REGENERATIVE DESIGN APPLIED TO TOURISM: A METHODOLOGY FOR THE SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION OF TERRITORIES
Abstract
Este artículo presenta la metodología de Diseño Regenerativo para Territorios y Comunidades (DRTC), desarrollada en Brasil, como un enfoque aplicado para la transformación de territorios afectados por procesos socioecológicos y económicos degenerativos. Desde una perspectiva sistémica y de investigación aplicada, describe un modelo estructurado en seis fases que integra análisis territorial, cocreación, gobernanza y monitoreo regenerativo. Adicionalmente, propone un marco conceptual que posiciona la sostenibilidad, el turismo responsable y la regeneración como dimensiones complementarias. Los resultados evidencian impactos en el desarrollo territorial, el fortalecimiento comunitario y la dinamización de economías locales.
