Training plan for the inhabitants of the Miguelillo-Portoviejo site in the event of landslide and flooding risks

Abstract

Environmental education is one of the best tools for the identification of problems related to pollution that affect the well-being of living beings and for the search of solutions for each case, and taking into account aptitudes and attitudes of respect for the same. In congruence with the above, the research whose results are presented here was developed with the objective of supporting the implementation of a training plan aimed at the inhabitants of the Miguelillo-Portoviejo site to face the risks of landslides and floods. For the execution of the study, the application of theoretical scientific methods (analysis and synthesis and induction and deduction) was used, which facilitated the evaluation of the information gathered through empirical methods such as observation and support techniques such as interviews and surveys. With the data recorded in the study, it was possible to demonstrate the lack of knowledge on environmental issues possessed by the residents. In conclusion, it has been considered that systematic training actions provide benefits in the presence of natural disasters and their response to these events, so it is important to provide constant training for the inhabitants.
