Landscape study of the Mexico-Xochimilco-Campestre lagoon system. A wetland Ramsar site within a desert city in Northwest Mexico

The Mexico-Xochimilco-Campestre lagoon system is part of the System of Remnant Wetlands of the Colorado River Delta, considered essential wetlands for the water maintenance of a desert city like Mexicali. However, this lagoon system has been ignored in the urban planning of the city. Through the lan...

However, this lagoon system has been ignored in the urban planning of the city. Through the landscape analysis methodology, three landscape units were obtained: a lagoon system, an agricultural area, and an urban periphery. The urban periphery area obtained the lowest value for visual quality, while the lagoon system obtained the highest value. The SWOT analysis indicates the existence of attractive landscape units with eco-tourism and conservation potential, but regulatory restrictions and ignorance on the part of the population complicate their management and appropriation of these landscape units. The results of the survey show that the population with the longest residence time in the city has the greatest knowledge of the existing lagoons, as well as being the most proactive in the improvement proposals for the landscape of the lagoon system. The information generated will be used for the design of channel management and eco-tourism activities, as well as the proposal of socio-cultural activities and environmental education for the population to appropriate and help in the conservation and protection of this wetlands system. El sistema lagunar México-Xochimilco-Campestre forma parte del Sistema de Humedales Remanentes del Delta del Río Colorado, considerados humedales imprescindibles para el mantenimiento hídrico de una ciudad desértica como Mexicali. Sin embargo, este sistema lagunar ha sido ignorado en la planeación urbana de la ciudad. A través de la metodología de análisis del paisaje se obtuvieron tres unidades de paisaje: sistema lagunar, área agrícola y periferia urbana. El área de la periferia urbana obtuvo el menor valor de calidad visual, mientras que el sistema lagunar obtuvo el valor mayor. El análisis FODA indica la existencia de unidades de paisaje atractivas y con potencial eco-turístico y de conservación, pero las restricciones normativas y el desconocimiento por parte de la población complican su manejo y apropiación de estas unidades de paisaje. Los resultados de la encuesta muestran que la población con mayor tiempo de residencia en la ciudad tiene mayor conocimiento de las lagunas existentes, así como también es la más proactiva en las propuestas de mejoramiento del paisaje del sistema lagunar. La información generada se usará para el diseño del manejo de cauces y de actividades eco-turísticas, así como la propuesta de actividades socioculturales y de educación ambiental para que la población se apropie y ayude en la conservación y protección de este sistema de humedales.
