| Summary: | Public spaces belonging to the Petare Parish, of the Sucre Municipality, in the Region Capital Venezuela, have been invaded by informal trade, affecting the quality of the urban environment. The objective of this research was to prospectively identify factors of the urban environmental management, to rescue Petare metro station from the perspective of sustainable development. To this end, 28 brainstorming meetings were held with representatives of different social groups (80 people) that live in the public space studied. First, eight meetings were held to identify the 35 most influential factors from the perspective of the participants. From based on these factors, a survey was conducted on site (Petare metro station) with 575 participants, to identify the direct influence of each of the actors in the problem. During 10 meetings, held according to the survey results, and applying Pareto technique to assess direct classification, the 16 most influential factors were obtained. In the last ten meetings, prospective methods were used to identify the hidden influential variables for the development of a recovery plan for the site. Results indicated that healthy social interaction and informal trade restriction are potential target variables that allowed the generation of a feasible short and medium term management plan, sustainable over time, in sound governance of space. The most striking conclusion was that citizen participation aimed at recognizing the variable environment, allows the identification of influential factors of urban management in public spaces that for different reasons have been violated with activities that do not correspond to their function as part of the urban context. |
