Valoración mediante la matriz de leopold del esia de la regeneración Av. Ferroviaria, cantón Machala, El Oro.

Abstract

The execution of projects, works or activities developed by man have repercussions on the environment, since in the end the components of the ecosystem will always end up alternating and therefore generating an environmental impact. Of course, its magnitude will depend on the characteristics of the work and the area where it will be implemented. The evaluation of environmental impacts will allow us to identify and assess the effects on the components of the environment that certain activities may generate. To achieve this we make use of the different methods of which the Leopold matrix is identified as the method that has the most acceptance to carry out evaluations due to its structural simplicity and easy data management. For this process, the activities to be carried out in the project were previously identified and the environmental components that are going to intervene and that will be subsequently affected were defined. Then, by analyzing and assigning the value of magnitude and importance, those parameters that cause a positive or negative effect on the environment will be identified. In the end, through the subjective assessment of activities and components, it was possible to determine that the unclassified excavation activity is the one that produces the most negative impacts. Regarding the components, the cultural factors are those that received the highest negative score.
