Estudio y Plan de Mitigación del Nivel de Ruido Ambiental en la Zona Urbana de la Ciudad del Puyo.

Abstract

This study was based on the monitoring of environmental noise levels present in the downtown area of the city of Puyo, the main objective of this study was to determine the level of environmental noise in the city of Puyo, in addition to the mitigation plan to minimize noise levels. For this, the statistical design of experiments was used to optimize the information generated about the process, in relation to the objectives set given the characteristics of the study, a completely randomized experimental design was used in addition to the fact that it was a non-experimental research, for the treatment of the results, logarithmic averages were used given the scale of measurement. The study area was divided into three zones which have a total of 14 monitoring points, obtaining the following results 69.10, 70.21, 70.60, 70.5, 71.69, 72.45, 71.50, 77.37, 68.83, 67.52, 70.98, 72.50, 71.12, 72.36 dB at each point respectively. Finally, we can say that in the city of Puyo in the selected area there is an average noise level of 71.86 and a maximum of 97.3 dB. It is recommended that the Municipality of Pastaza Canton and the pertinent authorities implement an Environmental Mitigation Plan for the proposed noise level, thus creating awareness of how the inhabitants of this city are being affected and implement the necessary measures to minimize this type of environmental problem.
