Abstract

ABSTRACT The project consists in the study of the conditions of management and final disposition of debris in the city of Latacunga and its influence on environmental factors landscape and quality of life, which has the purpose of determining the volume of generation of debris, conditions of management and final disposal thereof, the identification of the highly significant environmental impacts generated on environmental factors, landscape and quality of life, due to the management and disposition of the debris in clandestine sites. For the study of a sample, the situation of the unauthorized dumps located in the Barrio Ashpacruz, in the Wholesale Market sector and in the Los Arupos sector via La Calera is analyzed. The debris generation rate of the private sector in the city of Latacunga is 30.02 m3 / housing and the average amount of debris generated in the public sector between 2016 and 2018 was 473.7 m3. Based on the evaluation of the environmental impact of the unauthorized waste dumps, it is determined that there are significant risks that have caused a medium level affectation to the landscape and quality of life.

In order to provide an alternative solution to the problem of affecting the landscape and quality of life due to the operation of unauthorized waste dumps, the creation of a waste dump that complies with current environmental and municipal ordinances and regulations is proposed. Modeling is generated, taking into account the variables of coverage of land use, proximity to mining areas, precipitation and slope, the technical, environmental, social and economic feasibility of the proposed site is determined and a debris management manual is designed.
