    The effects of climate change are evident at a global level and increasingly recurrent at a local level. Urban areas suffer the effects of the climatic phenomenon and rural areas are increasingly prone to the consequences of a lack of planning in environmental terms, mitigation and adaptation actions. Local development focuses on the priority challenges of the villages, however, the impact of climate change is not yet recognized and addressed as urgent. Local practices are based on ancestral knowledge and provide localized solutions to the various challenges faced by the community, such as floods and landslides. Similarly, these community practices can contribute to local climate action. The research analyzes local actions promoted by community practices and ancestral knowledge in the face of climate change in the context of the agricultural and historical canton called Colta, located in the province of Chimborazo, Ecuador. The study is documentary and field-based with a qualitative approach and is developed through direct observation, documentary review and analysis, and interviews with strategic actors. The results expose the need to link local knowledge and practices to territorial planning through what are locally called “sustainable agricultural production units” to propose initiatives from the local municipality with the help of non-governmental organizations in a multilevel governance model. Recognition of local identity in planning instruments will enable the achievement of a strategic and appropriate plan for the community in the search for collective benefit.

    CLIMATE PLANNING AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT: ACTORS AND CLIMATE CHANGE MEASURES
    (2024)
    Llacas Vicuña, Luis Deliberto  
    Urban development based on anthropogenic systems led to evident urban transformations on a global and local scale. Climate change is the product of these transformations, characterized by weather patterns and ecological systems alterations. These alterations cause impacts on urban dynamics, which generate severe social consequences. It becomes imperative to assume the inevitability of the climate phenomenon and adopt a new management model with adaptation and mitigation actions. The research addresses the climatic phenomenon in Ecuador, specifically in the urban area of Riobamba, emphasizing its planning instruments. The objective is to recognize the scope of local instruments and plans related to climate change and to identify actors involved through a map of actors according to their level of engagement and support for climate change action. The research contemplates a descriptive methodology with a qualitative approach using theoretical and argumentative techniques. The research considers documentary and fieldwork through methods such as documentary analysis, unstructured observation, in-depth interviews with strategic actors, case studies, and self-completed perception surveys of available subjects, corresponding to an exploratory and descriptive level. The results show that the local government did not consider initiatives aimed at climate planning and, despite programs and projects that seek to solve environmental problems, they need to be developed in detail or linked as measures against climate change. © 2024 ISEC Press.

    The research seeks to make visible and analyze the work done by the local government of Riobamba canton with a focus on decentralization as a territorial planning tool through the implementation of rural technical offices called “Riobamba Wasi”. The main objective is to analyze the implementation process and its different stages of execution, as well as to expose the main problems and benefits found, in the search for equitable development of the territory with established strategies. The study is based on a qualitative and quantitative approach through documentary and field work with an exploratory and descriptive level. The results show benefits in the deconcentration processes in the rural parishes of Cacha and Quimiag. This article concludes that the implemented approach improved public administration in rural parishes by 65%, reduced bureaucratic procedures by 43%, and optimized staffing through personnel redistribution among parishes, eliminating the need for new hires. Additionally, there was a 22% increase in public participation in the preparation of participatory budgets. It also concludes that continuous evaluation of the impact is essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of these projects.
