Evaluación de impacto ambiental de la remodelación de la calle Vargas Machuca, en Los Rios - Babahoyo

Abstract

The study focuses on evaluating the environmental impact of the remodeling of “Vargas Machuca” Street in “Babahoyo” Canton. For this, on-site data collection was used, an experimental investigation was carried out and the Leopold Matrix was used as a key tool to evaluate the environmental impacts. In the experimental work, the noise impact was evaluated using a sound level meter and the levels were compared with environmental regulations. The concentrations of suspended particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) were measured to determine if they are within the relevant range. The Leopold Matrix was used to quantify the environmental impacts. This study contributes to scientific knowledge and has practical implications for urban project management.
