Abstract

Abstract: The city of Loja shows an accelerated demographic growth, causing resources to deteriorate more easily and generating serious socio-environmental disagreements and conflicts. The purpose of this research was to identify the main socio-environmental problems that exist in the parish of El Sagrario, through the population's perception, and with these results a proposal was generated focused on the reduction and mitigation of the problems described.Methodologically, semi-structured surveys were applied to the elderly residents of the sector, who stated that the greatest socio-environmental problem is air pollution and noise pollution, due to the increase in the number of vehicles in recent years. Another factor to be determined is the poor condition of certain vehiclesthat emit pollutants such as carbon monoxide and dioxide, which generate harmful effects on the environment and people's health. With these results, an action plan was designed for the Decentralized Municipal Autonomous Government of the Loja canton, withthe purpose of reducing noise and air pollution.
