Resumen
El proyecto final de graduación comprende un análisis de los espacios de
esparcimiento y recreación, tanto públicos como privados que gestiona e impulsa la
municipalidad de San Rafael en la provincia de Heredia, propiamente en el distrito
de Ángeles, con el fin de plantear una propuesta estratégica de promoción turística.
Cabe mencionar que el esparcimiento y recreación son elementos esenciales en el
desarrollo humano local, ya que permite mejorar la calidad de vida de la ciudadanía.
El turismo es un sector de suma importancia en la economía costarricense,
por ende, encaja con el esparcimiento y recreación de las personas y sobre todo
conlleva relación con el ordenamiento territorial, ya que este último debe garantizar
espacios verdes y de ocio a los habitantes.
La investigación responde a un objetivo general centrado en el análisis de la
gestión e impulso que realiza el gobierno local en los espacios, además, abarca tres
objetivos específicos los cuales se enfocan en un diagnóstico del sector social,
económico, político-organizacional y turístico, al tener el panorama del distrito, se
profundiza en conocer la opinión de los actores y de la población acerca de los
espacios y, por último, en el planteamiento de la propuesta estratégica de promoción
turística.
Seguidamente, el trabajo de campo realizado consistió en entrevistas semi
estructuradas a los diferentes actores clave en el distrito, se realizaron de manera
presencial y virtual y se visitaron los espacios para aplicar un sondeo de opinión a
los visitantes. De igual forma, se realizaron reuniones con la Municipalidad de San
Rafael, con la Dirección Nacional de Desarrollo de la Comunidad (DINADECO) y
con la Cámara de Turismo y Comercio del cantón.
La información recolectada permitió conocer que uno de los motores
principales de la economía de San Rafael es el turismo, asimismo, el distrito tiene
un amplio tejido organizacional, con distintas asociaciones y grupos que buscan el
bien común de la comunidad, así también, se identificó su rol en la gestión e impulso
de los espacios tanto públicos como privados.
De manera complementaria, se identificó la percepción de la ciudadanía
usuaria, qué tipo de población visita el área en estudio (en relación con la edad,
lugar de procedencia y actividades de su preferencia en los espacios), además, se
investigó el nivel de satisfacción en relación con aspectos como el acceso,
movilidad, higiene, comercio y seguridad, entre otros.
La principal conclusión es que el distrito de Ángeles posee mucho potencial
en cuanto a recursos naturales y diversidad de espacios, sus principales visitantes
provienen del Valle Central y las actividades que más se practican son de índole
deportivo. Asimismo, el papel de los actores tanto locales como externos es
fundamental en el quehacer diario de la municipalidad.
Las recomendaciones de la investigación se orientan a la articulación de las
entidades comunales e institucionales en pro del uso de los espacios, en las
alianzas con los comercios locales y encadenamientos productivos.

promocionar los espacios públicos y privados de esparcimiento y recreación, se
compone de un diagnóstico que contempla las fortalezas, oportunidades,
debilidades y amenazas de los espacios.
El objetivo es posicionar al distrito Ángeles como un destino turístico, éste se
divide en tres objetivos específicos direccionados en el aspecto económico,
organizacional y turístico, cada objetivo comprende diferentes líneas de acción y
estrategias. Su último elemento es una matriz con funcionalidad para la evaluación
y seguimiento de la propuesta.
