Evaluación del impacto socioambiental de las actividades agrícolas en la estación experimental Tunshi en el área de la facultad de recursos naturales.

Abstract

The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the socio-environmental impacts of agricultural activities in the Tunshi Experimental Station, area of the Faculty of Natural Resources, because socio-environmental impacts are positive or negative effects that are produced by a certain human action on environment. For the development of the study, we proceeded in three phases; 1) Preparation of the socio-environmental baseline for which information was sought from secondary sources such as books, scientific articles, PDOT of the Licto parish and key actors, 2) Study of socio-environmental impacts for which surveys were carried out on the students of the Renewable Natural Resources career from PAO 5 to 8, semi-structured interviews with four key authors and field observation filling out a checklist and a Lázaro Lagos matrix, 3) Formulation of the management plan environment to mitigate negative impacts and enhance positive impacts. As results, it was obtained that, in the socio-environmental study of the Tunshi Experimental Station area of the Faculty of Natural Resources, it was announced that within the station, the total value of the evaluation of socio-environmental impacts was 583, of which 446 (76.50 %) correspond to positive socio-environmental impacts, while 137 (23.50%) is the value of negative socio-environmental impacts, most of which are positive impacts since they take advantage of natural resources such as soil, water and flora in a sustainable manner. It was concluded that the socio-environmental impacts of agricultural activities at the Tunshi Experimental Station have been mitigated by seeking new agroecological alternatives. It is recommended that these studies be replicated in agricultural communities, to publicize the socio-environmental impacts of these activities.
