Evaluación de una guía educativa para resolución de conflictos socio ambientales para actores responsables interesados

Abstract

The growing demand for the extraction of natural resources based on economic progress has generated disputes over territories between inhabitants and operators. From there, conflicts arise due to environmental damage that directly impact the living conditions of the communities. Most of the time, the means or tools used as measures for the prevention of socio-environmental conflicts are not used correctly and, as a consequence, a good management of them is not obtained. In this document, a compilation of tools for managing socio-environmental conflicts was presented in the form of an educational guide. It was disseminated through virtual training to an interest group belonging to the Limoncocha-Ecuador area, the knowledge of the participants was evaluated through two “pre-teaching” and “post-teaching” questionnaires. Finally, with the evaluation of the “pre-teaching” questionnaire, it was determined that there was no great prior knowledge on the part of the participants, which changed radically after the training with the “post-teaching” questionnaire where the participants assimilated and understood the knowledge to fullness.
