    Contaminación de canales de agua lluvia en zonas urbanas
    (Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Castillo Cardona, Gibran; Vargas Vásquez, Jhon Edwar
    The rapid growth of cities and the waterproofing of grounds, it causes the natural loss of water infiltration, makes it necessary to build of channels for rainwater within the cities, due to the increase of runoff water in urban areas and avoid flooding. The drainage system of rainwater varies according to the needs of each city or specific area to which it is necessary a hydraulic canal. Although, the interaction of the inhabitants with drainage canal is not always friendly, so there are problems of environmental nature. Due to this, the importance and role of drainage canal system in urban areas is established to avoid floods, collecting, storing and transporting runoff water in many cities around the world and cities nationwide depending on the needs and characteristics of the place where are they. The types of channels and the different sources of contamination are identified, characterizing the largest solid waste and liquid contaminants and the main environmental impacts that cause, finding: The major pollutants are food, paper and plastic waste, which are the main culprits of causer the drainage system causing flooding, and water stagnation. Finally, the case of the Caño Córdoba canal in the city of Arauca is presented, where there is evidence of water stagnation in different points of the canal due to solid waste thrown by the community.

    (Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Grajales Vega, Laura Patricia; Salazar Calvache, Oscar Andres
    This article aims to show social, environmental and economic impacts which come from the construction and operation of hydroelectric power plants in Colombia. Nonetheless the power generation is thought as a public domain, constitutional laws of protection and conservation of natural resources are constantly violated. These mega-structures, change physical elements given by water, soil and air as well as biotic components such as biodiversity of flora and fauna species along with social and economic component. The goal of the government is focused on reach an economic growth, which benefits the progressive privatization of public-power plants which have caused impacts in different areas where damaged inhabitants are commonly limited to a financial reward due to the moving of entire villages. This means severe changes in people lifestyles creating forced displacement, being more violent than wars themselves.

    Diagnóstico de las causas de Deforestación en el Municipio de Bajo Baudo en el año 2018
    (Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Córdoba Urrutia, Anny Jhojaira; Reyes Arias, Tito Reinal
    This study addresses a diagnosis of the causes of deforestation in the municipality of Bajo Baudo during 2018, it should be noted that this municipality is located on the Pacific coast of the department of Chocó and most of its population is afrodescendant, in which there are large extensions of forest and wildlife. However, in this town there are activities that attack the environment such as illegal mining, hunting endangered animals and cutting down trees, the latter being the subject of this investigation. It is worth noting that large areas of arid land may already be observed given the increase in extractive wood activities whose main purpose is commercial, so that certain animal and plant population species have decreased considerably. Therefore, under an explanatory methodology, the deductive method was used to clarify from a theoretical point of view the comparisons and factors that helped to design a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. In this sense, it was possible to identify some incidental factors in this problem, such as the lack of knowledge part of the population about the consequences of such practices, the lack of social investment from national government, poverty, the high rate of unemployment and weak law enforcement from environmental authorities. The negative impact on the environment could be determined by assessment on the risk extinction for some animal and plant species the soil erosion and decrease in oxygen production among others.

    Impactos ambientales en zonas costeras y marítimas de Colombia
    (Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Loaiza Quintero, Karen Yohana; Salazar Calvache; Oscar Andres
    Colombia has a large coastal zone corresponding to the Caribbean and Pacific region with an area practically equivalent to the continental zone. The Caribbean coast houses 12.5% of the total population, while the Pacific region is only 1.6%, in both cases, mostly concentrated in a few urban centres. Untidy population growth has generated considerable marine-coastal environmental impacts such as coastal erosion, degradation and habitat loss, as well as affecting ecosystem services. In the Caribbean, pollutant accumulation processes are facilitated because it is a closed sea with shallow water, with greater pollution from the Caribbean region with respect to the Pacific, as well as the number of polluting sources that affect the quality of the Waters. On the other hand, the wear of the coasts constitutes one of the principal innate warnings of marine origin used as a probabilistic tool against natural phenomena. In recent years, protected coastal areas have been defined, seeking to protect sensitive ecosystems, which generate important ecosystem services. One of the most important threatened ecosystems are coral reefs because they provide habitat, food and protection to many marine species.

    Análisis del déficit de espacio público verde, por efecto del crecimiento urbanístico de la ciudad de Medellín
    (Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Chaparro Fajardo, Laura Caterine; Flórez Echeverri, Jennifer; Bernal Suárez, Diana Paola
    Green public space is a key element in cities, recognizing their ecological functions and their contribution in the formation of ecological networks. However, in the cities of Latin America such as Medellin, Colombia, there are deficit of public space compared to the minimum indicator of 15m2/capita recommended by the World Health Organization – WHO, indicator that given the rapid growth of the population will continue to decline over time. For this reason, it is necessary an adequate management and planning of the land as a key tool to address this deficit. Currently in Colombia, there are phenomena such as a shortage of urbanizable soil, incomplete development on the urban fringe, low quantity and quality of public space, as well as loss and deterioration of natural resources, because of poor management of urban development and unplanned land use. Therefore, it is an important issue to understand the problem, establish responsibilities and come up with solutions involving all actors in society as an integral part of the sustainable development of the city.

    Análisis de las condiciones generadoras del peligro aviario: caso aeropuerto internacional Ernesto cortissoz de la ciudad de barranquilla, Colombia
    (Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Benavides Céspedes, Julián Andrés; González Herrera, Alejandra; Perico Rodríguez, Ángela Patricia
    Aviary danger is one of the major problems with which airports worldwide struggle to control and mitigate the accidentality that it can generate within the development of its air operations. For the realization of this document, a bibliographic review of different sources and databases of domestic and foreign airports was carried out, which established the methodologies and processes implemented to control the problem in mention. In this way a general concept was obtained which facilitated the comparison and analysis of the processes carried out within the Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport which provides its services to the city of Barranquilla, Atlantic. These comparisons focused on the study of the different avian, migratory and native species that were evident on the air side of the airport (reeling runways, hangars and aircraft parking areas) which are attracted by the food sources that they can find and by the right spaces for reproduction, the latter is generated by the geographical location of Ernesto Cortissoz Airport. Once this bibliographic review was carried out, the relevant conclusions were generated which emphasize observations and suggestions that can be applied at the Airport

    La participación comunitaria: Elemento crítico en el marco de la gestión ambiental
    (Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2016) Floréz Varela, Isabel Cristina; García Gómez, Henry
    Uno de los ejes fundamentales para la práctica de la gestión ambiental, es la participación comunitaria. Más allá de los fundamentos teóricos y el cumplimiento de la legislación ambiental de nuestro País, es importante reconocer que los procesos que se lleven a cabo con los diversos actores, deberían enfocarse no solo como eventos programáticos para la ejecución de los proyectos, obras y/o actividades, sino prepararlos para la toma de decisiones futuras, es decir, entablar vínculos con las comunidades, especialmente aquellas más vulnerables por aspectos como la biodiversidad, riqueza cultural y que por lo tanto representan diversidad de beneficios económicos, estos últimos debidos especialmente por la explotación de recursos,, pero que no se ven reflejados en las poblaciones de las zonas afectadas y en contraste se evidencian grandes problemas ambientales, políticos y sociales. Debido a este enfoque de la participación comunitaria, es necesario establecer que este eje no se desconoce por completo en Colombia, pero si debemos analizar cuáles han sido los casos verdaderamente exitosos, es decir, aquellos en los que se proporciona a la comunidad las herramientas claves para determinar si la información que se les brinda acerca de los beneficios que se pueden obtener por la ejecución de un proyecto, en verdad compensan, no solo económicamente, sino también a nivel ambiental y social, los efectos causados por el desarrollo de los mismos.

    Impactos ambientales, sociales, económicos y confrontación armada que genera la actividad minera en el bajo Cauca Antioqueño y como apuntar a la sostenibilidad y RSE del sector
    (Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2016) Herazo Almanza, Erika Marcela; García Gómez, Henry
    La minería responsable y sostenible, es una tendencia nueva que se está adoptando en Colombia por el gobierno para controlar dicha actividad entre las grandes empresas mineras nacionales y extranjeras interesadas en explotar en territorio nacional, aunque en el país abunda la minería ilegal, que desconoce este concepto. Ante esto, surge la necesidad de adoptar unas prácticas y programas que no perjudiquen el futuro de las comunidades y los ecosistema, por lo cual se debe determinar en qué proporciones se requiere de variables como la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial, la mejora continua, las necesidades de la comunidad y la necesidad de mitigar el impacto ambiental para establecer un escenario futuro donde sea posible desarrollar el modelo de minería responsable y sostenible sin dejarse afectar por la corrupción y el conflicto de intereses ya que se está negociando el futuro de un estado y los recursos a explotar son no renovables. ¿Por qué la minería debe incorporar responsabilidad social empresarial?, es un cuestionamiento que se deben plantear los involucrados en este tipo de actividades, ya que hay muchos factores a considerar, entre los cuales el más importante es el impacto ambiental y socio-cultural que ha causado la explotación minera en el territorio nacional. En Colombia, en las zonas en que se ha desarrollado dicha actividad se ha afectado sustancialmente los ecosistemas intervenidos, y más aún, si estos procesos no son controlados por los entes gubernamentales. Ante esta situación, se deben tomar medidas que permitan limitar esta práctica bajo condiciones inadecuadas, obligando a optar por procesos estandarizados, de calidad y que le permitan a las comunidades afectadas integrarse en la recuperación del impacto ambiental y social causado, accediendo a los beneficios que las empresas han estructurado bajo el modelo de responsabilidad social.

    Daños ambientales por la explotación minera ilegal de oro en el Municipio de Timbiquí
    (Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2016) Rios Lasso, Carlos Alberto; Gómez García, Henry
    the gold is a natural product that represents wealth before the European invasion for them and for those countries that have it, for the capitals who extracted it, thanks to the values that reaches to the different markets. Historically and through time the demand for this metal has increased and with it the number of people engaged in extracting it and get it. This process is done through mining in some cases legally and others illegally. Technique of exploitation and benefit process, or the method depend on the type of deposit and the regulations of law found in the land. For it is used tools and substances chemical that affect and deteriorate the ecosystem. By it earlier is necessary, count with them permits and licenses that authorize perform this activity, by the commitment of the recovery and restoration of the land that assumes who it explodes. Do it without having it is considered ilegal. The practice of the mining is back to times colonial in the municipality of Timbiqui (Coast peaceful Colombian), time from which has been considered a place rich in that mineral. In this territory mining has been practiced by tradition and as an inheritance, has been an active part in the economy of this municipality, displacing and replacing the agricultural activities such as the planting of crops and animal husbandry. But also has brought to get important changes in the environment that year after year are more worrying. The work aims to describe and analyze the impacts that the practice of illegal mining has caused to the components of biotic and Abioticos in the municipality and the negative relationship that obviously is going to have sustainable development. The descriptive analysis based on an analysis of several documents published in news, reports and other studies are therefore used.
