Considering that the problems under study are related to the inadequate management
of solid waste, they have a direct impact on human beings and their environment in a
significant way. (André & Cerdá, 2015), especially on health, environmental factors such
as renewable and non-renewable resources, such as contamination of soils, surface and
groundwater (Mohammadi et al., 2017), social, economic factors, whose components
are essential for every human being on the planet earth. (MINAN, 2018)other factors
identified is the affectation of the scenic beauty where these wastes accumulate, due to
poor management by local governments (Tangri & Wilson, 2017). (Tangri & Wilson,
2017).
In Latin America and the Caribbean, household solid waste (HSW) reaches a per capita
production of 0.63 kg of waste per inhabitant/day (kg/inhab/day); and Urban Solid
Waste (USW) reaches 0.96 kg of waste kg/inhabitant/day, generating 295 thousand tons
of waste in homes (USW), 436 thousand tons in schools, stores, offices, markets,
hospitals, sweeping and cleaning of streets and public areas (USW), and of this total
45% of waste is not treated and is not adequately recycled (United Nations Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development). (United Nations - Environment (UN),
2018)..
In Ecuador, around 0.58 kilograms of solid waste per inhabitant is generated daily.
Meanwhile, it is estimated that 72.9% of solid waste management was handled directly
by the municipalities, which disposed of their waste in sanitary landfills; 36%,
corresponding to 79 municipal governments, did so in dumps; and 21%, corresponding
to 46 municipal governments, disposed of their solid waste in pop-up cells, collecting
an average of 12,897.98 tons daily.897.98 tons per day, of which 11,641.94 tons (90.3%)
were collected in a non-differentiated manner and 1,256.04 tons (9.7%) were collected
in a differentiated manner (Cookson & Stirk). (Cookson & Stirk, 2019).
In the canton of Jipijapa in the province of Manabi and notoriously in the parish of
Anegado del Canton Jipijapa, there is a lack of studies related to solid waste
management, in this area the lack of knowledge and lack of control by the authorities
in charge has led to poor management of solid waste, causing a significant impact on
its inhabitants and the environment is why the objective of the research is: To evaluate
the solid waste management of the inhabitants of the Anegado parish of the Jipijapa
canton in the province of Manabí.
It must have the problem, the formulation of the problem, the objectives, the
justification of the work, the theories and the theoretical framework. The introduction
should contain a dialogue between the authors and be specified using the APA 7th
Edition norms.
Materials and methods
The methodology of the present research involves the quantitative and qualitative
perspective, the same that has a systemic approach, which allows an integrative analysis
taking as a reference the methodology of the Pan American Center for Environmental
Health (Paraguay, 2018), the same that indicates the statistical and field procedures to
