Plan de manejo ambiental Cementerio Central de Güepsa, Santander

Abstract

The present work has as objective the formulation of an Environmental Management Plan for the Municipal Cemetery of Güepsa, Santander. In which it is intended to restore the environmental component of the cemetery and compensate the impacts generated due to the mismanagement it has had. The historical-social component and the feasibility of implementing an eco-cemetery were analyzed, which encourages the inhabitants of the Municipality to appropriate this space, dignifying life. For the scope of this, information was collected through a situational diagnosis identifying the baseline, both environmental components (water, air, soil, land) and administrative and social components through surveys and interviews. Through identification matrices of environmental aspects and impacts and checklists, it was possible to demonstrate a deficient administration and a great loss of identity with this space, which in turn causes social abandonment resulting in a disinterested administration since there are no people who demand the care and protection of the cemetery.
