Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Currently, the increase in solid waste constitutes one of the threats against the environment. In Ecuador, a new environmental regulatory framework has been implemented that guarantees people the right to live in a healthy and ecologically balanced environment, as well as the protection of the rights of Nature. The objective of this research is to analyze the incidence of solid waste and its impact on the inhabitants of the Puerta Negra sector in the city of Babahoyo. Among the instruments used, a survey was applied to find out the perceptions of the population about the different elements that indicate the management of solid waste in the city. In general, the existence of little tendency towards the reuse and recycling of solid waste in the population was observed.
