Evaluación ambiental y programa de sustentabilidad y sostenibilidad del recurso suelo para el sector residencial de la vía Machala Pasaje

Abstract

The Machala-Pasaje road, extends around 7.98 km, being an area initially called rural, however, for some years the product of uncontrolled urban growth on environmental conditions, disengagement from control of land use, inefficient management Territorial planning has led to the settlements of urbanizations along the road. The soil is considered one of the most important resources for life, used for agriculture and infrastructure, rich in nutrients and habitat for flora and fauna species. In the area there are seven urbanizations, in their phases of operation and maintenance, expansion and construction, through the construction activity they carry out irreversible environmental impacts such as changes in land use and landscape alteration. For this reason, the present research work was proposed with the objective of evaluating the environmental impacts of the construction activity of the residential sector of the Machala-Pasaje road to propose a program of sustainability and environmental sustainability of the soil resource. The methodology used has a quali-quantitative approach, an importance matrix proposed by Conesa is applied, its design is descriptive analytical, the results are interpreted and measures are proposed through the sustainability and sustainability program of the soil resource. The results obtained are of importance because the greatest environmental impact is the change in land use in the area due to construction activity where the capacities, properties and conditions of the soil resource are irreversibly lost.
