          Abstract

          Resumen: El presente artículo realiza un análisis sobre la importancia del abordaje de los servicios ecosistémicos en el ordenamiento territorial, iniciando con una revisión bibliográfica del concepto de servicios ecosistémicos y los beneficios que se obtienen al trabajar bajo este enfoque, incluyendo las principales formas de clasificación de dichos bienes y servicios. Se repasa el concepto y los objetivos de ordenamiento territorial y cómo el plan regulador se constituye como la principal herramienta para incidir en el territorio en Costa Rica, para luego analizar la importancia del ordenamiento para garantizar la sostenibilidad de los servicios ecosistémicos y por lo tanto la necesidad de considerar dichos servicios en los procesos de planificación del territorio sin omitir los desafíos que implica este abordaje. A manera de ejemplo se examina la experiencia de la ciudad de Damasco (Oregón, EEUU) y se exponen los principales criterios para la consideración de los servicios ecosistémicos en los Planes Reguladores. Finalmente, se presentan una serie de conclusiones en las que se evidencia que aún falta mucho camino por recorrer en este ámbito, destacando que la incorporación del enfoque de servicios ecosistémicos en el ordenamiento territorial se torna imperativo para alcanzar los objetivos de desarrollo sustentable.

          Abstract: The present article analyzes the importance of addressing ecosystem services in territorial planning, starting with a bibliographic review of the concept of ecosystem services and the benefits obtained by working under this approach, including the main ways of classifying these goods and services. The concept and objectives of territorial planning and the way in which zoning (known in Costa Rica as Regulatory Plan) is the main tool influencing Costa Rican territorial planning are reviewed. Next, the importance of planning to guarantee the sustainability of ecosystem services was analyzed and, therefore, the need to consider these services in territorial planning processes without omitting the challenges underlying this approach. As an example, the experience in the city of Damascus (Oregon, USA) is examined and the main criteria for the consideration of ecosystem services in its zoning plan are presented. Finally, a series of conclusions are exhibited that expose the long road ahead in this area, while highlighting the imperativeness of incorporating the ecosystem services approach in territorial planning to achieve the objectives of sustainable development.

            Global change and the ecology of cities.

            Urban areas are hot spots that drive environmental change at multiple scales. Material demands of production and human consumption alter land use and cover, biodiversity, and hydrosystems locally to regionally, and urban waste discharge affects local to global biogeochemical cycles and climate. For urbanites, however, global environmental changes are swamped by dramatic changes in the local environment. Urban ecology integrates natural and social sciences to study these radically altered local environments and their regional and global effects. Cities themselves present both the problems and solutions to sustainability challenges of an increasingly urbanized world.
