Abstract
<jats:p>The limited resources available to a community are vital for sustainable development. Therefore, their efficient use is a challenge for communities living within these areas. The incorporation of strategic designs allows for the formulation of models based on real-world data, leading to the development of strategies that benefit all stakeholders in the system. This research employs systems thinking and a multidisciplinary approach to design an analytical methodology. The procedures and techniques generated will be applied in an orderly, systematic, and rigorous manner to achieve the objectives. The results present the Systemic Methodology for Strategic Design in Protected Natural Areas, comprised of six phases: System Identification, Systemic Diagnosis, Indicator Generation, Interpretation for Strategy Design, and Integration and Presentation of Results. Finally, it serves as a baseline for other research with similar characteristics.</jats:p>
