Resumen
Este estudio estima el valor social de las soluciones de huertos comunitarios codiseñados y codesarrollados en Nitra, Eslovaquia, en el marco del proyecto IN-HABIT, centrándose en la salud y el bienestar. Se probó un marco ampliado de rentabilidad social de la inversión (SROI) con usuarios de huertos comunitarios, voluntarios y ejecutores de proyectos. Mediante un proceso en el que participaron las partes interesadas, se desarrolló una teoría de cambio en la que se identificaron los siguientes resultados: la mejora de la salud, el bienestar psicológico y la concienciación medioambiental. Se compararon dos enfoques de valoración: el primero implicó la aportación directa de las partes interesadas a través de la valoración contingente y el Juego del Valor de Scholten, que arrojó un SROI de 2,15 € por euro invertido. El segundo enfoque, basado en aproximaciones financieras, arrojó una ratio superior de 4,27 €, lo que subraya la importancia del contexto local en la valoración. Los resultados sugieren que las inversiones en espacios participativos verdes pueden generar un valor social sustancial y duradero, sobre todo en la mejora de la resiliencia de la comunidad, la salud mental y la concienciación medioambiental. Los resultados ponen de relieve los importantes beneficios sociales, medioambientales y comunitarios de la infraestructura verde participativa, especialmente en zonas urbanas desatendidas
