dc.descriptionObjective: To characterize sustainable management in community gardens in Santiago de Cali, Colombia, from a phenomenological perspective, based on the territorial practices and lived experiences of stakeholders involved in these initiatives. Design/Methodology: This descriptive qualitative study adopted a phenomenological perspective and was guided by a deductive approach. The interview protocol was developed and validated by expert consensus. Primary data were collected from two community gardens selected using nonprobability sampling and included interviews with five key stakeholders. Secondary data were obtained through a bibliometric analysis.Findings: The study developed a framework comprising two categories, four subcategories, and 22 items for examining stakeholders’ perspectives on sustainable management. Through the triangulation of literature, expert input, and empirical evidence, a prototype methodology was designed. The methodology consists of three phases and nine components integrated within a holistic framework that supports implementation, monitoring, learning, and continuous improvement in community-based initiatives.Conclusions: The sustainable management of the community gardens studied depends on the coordination of leadership, community participation, governance, and social cohesion. In addition, practices associated with the circular economy, collective learning, and the construction of shared meanings strengthen the community’s commitment to sustainability and contribute to the long-term continuity of these initiatives.Originality: The study integrates local knowledge, empirical evidence, expert judgment, and theoretical frameworks to develop a prototype methodology for the sustainable management of community gardens. Although the proposal is tailored to the gardens studied, it may be adapted to other initiatives with similar characteristics.en-US
dc.descriptionObjetivo: caracterizar desde una perspectiva fenomenológica la gestión sostenible en huertas comunitarias de Santiago de Cali (Colombia) a partir de las expresiones territoriales y experiencias de los actores vinculados a estas iniciativas.Diseño/metodología: se ejecutó una investigación descriptiva con enfoque cualitativo y perspectiva fenomenológica. La investigación fue guiada por el método deductivo y la entrevista se construyó y validó mediante consenso de expertos. La información primaria fue obtenida de dos huertas comunitarias seleccionadas en función de una metodología no probabilística y con base en cinco entrevistas a actores claves. La información secundaria fue obtenida a través del análisis bibliométrico.Resultados: se estructuró un sistema que contempló dos categorías, cuatro subcategorías y veintidós ítems para analizar las expresiones de los actores en relación con la gestión sostenible. Gracias a la triangulación entre literatura, expertos y evidencia empírica, se diseñó un prototipo de metodología compuesto de tres fases, nueve componentes y un esquema holístico que permite la implementación, el seguimiento y el aprendizaje a partir de la mejora continua para implementar iniciativas comunitarias.Conclusiones: la gestión sostenible de las huertas estudiadas depende de la articulación del liderazgo, la participación comunitaria, la gobernanza y la cohesión social. Asimismo, las prácticas de economía circular, el aprendizaje en grupo y la construcción de significados compartidos potencian la apropiación de la sostenibilidad y hacen posible la permanencia de estas iniciativas en el territorio.Originalidad: la investigación implicó la integración de expresiones territoriales, evidencias empíricas, el saber de expertos y los referentes teóricos, de tal modo que se logró construir un prototipo de metodología aplicado a la gestión sostenible de las huertas comunitarias. La propuesta es adaptada a las huertas estudiadas, aunque transferible a otras iniciativas con características similares.es-ES
