    Modelo de aprovechamiento sustentable para los residuos sólidos orgánicos generados en Bogotá D.C., involucrando organizaciones de recicladores de oficio
    Sandoval Duarte , Ángela Sandoval; Rodríguez Miranda , Juan Pablo
    This research proposes a model for the sustainable use of organic solid waste generated in Bogotá, with the involvement of professional recycling organizations. The model’s construction was based on the characterization of the city’s public sanitation service and relevant international case studies. These served as references to identify key technical, economic, environmental, and social factors, which were used to create the theoretical model and develop strategies for its implementation. One of the strategies consisted of developing an integrated management plan for solid organic waste generated in households that included: awareness-raising, separation at the source, selective collection, transportation and use of composting and vermiculture systems. Another strategy was the use of geographic information systems (GIS) to generate a priority management zoning proposal for organic waste generated at the locality level, as well as the generation of some strategies for the commercialization of products derived from the transformation processes in the utilization plants. A pilot test of the model was conducted in four neighborhoods near the Doña Juana landfill, involving 200 families and a recycling organization. During this test, the families’ and recyclers’ responses to the model were evaluated. With this information, the initial theoretical model was adjusted, and scenarios were developed for its implementation, as well as the generation of a proposal for a tariff framework for the use of organic waste by professional recyclers.

    Evaluación de macrófitas como bioindicadores de la contaminación por metales pesados en el RDH Capellanía, Bogotá – Colombia
    Galindo Acuña, Luis Alberto; Córdoba Sánchez, Mireya Patricia; https://orcid.org/0009-0004-0678-7323
    Heavy metal pollution is an environmental issue due to its persistence, non-degradability, and toxicity to living organisms. Bioindication is one of the recommended methods as it provides information not only on the pollution level but also on the bioavailability of elements and their biological impact. This study aims to assess the ability of Schoenoplectus californicus (commonly known as Bulrush) to accumulate heavy metals in the Capellanía wetland and to establish its capacity as a bioindicador acumulativo of Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb), and Mercury (Hg) contamination. To achieve this, the bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) were determined. Data were collected in triplicate for sediment, roots, and stems matrices at three different sites within the wetland. Results revealed that the Bulrush exhibits higher metal accumulation in the roots followed by the stems, and the quantifications in the plant are related to the values found in the sediments. A significant accumulation of Cr, Ni, and Pb in the roots was observed, with BCF values exceeding 1.00 at site three. However, the Translocation values for Cr, Ni, and Pb in the plant were below 1.00, suggesting a restriction of these metals in the roots and limited translocation to other parts of the plant. For As, Cd, and Hg, no presence was detected as their values were below the detection limit. This indicates that the Bulrush plays an important role as an effective macrophyte for phytoremediation and phytostabilization of some heavy metals.

    Índice socioambiental de la calidad del agua para consumo humano en fuentes subterráneas rurales, Cota Cundinamarca (Colombia)
    Fiquitiva Sierra, Andrea Carolina; Gamboa Castellanos , Miguel Ángel; Fiquitiva Sierra, Andrea Carolina [0009-0007-3315-5091]
    Water sources have historically been one of the bases for the development of the human population. Since ancient times, human settlements have been located near riverbeds for the development of various activities, such as livestock, agriculture, and communication. The general objective of this work was to develop a socio-environmental index to evaluate the conditions of water quality in underground supply sources in rural areas of the municipality of Cota, Cundinamarca, Colombia. The research question focuses on: What are the social and environmental analysis indicators and criteria that can improve the evaluation of water quality through the development of a socio-environmental index in the rural area of the municipality of Cota? Physicochemical parameters such as iron and turbidity were identified, which were outside the regulatory ranges, possibly due to deficiencies in the treatment systems, the lack of sewage and the inadequate disposal of wastewater, which contribute to water pollution. The index construction process was divided into three stages. The first consisted of the recognition and compilation of information in the literature about the most used indicators in the evaluation of water quality, followed by validation through semi-structured surveys that are applied in the rural area of Cota, specifically related to water sources. underground. The second stage consisted of the selection of socio-environmental indicators using an already established methodology, combined with the Delphi method and the applicability of the Hierarchical Analysis Process (AHP). Subsequently, information from public entities in Cota was incorporated to improve the applicability of the index. In the third stage, the data obtained from the selected indicators are quantitatively related, assigning them relative weights. An equation for the index is proposed, and the physicochemical parameters of water quality are selected. Scales were established that allowed evaluating the human impact on the municipality's underground water sources in rural areas, showing that quality of life indicators have a high impact for the municipality.

    Modelo de evaluación de sustentabilidad de la estrategia de sustitución de cultivos ilícitos como pilar en la política pública antidrogas de Colombia
    Castelblanco Moreno, Gloria Alejandra; Caicedo Cuervo, Carlos Jorge
    This research explores the circumstances and intricacies of the illicit crop substitution strategy as a cornerstone of Colombia's public anti-drug policy, through the study, adaptation, and application of an evaluation model that analyzes the sustainability of said strategy from a qualitative approach. Thus, a systematic literature review is conducted regarding public policies aimed at managing the phenomenon of illicit crops during the period from 2011 to 2022, to identify trends, approaches, instruments, and principles upon which they are built. A statistical method of Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) is applied as an intermediate treatment to recognize grouping patterns and factorial planes arising from their relationships, leading to a cluster analysis. Subsequently, based on this relational analysis, a list of variables corresponding to the criteria detected in the systematic review and their statistical examination is consolidated, forming the key input for the adaptation of the sustainability evaluation model based on the Sustainability Assessment of Food and Agriculture Systems (SAFA) tool designed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), criteria addressed in the Global Drug Policy Index (GDPI) (Bewley-Taylor and Wall, 2021), and the principles of the International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC) (IDPC, 2016). The adaptation of the evaluation model is validated through a panel of 16 experts, endorsing 75 criteria as relevant assessment aspects within the framework of the illicit crop substitution strategy, leading to the evaluation phase, where the substitution of illicit crops is addressed through the dimensions of Good Governance, Environmental Integrity, Economic Resilience, and Social Well-being. This corresponds to a qualitative analysis that highlights the limited performance of the illicit crop substitution strategy since its implementation, from a sustainability perspective.

    Modelo de caracterización y focalización del espacio público desde el enfoque de ciudad sustentable e inteligente. Caso Bogotá
    (Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Parra Pulio, Roger Alejandro; Hernández Peña, Yolanda Teresa; Hernández Peña, Yolanda Teresa [0000-0002-2846-7273]
    This research proposes to identify, through spatial indicators, intervention and prioritization zones to transform the city of Bogota into a sustainable and intelligent city in the future. The study is based on the selection and analysis of concepts of possible city models that incorporate resilient, environmental and social conditions, among other characteristics. Finally, two avant-garde approaches are integrated: smart cities and sustainable cities, in a single city model. Subsequently, a review and selection of indicators and relevant variables for a city to be considered sustainable and smart in terms of its Pedestrian Public Space was carried out. A total of seven indicators were selected. Once defined, these indicators were diagnosed in the city of Bogotá, incorporating a spatial component that made it possible to categorize the city's zones according to the selected indicators. Based on this diagnosis, an index was constructed that combines the spatial component, which made it possible to prioritize the areas that require urgent intervention in the short term, in order to initiate the transformation of the city toward a sustainable and intelligent model. The final chapter presents a short-term scenario through the materialization of the spatial prioritization model, which would positively influence the transformation of Bogota into a sustainable and intelligent city, specifically in the variables and indicators that require urgent intervention. This analysis reveals that the main problems are found in the peripheral areas of the city, with Suba, Usaquén, Usme and Ciudad Bolívar being the localities with the greatest urgency for intervention. The proposed research offers an alternative to analyze and propose different city models, such as resilient cities and green cities, in aspects such as security, health, recreation, sports and culture. The development of research in this field and methodology will allow the elaboration of more objective and accurate development plans, as well as the implementation of policies, programs and projects focused on technical variables, which can be linked to social and governance issues.

    Gómez Torres, Laura Isabel; Gamboa Castellanos, Miguel Ángel
    This study develops a geographic area prioritization model for the environmental management of residential organic waste in Bogotá, Colombia. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and multi-criteria analysis, the model integrates geospatial, environmental, socioeconomic, and waste management factors to identify priority intervention zones. The research included a comprehensive review of zoning models and waste treatment technologies, followed by the development and implementation of the prioritization model. The results provided a map of Bogotá with areas classified according to their priority for organic waste management. For high-priority zones, specific treatment technologies such as anaerobic digestion, gasification, and larval treatment were proposed, considering local characteristics. This approach offers a valuable tool for decision-making in urban waste management, promoting adapted and sustainable solutions that may be applicable to other cities facing similar challenges.

    Water governance is developed at the international level as a tool that seeks the comprehensiveness of state actors, private actors, social community and environmental actors with the purpose of managing, operating and conserving the water resource and promoting its sustainable environmental management. Similarly, water governance focuses on decision-making at the community level. Therefore, the objective of this research work is to propose a water governance model for the Molino, Río Negro and San Agustín villages of the municipality of Ubaque Cundinamarca, with the purpose of mitigating negative impacts such as; stagnation in agricultural economic development, water contamination in high areas of the river due to poor agricultural practices, discharges without any type of treatment, water scarcity attributed to climate change. Additionally, conflicts arise between communities due to illegal water withdrawals. In this sense, to identify the water governance model for the Molino, Río Negro and San Agustín villages of Ubaque Cundinamarca, a review of the literature was carried out, a social, economic, environmental and water management characterization was carried out, additionally visits were made. field with the objective of making a social cartography, semi-structured interviews and a workshop to identify the actors for water governance, as a result of the above, a modeling of future scenarios was carried out for the proposal of the water governance model through the program Vensim. As a result, some model assumptions were evident (See Figure 9) that helped simplify and analyze the dynamic model process. For the development of socialization, a guide document is presented in booklet format with a summary of the research work for the community of the villages, which was socialized with the interested parties of the villages

    Líquenes como bioindicadores de la calidad del aire en seis estaciones de la Red de Monitoreo de Calidad del Aire de la ciudad de Bogotá D.C. (Colombia)
    Peláez Pulido, Rouchi Nadine; Zafra Mejía, Carlos Alfonso; Zafra Mejía, Carlos Alfonso [0000-0002-4061-4897]
    The present study was carried out in the city of Bogotá- Colombia using lichens as bioindicators of atmospheric pollution through the Atmospheric Purity Index (IPA). The research was carried out in the green areas surrounding six air quality-monitoring stations (Kennedy, San Cristóbal, Fairs, High Performance Center, Suba and Guaymaral), taking the Fraxinus uhdei (Wenz.) Lingelsh. (Urapán) species as a phorophyte, with 25 species of lichens in total. Data were obtained on the environmental variables and the criteria pollutants PM10, PM2,5 and O3 for each monitoring point for the years 2015 to 2019 this to find the Atmospheric Purity Index (IPA) and the Bogota Quality Index of the Air (IBOCA); Statistical correlation analyzes were performed with the data obtained from these three indices. It was found that lichens are affected by particulate matter PM10, PM2,5 and are tolerant to Ozone (O3), it was also found that the results of the IPA which resulted in poor air quality for the study areas does not have significant relationship with the data provided by the ICA and IBOCA since they register a regular to good air quality for the studied areas, which indicates that monitoring by means of lichens through the use of IPA is a tool with greater sensitivity to pollutants. The areas reported with the best air quality according to the IPA were as follow: Suba station followed by Guaymaral and Centro de Alto Rendimiento. The stations with the worst air quality were San Cristóbal, Ferias and Kennedy (Lichen desert). Canoparmelia carneopruinata, Lecanora caesiorubella, Physcia decorticata, and Flavopunctelia flaventior were identified as tolerant to contaminants, and Alyxoria varia, Caloplaca epiphora, and Parmotrema bangii as sensitive species.

    Evaluación del efecto del cambio climático en la oferta hídrica superficial del departamento de Cundinamarca y el Distrito Capital
    Pedraza Lancheros, Yuli Andrea; Alarcón Hincapié, Juan Carlos; Alarcón Hincapié, Juan Carlos [0000-0003-0872-6116]
    The climate participates in the provision of energy and water to ecosystems and living beings. Its natural dynamics grant particular characteristics to the different portions of the Earth, some more or less habitable than others for man. Any change in the climatic conditions of a particular area necessarily entails changes in ecosystems, in river flows, in increased frequencies of landslides, droughts or floods, in the relationships between living beings and alterations in daily activities. of the man. Taking into account the above, a conceptual and methodological framework is proposed that allows identifying the current climatic conditions of the department of Cundinamarca and its effects on the territory in the face of future changes (climate change scenarios). To develop such a proposal, the climate has been represented with the average annual temperature and the average annual precipitation for the reference period 1981-2010. Subsequently, spatial models of the relationship between climate and runoff and climate and aridity conditions were carried out. These models were validated through the comparison of the modeled and observed values, which were obtained from secondary observed information. Using IDW interpolation to carry out the modeling, the result was spatial information with a distance between points of 900 meters applicable to the entire department. After validating the models for the reference period, the climate values ​​were modified with the information from the RCP 4.5 and RCP 6.0 scenarios of the Third Climate Change Communication, applicable for the period 2011-2040. As a result of this research, twelve modeling models were obtained that show the changes in temperature, precipitation, runoff and aridity index caused by the climate modifications proposed in each of the scenarios. Such changes are evident when comparing the climate modeling of the reference period with each modeling resulting from the scenarios. Subsequently, it was possible to recognize that climate modifications, due to anthropic effects in each RCP scenario, would cause effects on the availability of water resources in the department. Some of these effects could cause disappearance or serious damage to the paramos, appearance of new ecosystems (associated with excess precipitation and/or increases in temperature), increases in the frequency of floods, mass removal phenomena, increases in areas susceptible to fires, and in general decrease in the sustainability of the department. Finally, the factors that favor climate change are identified and based on these, some adaptation proposals for the Department and the Capital are presented.

    This study presents the results of an assessment model for heavy metal pollution in the Capellanía Wetland, focusing on its correlation with total solids. Through principal component analysis, it was identified that total solids were a significant variable in relation to heavy metals, leading to the development of five linear regression models for each specific metal (chromium, copper, nickel, lead, and zinc). Subsequently, a dynamic modeling software was used to establish the connection between the wetland's hydrological behavior and the results of the linear regression models. This enables the quantification of heavy metal concentrations within the wetland, as this variable is not commonly measured in routine water quality assessments. Integrating hydrological dynamics and regression models allows for a comprehensive understanding of heavy metal pollution in the wetland. Using results from granulometric tests conducted in various locations, linear regressions were developed using R® software, obtaining coefficient of determination values ranging from 0.48% to 0.99% of explained percentage. These findings highlight the models' capacity to explain the relationship between total solids and heavy metals in the wetland. In addition to considering these relationships, the model also incorporates other relevant variables, such as the area of the wetland's contributing basin, its area, volume, depth, inflow and outflow rates, average annual precipitation, resuspension rate, sedimentation rate, and hydraulic retention time, all crucial for dynamic modeling carried out with Vensim® software, where an estimated 25.4 tons of heavy metals enter the wetland each year. To validate the model, two methods were employed. The first method involved using Vensim® software, applying the Monte Carlo method to assess sensitivity. The second method consisted of a direct comparison between real data obtained from secondary documentation and the modeled data. This comparison yielded the following statistical metrics: mean squared errors (MSE) and mean absolute errors (MAE), ranging from 0.0001 to 0.003 and from 0.6% to 3.9%, respectively. These values indicate the model's precision in predicting pollution and its variability. The combination of these validation approaches allowed for a comprehensive evaluation of the model's performance and its ability to accurately represent the dynamics of heavy metal pollution in the wetland.

    Financiamiento de la adaptación al cambio climático a nivel local. Un análisis desde la autonomía territorial y los esfuerzos de descentralización en Colombia tomando como caso de estudio el departamento de Cundinamarca
    Martín Ramírez, Fanny Adriana; Díaz Lozano, Aura Yolanda
    Climate-resilient development at the local level requires sufficient flows of climate finance. However, securing the necessary resources to fund climate change adaptation can be challenging in centralised state models with limited territorial autonomy. Centralised decision-making on climate finance increases territories' vulnerability and limits the actions that must be urgently taken locally to respond to the climate crisis. This work addresses the relationship between climate change adaptation financing at the local level and decentralisation. Multivariate statistics were utilised to thoroughly examine the variables of the fiscal performance index and the climate change risk index for all municipalities located in the Department of Cundinamarca. The findings reveal that the municipalities within the department heavily rely on national transfers, highlighting the extent of decentralisation and territorial autonomy. Under this context of limited territorial autonomy, we have identified the factors that impact the municipalities' ability to access climate finance. The following five key factors are outlined to increase climate finance flows for adaptation in the country and ensure alignment with climate-resilient development. The urgency of implementing adaptation measures appropriate to the different territorial contexts, the strengthening of territorial autonomy, the inclusion of a specific item for adaptation in the allocation of transfers from the General System of Participation, the adoption of more comprehensive climate finance schemes and the decentralisation of the National Climate Change System.

    Since the first environmental movements at the end of the sixties, the importance of caring for ecosystems has been discussed, the environmental crisis becomes evident and questions begin about the impacts generated by the non-adoption of measures to maintain the planet's ability to maintain itself and produce enough goods to be consumed by humanity. The effects of ecological damage caused by human activities are reflected, for example, in the increase in greenhouse gases due to the combustion of waste and the poor disposal of biomass. Although, high mountain ecosystems are areas protected by regulations, crops such as potatoes are predominant in these areas due to their climatic adaptation, In particular, this crop generates a large amount of waste or by-products that are being improperly disposed of on the ground, water sources or into the air through burning. With the purpose of estimating the amount of potato crop residues in the páramo ecosystem, the analysis of the dynamics of the crop production system was carried out in the Vensim software. As a result, the research presented a model for the use of the by-product where two uses of the waste are shown within the framework of sustainable development. In the first case, the model for the use of the by-product of the harvest of this tuber for organic fertilization is presented, in the second case, the use is shown through the generation of alternative energy through biogas. In both cases, the contribution to the Sustainable Development of the communities is evident.

    The present investigation has as its main objective, the development of an indicator of environmental sustainability to estimate the ecological footprint caused by the development of tourist activities, in the Páramo Guantiva - Russia, Pan de Azúcar sector in the municipality of Duitama (Boyacá, Colombia). ”. Based on developing an evaluation tool that allows understanding the positive and negative impacts that fall on a tourist site and knowing what type of sustainability is contributed with the development of these activities in moorland areas, according to the assessment proposed by (Gallopín, 2003 ), of the types of sustainability, "strong, weak and very weak sustainability", the HET evaluation ranges are established, to propose protection and development strategies, which establish what are the permissible interventions, to what extent and how much it is possible to leave that alternative tourism or ecotourism occurs in these ecosystems, taking into account that the páramo ecosystems, due to their protection status, do not have many opportunities for economic development for the population of these areas. For which, the following three goals are proposed; identify and prioritize methodologies for estimating the ecological footprint in tourism activities in high mountain ecosystems worldwide, through a systematic literature review. Subsequently, the formulation of an indicator to estimate the ecological footprint of tourist activities in páramo ecosystems. Finally, the application of the indicator to the specific case study. Finding that this type of tourist projects make the area visible, strengthen the recognition of the territory and give opportunity for economic development to small municipalities, however, the development of these economic activities, in the Pan de azúcar páramo contributes to the very weak type of sustainable development. , since the substitution of the natural capital of the area is promoted and is not compensated by the generation of social welfare and economic development of the area. Causing irreversible damage to the ecosystem and compromising the availability of natural capital to future generations, mainly affecting the strategic function of the páramo ecosystem as a water regulator.
