Descriptions of environmental impact are necessary to predict the effects of specific projects on defined and often small areas, as is the case of the bay of Chancay. In this bay residual water from the fish industry and urban spilling are usually discharged. Environmental impact caused on marine sediments is deduced from an evaluation of the bio-oceanographic conditions this bay presents. Impacts generated this way vary according the environmental variable’s sensitivity or fragility, thus it is, for example, that impact on whichever of them can put the rest of the trophic chain in danger.Such is the case of this research, environmental impact is produced on the short-run and takes place when fishing industrial processing plants are working. The one on the long-run takes place due to the gathering of residues and pollutants that can become irreversible or unavoidable as time goes. The i...

The present work establishes environmental quality and life quality relations through quality rates. These rates are determined by evaluating quadratic matrixes and indicators. The PM-10, SO2 levels, and lead in PM10 found during the working period (April-December 2001), overrun the maximum limits permitted by the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as the national air environmental quality standards for Peru, which not only determines a decreasing in air quality, but rather gives rise to a decreasing in the populations’s life quality, having consequences on their health and impairing the city’s landscape. The Optimum Quality Rate (OQR) for Metropolitan Lima area is of the order of 101.5, and the Integrated Life Quality Rate (ILQR) is 68.55, what shows that environmental factors influence decisively on the quality of life of Lima inhabitants.

Many countries of Latin America have used the sectoral planning I united purpose to administer activities and coastal resources, but in most of the cases these programs have not reached the maturation. The antecedents of study socioeconòmicos and environmental that one has in the study area, added to environmental monitoreos, you interview and other mensuration instruments that are used, allow to face a design of Planning and Integrated Administration of the coastal area, based on a holistic perspective. The present work has as purpose to propose an a methodology that serves as base to assign the best uses from the territory to the productive activities and services in the port of the Callao, to minimize the environmental impacts originated by the growth of activities and for the population’s growth in the short and medium term. This allows to the National University bigger than San M...

This work evaluates the environmental risks resulting from the industrial fishing activity and mining activity (Antamina pipeline) in the port of Huarmey. This study is expected to contribute to the scientific knowledge of environmental risks, increase the quality of life of the population and protect the environment.

Muchos países de América Latina han empleado la planificación sectorial, un propósito para administrar actividades y recursos costeros, pero en la mayoría de los casos estos programas no han alcanzado la maduración. Los antecedentes de estudio socioeconómicos y ambientales que se tiene en el área de estudio, sumado a monitoreos ambientales, encuestas y otras instrumentos de medición que se utilizan, permite encarar un diseño de Planificación y Gestión Integrada de la zona costera, basados en una perspectiva holística. El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad proponer una una metodología que sirva de base para asignar los mejores usos del territorio a las actividades productivas y servicios en el puerto del Callao, para minimizar los impactos ambientales originados por el crecimiento de actividades y por el crecimiento de la poblacion en el corto y mediano plazo. Esto permit...

This present work makes part of the research project Environmental Evaluation and Recovery of the Bay of Paita, carried out in 2003 and sponsored by the High Research Council of the UNMSM. The present study has the aim of evaluating the environmental conditions of the Bay of Paita and its surrounding as well as to suggest solution strategies to the various environmental problems shown to improve populations’ life quality and to preserve environment and natural resources. Our conclusion is that there is impairment of both urban and physical environments, and activities incompatibility, which makes evident a lack of territorial ordering.
