Item Efecto de la actividad antropogénica en la zona de amortiguamiento del Parque Nacional Santa Fe, Panamá(Universidad Especializada de las Américas, 2025-01-01)Se determinará y cuantificará los desechos sólidos antropogénicos en la zona de amortiguamiento del Parque Nacional Santa Fe. La metodología utilizada consistirá en clasificar y cuantificar con una lista de cotejo los desechos orgánicos e inorgánicos presentes en el área de estudio. Además, se identificarán los impactos antropogénicos presentes en esa zona que ponen en riesgo la sostenibilidad y la pureza del parque. Los datos se recogerán dos veces al mes de enero a abril de 2024. Los resultados se analizarán con estadística descriptiva. La gran cantidad de desechos sólidos de origen antropogénico nos indicaran si la población hace una disposición inadecuada de sus desechos y perturba de alguna manera el segmento que colinda con el Parque Nacional Santa Fe. Por lo antes descrito se pretende concientizar a la población mediante estrategias de educación ambiental de manera puntal en Alto de Piedra y en el distrito de Santa Fe, buscando esa área con menos impactos antropogénicos.Item Impacto de los desechos generados por la población sobre la calidad del agua del Río La Villa (Panamá)(REDES)This research consisted of measuring the impact caused by the management of solid, organic, and inorganic waste caused by the population of the Municipality of La Villa de Los Santos, present on the banks of the La Villa River. The methodology was based on classifying organic and inorganic waste, through a checklist; in three points, the Los Olivos spa, with Lat coordinates: 7°55'22.3680” Long .: 80°26'36.0960”, in the vicinity of the bridge over the La Villa River, with Lat coordinates: 7°56 '23 .5680” Long: 80°25'19.4880” and the town of El Higuerón, with Lat coordinates: 7°56'58.0200” Long: 80°24'50.5800”, behind the San Juan de Dios polyclinic. Collected data was tabulated and plotted using descriptive statistics using the Microsoft Excel 2010© program. The investigated areas yielded the following results, aluminum cans (26%) and plastic bags (29%) are the inorganic waste with the highest quantity, and organic waste including dead plants (42%) and cardboard (29%). It is deduced that the populations of the studied areas negatively influence the water quality of La Villa River in the middle and lower basin, indicating that deforestation to a large extent caused loss of vegetation cover. To mitigate this situation, it is necessary to empower and instruct society, implementing environmental education activities at all educational levels to reduce the scarce environmental culture regarding the disposal of organic and inorganic waste disposal.Item Actitud hacia la conservación ambiental, que manifiestan los estudiantes de la Universidad Especializada de las Américas Sede Azuero(REDES)The attitude of environmental conservation is a widespread concern, especially among upper-level students. 228 students of both sexes were randomly chosen, all of legal age, to whom a survey with 37 items was applied to evaluate the attitude of university students towards environmental conservation.

The data collected were tabulated and plotted using descriptive statistics, the Microsoft Excel (2010) program was used. The results showed that most of the students have an attitude of total agreement (61%) to protect the environment.
