Formulación de un programa de atención, mitigación y seguimiento de puntos críticos por arrojo de residuos sólidos en la localidad de San Cristóbal-Bogotá D.C

Abstract

This research developed a comprehensive program for the management, mitigation, and monitoring of critical points caused by improper solid waste disposal in San Cristóbal (Bogotá D.C.). Utilizing a mixed-methods, descriptive, and propositional approach, the study characterized five prioritized locations through documentary analysis, direct observation, and stakeholder consultations to evaluate associated environmental, social, technical, and institutional factors. Moving beyond traditional cleanup operations, the findings emphasized that long-term waste eradication requires strong community ownership, environmental education, territorial control, tailored collection services, and sustained post-intervention monitoring. The main output is a strategic framework featuring tailored projects for specific sites (Libertadores, Bella Vista, Veinte de Julio; Serafina; and Altamira), providing a structured tool to guide future local urban environmental management, citizen co-responsibility, and public space recovery.
