Abstract: [ES] Se investiga las diferencias en la interacción y la percepción de la problemática ambiental en la Reserva Nacional del Titicaca entre los pobladores rurales y urbanos. Se aplicaron encuestas y entrevistas y se utilizó una prueba de comparación de proporciones. Los resultados evidencian diferencias significativas en el perfil socioeconómico de los pobladores, la interacción rural está asociada con la fuente de recurso para la alimentación y ganado, y en lo urbano la reserva representa una fuente de recreación. La contaminación de la bahía aparece como el problema principal, y en lo rural, se percibe la sobreexplotación de recursos naturales. [EN] This study investigates the differences in the interaction and perception of the environmental problems in the Titicaca National Reserve between households in the rural and urban areas of its buffer-zone. We conducted semi-structured interviews and surveys and a test of difference. Results show significant differences in the socioeconomic profile of the households. Rural interaction is associated with the use of the resources as a source of food and livestock, while in the urban area it is associated to recreation. The pollution of the lake was the main environmental problem identified. However, rural households perceive the overexploitation of natural resources.
