Análisis del impacto ambiental generado por la construcción de la nueva vía de acceso Guano-Riobamba

Abstract

The main objective of this thesis project is to analyze the environmental impact generated by the construction of the new access road to Guano – Riobamba, to be able to identify the positive interactions and the negative or harmful interactions that this project has generated. To the Provincial Government and Decentralized Autonomous Government of the Guano canton. To develop this research, 377 surveys were applied to the citizens of the canton, dividing into 3 zones, zone 1 corresponding to the neighborhood “La Matriz”, zone 2 neighborhood “El Rosario” and zone 3 neighborhood “Santa Teresita”, resulting in the acceptance by the citizenship with the new road construction. Environmental impact matrices were also applied: impact identification matrix, significance matrix, cause and effect matrix and two Leolpd matrices. With all the information it was possible to obtain 84 intersections generated by the road construction project, 66 negative intersections and 18 positive intersections, resulting in a high level of contamination and losses in the flora and fauna of the construction zone. The strategies that can be applied to mitigate the negative environmental impact are: develop a project for the collection of trash, systematize the irrigation water system, provide security elements for workers, maintenance of old garbage pits dump, strengthen the studies prior to road construction, promote the comprehensive training of children, adolescents and youth on issues related to environmental impact. It is recommended that the departments of public works and environmental management merge their activities so that the projects that are to be executed comply with all the regulations and avoid the pollution caused by road constructions.
