Caracterización del sistema de contenerización de la ciudad de Riobamba mediante análisis multivariado.

Abstract

The correct management of urban solid waste has been a permanent concern for municipal governments due to the great volume generated. In order to improve the collection system of these waste, the Municipal Autonomous Decentralized Government of Riobamba in 2 013 used a containerization system based on the experience of door to door picking. In this investigation, the georreferenciation of the containers was made generating digital maps and was determined the perception of users about the implemented system, through the application and validation of research instruments. The data obtained were subjected to the multivariate analysis determining that the effectiveness, frequency, location and culture-municipal budget characterized the phenomenon. Regarding these factors, the daily collectionwas satisfactory for 528 users,while 302 affirmed the good condition of the containers, 407 their enough capacity and 384 coincided with an adequate location of the container. However, 232 users detected a bad smell due to lack of washing and 248 reported misuses. The characterization of containerization service will contribute to establish polities focused on their improvement.
