Resumen: Los países latinoamericanos han desarrollado diversos sistemas nacionales de ANP, algunas de las cuales denotan singularidades geológicas en marcos locales y regionales, que pueden perfilarse dentro de una estrategia territorial amplia y holística basada en el patrimonio geológico. Dado el déficit regional de geoparques, se propone una matriz de indicadores para evaluación de proyectos de geoparques aplicable en ANP, con el propósito de valorar territorios potenciales. Para este estudio se estimaron once sitios en cuatro naciones de América Latina, aplicando dos matrices de evaluación: una global y una propuesta regional; con el fin de observar el comportamiento individual de cada zona y la distribución de las categorías con relación al conjunto de datos. Como principal resultado se muestra el menester de fortalecer los aspectos comunicativos y socioeconómicos necesarios para la generación de geoparques. El uso de esta metodología permitirá visualizar los mejores prospectos entre las áreas de estudio y crear una valoración estándar para futuras estimaciones.
Adequate sanitation is essential for health, human well-being, the preservation of water resources, biodiversity, and the full enjoyment of human rights. Sanitation is a human right, and although it is linked to the human right to water (HRW), it has specific characteristics that deserve particular attention. These components are (1) availability; (2) quality; (3) physical accessibility; (4) affordability; (5) acceptability; (6) equality and non-discrimination; (7) government management and inter-institutional coordination; (8) access to information and participation; and (9) environmental protection. These components enable the analysis of other aspects that may not be fully considered from the traditional sanitation approach. This research aims to analyze the context of the realization of the human right to sanitation (HRS) in Mexico, for a future comprehensive assessment. The study was conducted through documentary and national news coverage research. It concluded that there are still significant challenges to realizing this human right in Mexico. Findings suggest that besides the infrastructure and pollution difficulties, there are other problems like physical and economic access to sanitation for the vulnerable population, inequality between urban and rural areas, the lack of maintenance work of sanitation infrastructure, and the lack of effective coordination between the authorities responsible for sanitation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
