Full Description
The book takes a multidisciplinary approach to the spatial configuration of the Galapagos Islands from the human dimension and the socio-ecological interactions of the borders, territories, and places that build up the archipelago, using San Cristóbal Island as a case study. It does not limit itself to the division of the colonized area versus the national park but examines the dynamics that exist among the numerous socio-ecological structures that compose the space. It studies the administration and formation of the physical infrastructure in both urban and rural contexts, as well as essential services such as water and energy. The book aims to demonstrate that the design of human components should be understood as an integral part of the conservation, planning, and management of the protected areas of the archipelago. It provides a first guide so that the future design of society is aware of the fragility of ecosystems, using the Galapagos Islands as a referential model.
