Description
Summary:The research aimed to propose innovative territorial foresight strategies to strengthen Gámeza's competitiveness by 2038. A qualitative approach was adopted with a participatory action research approach, replicating the community-based territorial strategic foresight model. Secondary sources, such as scientific databases (Scopus and Google Scholar) and government information, were used to gather information. Regarding primary sources, focus groups were used, along with instruments such as brainstorming and the SWOT matrix. Subsequently, a structural analysis and a stakeholder analysis were systematized using MICMAC and MACTOR software. The resulting scenario was constructed: "Gámeza 2038: Smart and Sustainable Agrotourism Destination." In conclusion, the application of the community-based territorial strategic foresight model facilitated the formulation of innovative strategies and also promoted community empowerment in the projected scenario. Through participatory methodologies, the capacity of local stakeholders to visualize their future, identify development opportunities, and take an active role in territorial transformation was strengthened, consolidating a collaborative and sustainable governance model.
