Item Socio-economic parameters that influence the disposal of refrigerators and televisions in an urban area of Colombia(2021) Ríos Obando, José Fabián; Sánchez Vásquez, Lina Marcela; Vargas Taborda, Libardo CarlosThe article presents a correlational study conducted in 2018, with people from different socioeconomic strata in the city of Armenia, Quindío; intermediate city of Colombia, developing country. The study allows associating socioeconomic variables with the efficient management of waste from refrigerators and televisions, through the use of the Pearson coefficient, determination and the Durvin-Watson test. The results show that people located in socioeconomic strata four, five and six are more willing to have direct control strategies applied to them, such as payment of penalties (through taxes), when making a non-efficient final disposal (against the applicable regulatory framework), while those located in strata one to three, the preference is given to non-economic sanctions and receiving subsidies as an incentive for their actions in favor of the ecosystem.
