<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"> <span lang="EN-US">In this work is developed a proposal of environment indicators needed for the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) process in Mexico’s Federal District (FD); through which are authorized the construction and realization of different work actions and activities. The methodology is based on the combination of cabinet and field work, performed in three stages. In the first, a documental review was carried out within the topic of Environment Impact (EI), the EIA and the study area, with a subsequent analysis of the environment indicators at an international, national and regional scale. In the second, the systematization of information was performed for the sixteen study cases at a local scale and the organization and analysis of a data base with the allotted information. And in the last stage, a field work was realized with participative observations in three verification sites and interview applications to the principal actors of the EIA process. These results allowed: to determine the main limitations within the EIA process (methodological, technical and operational), to propose an indicators scheme, and to formulate recommendations focused on the improvement of this Environment Public Policy instrument.</span><span lang="EN-US"><?xml:namespace prefix = o /><o:p></o:p></span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"> <span lang="EN-US"> </span> </p> <p> <br /> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="EN-US"></span> </p

Propuesta de un marco de indicadores de agua urbana para la Ciudad de México, 2005-2018

“…Dentro de la GIAU, una fase importante es la evaluación y el monitoreo de los planes de acción tanto en el nivel de cuenca como en escala local (Gangbazo, 2004), por lo que se requiere contar con marcos de indicadores adecuados (Pahl-Wostl et al, 2005;Bhaduri et al, 2016) que describan y comuniquen las condiciones actuales, fomenten el pensamiento crítico sobre las medidas correctivas requeridas y faciliten la participación de los diversos interesados en los procesos de toma de decisiones (Brugmann, 1997). De manera ideal, los indicadores sirven para proporcionar información esencial acerca de la viabilidad de un sistema y su tasa de cambio, y sobre cómo contribuyen al desarrollo sostenible del sistema en general (Perevochtchikova & Negrete;Tiburcio & Perevochtchikova, 2012).…”
