Formulación de la metodología general para la evaluación de los impactos ambientales generados por los oficios de trabajo en madera, cestería, alfarería y joyería del sector artesanal en Colombia

Abstract

In this document, the development of a methodology for assessing the environmental impacts generated by some of the crafts identified as most striking today is made, based on a detailed characterization of their production processes and the identification of those activities that generate greater environmental effects. With this, is likely to define the stages and processes that influence the sustainability of natural resources which are used as raw material and pinpoint those determinants that can make crafts much friendlier with environmment and with an added value in their products. Thus, it is intended to provide the basis for the overall development of a methodology for the effective assessment of the crafts from the perspective of optimizing resources, reducing waste and maintaining the equilibrium conditions of the environment, for in the future it can be estimated the actual damage caused by each of these and can be an improvement of conflicting stages, allowing the normal development of the base of the craft production processes in our country.
