ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT MODEL FOR VERIFICATION OF AREAS DEGRADED BY SOLID CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE IN ICA, 2021-2022

Abstract

This article addresses the problems of solid construction and demolition waste (CDW) in Ica. Improper waste disposal has deteriorated natural and urban spaces, harming the landscape, health, and the environment. This occurs despite current regulations, such as Supreme Decree No. 002 - 2022 - Housing, but obstacles persist in technical capacity, environmental literacy, and oversight. Using a combined descriptive and exploratory approach, 50 deteriorated areas were selected and direct observation, surveys, georeferencing, and statistical analysis were implemented to assess the situation and establish an environmental management model. This model is divided into five elements: diagnosis, prevention, transportation, recovery, and oversight. It uses standardized technical sheets to ensure waste traceability and connect national regulations with local actions. It promotes shared responsibility and the circular economy. The results showed that its implementation simplifies the detection and recovery of critical areas, improves control of CDW flow, increases the recovery of reusable materials, and strengthens environmental governance. It was concluded that it is technically and regulatory feasible, adaptable to other contexts, and capable of transforming waste management into a preventive, comprehensive, and sustainable system, with social, environmental, economic, and institutional advantages.
