Formulación del plan de manejo ambiental para la Plaza de Mercado La Concordia - Localidad 17 La Candelaría

Abstract

The formulation of an environmental management plan for the square marketplace La Concordia, located in 17 zone of La Candelaría, was born as a need for this marketplace to improve their competitiveness, change their old ways of marketing and start a process of renewal in environmental matters, in order to develop its potential; It is important to highlight the square's and town's cultural, social, historical and architectural heritage. To state a diagnosis, characterizations of various environmental aspects were made. A matrix of environmental effects was designed first and then another one containing the environmental effects in relation to the fragilities developed within the marketplace and activities that generate a greater involvement. These items permit a prioritization of such impacts, in which solid waste and dumping were the most serious issues; therefore they are the first to be prioritized. The next stage is to propose a total formulation of the damages generated by any excessive generation and inadequate management of solid and liquid waste, vectors and atmospheric emissions with the purpose of stating and proposing reduction programs, mitigation, compensation and improvement of the current environmental standards, achieving an adaptation of the square into a proper environmental management system for the future needs of both local and tourist community tour of Candelaría
