ABSTRACT
This research is titled “Integrated management of solid waste and residues as a strategy to prevent negative environmental impacts for the urban area of Chicacao, Suchitepéquez” its specific objectives are, to characterize solid waste and residues from households, market and public roads; Identify and estimate the environmental impacts originated by inadequate management, and design a management plan that will contribute to improve waste management of the study area.
The methodology used included sample weighing of the waste generated over two consecutive weeks in the 246 homes, the waste from the market and public roads with the purpose of calculate environmental indicators, such as per capita production, physical composition and density. The Leopold matrix method was also used for the identification and estimation of environmental impacts generated by the current management, for this purpose data obtained from the environmental indicators, observations and interviews were used. Finally, a plan was proposed to contribute improving waste management within the study area.
The obtained results show that each inhabitant in the urban area of Chicacao generates 0.42 kilograms on daily average, of which 42% is organic, 42% non- recoverable inorganic and 16% recoverable. The estimated organic waste density is to 208.67 kg / cubic meters / week, the recoverable material 73.09 kg / cubic meters
/ week, and the non-recoverable 112.98 kg / cubic meters / week. In addition, it was determined that the coverage of the waste collection service is 19.09%, which means that most of the population does not give adequate management to the residential waste, this is reflected in the seven unauthorized dumps found in the territory.
RESUMEN
La presente investigación se titula “La gestión integrada de residuos y desechos sólidos como estrategia para la prevención de impactos ambientales negativos en el casco urbano del municipio de Chicacao, Suchitepéquez” tiene como objetivos específicos, caracterizar los residuos y desechos sólidos generados a nivel domiciliar, mercado y vías públicas; identificar y valorar los impactos ambientales generados por el inadecuado manejo, y diseñar un plan de manejo que contribuya a mejorar la gestión dentro de área de estudio.
La metodología empleada incluyó el pesaje de los residuos generados durante dos semanas consecutivas en la muestra de 246 viviendas, la totalidad de desechos del mercado y vías públicas con el propósito de calcular los indicadores ambientales, tales como producción per cápita, composición física y densidad. También se utilizó la matriz de Leopold como método para la identificación y valoración de los impactos ambientales que genera el actual manejo, para este fin se utilizaron los datos obtenidos de los indicadores ambientales, observaciones y entrevistas. Al final se generó una propuesta de plan que contribuya a mejorar el manejo de los desechos dentro del área de estudio. |
