I am convinced that Las Terrenas in danger of breaking down as a viable community consequences of unchecked growth, the high cost of electricity and high cost of rents and property. There are also quality of life factors affecting the crisis such as the accumulation of waste, air pollution, lack of parking chaos in the system, high noise levels, high rental costs, high food costs, high cost of light, insufficient jobs and low educational levels, and the lack of standards and standards for municipal function.
The term "viability" refers to the characteristics necessary for a community will be needed for a reasonable lifestyle. By way of example, the lack of parking does not prevent the community still exists, but it makes the quality of life is reduced for those vehicles or for visitors in their vehicles. A high crime rate, another example, does not prevent but would continue to live quality of life to deteriorate completely. Viability is to raise levels of quality of life while reducing or eliminating factors that prevent it.
I am equally convinced that the future of our community viability may well depend on a single factor, which if well used raise all existing levels of viability and create many new and equally attractive . I mean the river Las Terrenas.
River Las Terrenas could become the center of economic, social, cultural, craft, sports and community education for future the biggest and best hope. It is not good to depend on a single factor (the beaches), economic diversification is desirable and indispensable. The river Las Terrenas is fraught with possibilities and you can imagine giving birth to a park-strip go from the beach to the area of \u200b\u200bCaño Seco, with areas devoted to recreational areas, boutiques, playgrounds, plazas, craft, amphitheatres, waterfalls, bike trails and water sources, among others.
Giving birth such a project would involve cleaning up the river, removal of the landfill, the eviction of homes in the critical areas but also imply an increasing flow of investment capital and sustainable. Imagine the same creativity, energy and resources have been dedicated to creating environments in Balcones del Atlantico, Puerto Bonito, in the Hotel Bahia Principe and other major local projects, also dedicated to making the river Las Terrenas a tourist attraction 24 / 7 . In addition to its known and popular beaches, Las Terrenas also be heard in an urban area model would be the envy of every other community in the country and you may be able to attract investors who are willing to devote time, money and resources into making this possible .
Park Las Terrenas is a process of urban development within the next five years añadaría added value to the growing infrastructure that has pushed the central government. In addition, an urban development project may help reduce the impact of regrettable absence of a municipal tourism development plan and a plan of socio-economic side, which has resulted in increasing social marginalization and socio-economic latent tension between the many formal and informal economic actors.
What good would it be if architects, educators, the Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Environment, the Municipal Government, legislators, policy makers, community leaders, leaders of associations and relevant technicians sit under one stronghold to plan a new and promising future use as base the river Las Terrenas. I would venture to speculate that unless we devote the attention it deserves the river Las Terrenas could well become not only the most promising hope in mortal thrust for community viability of Las Terrenas. If we want the people to succumb to the worst social evils then let the river as it is, but if we want the people to survive as a people (Community viability) then we have to transform the river Las Terrenas. There is no other way.
