Environmental management proposals to contribute to the mitigation ofmicro-waste dumps in the Barrio Nuevo Golf, Mar del Plata (Argentina)

Abstract

The growth of cities at a territorial and population level requires to be accompanied by a correct management to waste, both in the transfer and in the final disposal of the same. This research is on the littoral of Nuevo Golf in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. His general aim aspires to identify and formulate the Environmental Management measures to mitigate its generation of micro garbage dumps. A qualitative-quantitative methodology is used, based mainly on locating micro-garbage dumps, its measurement, the identification of the type of waste and 50 surveys of neighbors. The field activity recognized and located 39 micro-garbage dumps that constitute an environmental pro-blem and represent environmental damage due to the probability of contamination of the soil, air and water. Also, it poses a risk to health, since it generates sources of proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms and promotes the spread of rodents. The results allow to contribute to a proposal for an Environmental Management Planbased on preventing, correcting and curing.
