Construcción de un Sistema de Indicadores Socioeconómicos para Valorar Impactos en Proyectos de Hidrocarburos Sujetos a Licenciamiento Ambiental

Abstract

Part of the oil boom in Colombia has been given by the implementation of measures that encourage exploration and exploitation of crude oil, natural gas and other petroleum products in order to attract domestic and foreign investment from large and small businesses. Due to the growth and development of the activities of the hydrocarbon sector in the country, it is essential to have the right to identify potential risks and impacts on the environment, social and economic environment tools. As such, the assessment of the social and economic effects generated by all activities at different stages of these projects allows to implement actions to prevent, mitigate, correct and compensate the impacts. The purpose of this study is to develop a tool for assessing impacts, which clearly and precisely, permitting calculation using an array of criteria and indicators; the significance of the intervention of hydrocarbon companies on a zone. So, this research provides economic indicators as a tool for evaluation, making them useful for sizing the negative and positive impacts that occur on the socioeconomic component. To develop such a proposal they were defined components which will bring about a major change, such as health, employment, education, culture, governance and public policy, economic performance, land tenure, production systems, demographics and infrastructure. After determining the components are specified by the study, indicators and criteria that identify these socioeconomic changes in the area of influence of the projects
