- Abstract
An evaluation of the environmental impacts was developed in the Laguna Azul Provincial Geological Reserve (Santa Cruz, Argentina), a body of water that occupies three nested volcanic craters, of particular beauty and tourist attraction; for which reason it is object of tourist-recreational uses. However, it lacks planning and control. The objective was to analyze the environmental repercussions of this situation, in order to propose management measures that allow to conserve their natural conditions and to order public use. To do this, qualitative cause / effect matrices and the Impact Importance Matrix were applied. The greatest impacts were observed by the circulation of visitors in areas of slopes and fragile microenvironments, such as wetland meadow. The most affected factors were the soil, the flora and the landscape. Management strategies are proposed for a responsible public use.
