Caracterización física de los residuos sólidos domiciliarios del reasentamiento las delicias, en Tierralta – Córdoba.

Abstract

"The production or generation of solid waste is a variable that depends on cultural factors such as: population size, predominant economic activity, educational level, and environmental knowledge, among others" Valencia and Sánchez (2016) (p 17). For this reason, the physical characterization of the solid household residues of the Las Delicias Resettlement and the inhabitants they produce, seeks to generate data that is basic for the development of environmental programs, contributing to education and environmental awareness. The physical characterization of household solid waste is divided into two phases. Phase 1; General characterization of the Delicias community in Tierralta Córdoba, through the initial application of a survey of "adjusted socio-economic characterization". Córdoba Mamani N. R. (2015) (p. 130). Phase 2: Characterization of solid waste generated by the inhabitants of the resettlement of Delicias in Tierralta, Córdoba, applying statistical analysis. The amount of solid waste generated by the house consisted of the registrar for 8 days, segregating and weighing them according to the physical characteristics they have. The methodology required the application of statistical formulas that allow measurement of sample size and per capita generation, in addition to data processing, among other activities detailed in this report. This work was carried out between January 15 and February 8 of this year, sampling 30 dwellings using the simple random sampling method implementing the finite population formula.
