Abstract
El aumento de visitantes en áreas protegidas genera desafíos para la orientación de los usuarios y el acceso a información sobre rutas de senderismo, especialmente en lugares donde la conectividad a internet es limitada. En este contexto, el objetivo de esta investigación fue desarrollar cartografía temática y datos espaciales en formatos interoperables para su uso en aplicaciones de navegación offline, con el propósito de apoyar la navegación en rutas de senderismo en el Parque Nacional Nonguén. La metodología incluyó un diagnóstico del área de estudio mediante la recopilación y organización de información geoespacial proveniente de fuentes institucionales y plataformas colaborativas, además del análisis de recorridos registrados por usuarios. Con esta información se elaboraron productos cartográficos en formatos GPX y GeoPDF los cuales fueron utilizados en aplicaciones de navegación como OsmAnd y Avenza Maps. Estos productos fueron probados en terreno con usuarios y evaluados mediante la escala de usabilidad SUS. Los resultados mostraron una valoración positiva de las herramientas, destacando el uso del formato GeoPDF en Avenza Maps por su facilidad de uso durante el recorrido. La cartografía temática y los datos espaciales interoperables pueden aportar al acceso a información territorial y apoyar la gestión del turismo en áreas protegidas.
The increase in visitors to protected areas creates challenges for user orientation and access to information about hiking routes, especially in places where internet connectivity is limited. In this context, the objective of this research was to develop thematic cartography and spatial data in interoperable formats for use in offline navigation applications, with the purpose of supporting navigation on hiking routes in the Nonguén National Park. The methodology included a diagnosis of the study area through the collection and organization of geospatial information from institutional sources and collaborative platforms, as well as the analysis of routes recorded by users. Based on this information, cartographic products were created in GPX and GeoPDF formats, which were used in navigation applications such as OsmAnd and Avenza Maps. These products were tested in the field with users and evaluated using the SUS usability scale. The results showed a positive evaluation of the tools, highlighting the GeoPDF format in Avenza Maps for its ease of use during the route. Thematic cartography and interoperable spatial data can contribute to improving access to territorial information and support tourism management in protected areas.
