Ciudades inteligentes, saludables y sostenibles, Eficiencia energética, Gestión de residuosResumen
Contexto: Este estudio explora el impacto de los indicadores ambientales en la calidad del aire, la gestión de residuos y la calidad del agua en las ciudades.
Objetivo: evaluar cómo estos indicadores pueden respaldar políticas urbanas sostenibles.
Metodología: La investigación utiliza un enfoque cuantitativo y descriptivo, empleando cuestionarios para la recopilación de datos a través de Formularios de Google, seguido de un análisis mediante estadística descriptiva y modelos de ecuaciones estructurales de mínimos cuadrados parciales. El estudio identifica cuatro indicadores ambientales principales y desarrolla un modelo inicial compuesto por 74 preguntas. Este modelo se evalúa por su fiabilidad, validez discriminante y validez convergente. El Factor de Inflación de la Varianza (FIV) se utiliza para analizar la colinealidad. El modelo final incluye valores R² y coeficientes de trayectoria, que tienen un alto poder explicativo.
Contribución: el estudio contribuye a la literatura al ofrecer un marco teórico sobre ciudades sostenibles. Desde un punto de vista académico, presenta una metodología eficiente para crear un mapa estratégico y un modelo estadístico que puede ser utilizado por los gestores municipales. La investigación proporciona a los responsables políticos un modelo validado que puede ayudar en la gestión y el monitoreo de los residuos urbanos, con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad ambiental y proteger la salud pública.
Resultados: los resultados sugieren que, si bien los indicadores ambientales tienen un impacto significativo en ciertas áreas, un perfeccionamiento del modelo podría ayudar a abordar mejor los desafíos de la sostenibilidad urbana.
