Percepción y opinión de los ecuatorianos sobre la realidad socio ambiental nacional. Análisis del cantón Montalvo, provincia de los Ríos

Abstract

Abstract:This work was developed in response to the need to know the perception of the citizens of the Montalvo canton, in various social and environmental issues, information that is useful in the design and implementation of policies that address social issues and current environmental issues. To fulfill this objective, a closed survey was applied to citizens with legal age, specifically to a representative sample of 378 participants, who were questioned about the topics of interest. The results allowed to identify that in the canton there is a culture of protection and environmental care, so that citizens have poor knowledge about healthy eating, that their consumption is based on quality and price, and that equity problems are still present in society. Finally, it was possible to arrive at the conclusion that the citizens feel special pleasure to live in the canton, for their security, tranquility and confidence that generates its population, in spite of not existing great sources of employment and of having deficient health services.
