define a Tool-kit of instruments for the Sustainability and management of Urban Parks adapted to different municipal’s realities and scales of parks.
