Abstract

This work establishes a proposal for a domestic solid waste managment (DSW) in the A´I Dureno community, made up entirely of indigenous people of the Cofán nationality, located in the Sucumbíos province of the Ecuadorian Amazon. In this location are a group of houses built within the Millennium Communities program promoted by the national government, of which only 26 are inhabited with a total of 129 people. Currently more than half of the family units burn DSW as the only treatment, generating environmental impacts in the area. The methodology used consisted of diagnosing the socio-environmental conditions of the community through surveys, determining the per capita waste generation through a characterization applying the methodology of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and in the development of a proposal for a management model appropriate to the present demographic characteristics, from environmental education to final disposal. The acquired results determined that the per capita waste generation is 0.346 kg/person/day and the predominant category was the organic fraction with 64,7% of a total of 44,63 kg of DSW produced. The adaptation of an area for the generation of compost and a recycling system that allows obtaining economic resources for the benefit of the population is proposed.
