Análisis de los centros primados vinculados al turismo en el Parque Nacional Puyehue

Abstract

The functional coherence of the productive system associated to the Puyehue National Park (Chilean North Patagonia) is analyzed, in order to evaluate if the changes in the economic structure of the main centers of the regions: Los Rios (Valdivia) and Los Lagos (Osorno y Puerto Montt) in the years 2007 and 2012 era promoting the park development. Field of influence, commuting analysis and Davies model are used jointly to study the functional dynamic, economic structure, labor mobility and functionality of the location of the Park and the primal center of its neighbor regions. The results show that the changes in the economic structure had improve the main sectors of the centers, weakening the potential development of the Park. Especially the lacks of connectivity development and the small supply of good and services of the Park are the main constraint that arise from the analysis to increase the number and length of visits. The information generate in the paper should be a key input in designing a policy focus of promoting the developed of the Chilean Puyehue National Park
