Socio-economic Factors in Estimating the Personal Water Footprint: the Case of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador

The present study aims to determine the existence of correlations between the personal water footprint (HH) estimated in a volumetric way (cubic meters / person), with certain socio-economic variables such as sex, age, family income, level of education, the type and age of the dwelling and the numbe...

description The present study aims to determine the existence of correlations between the personal water footprint (HH) estimated in a volumetric way (cubic meters / person), with certain socio-economic variables such as sex, age, family income, level of education, the type and age of the dwelling and the number of people with whom they share the dwelling. With a descriptive and exploratory research methodology, a virtual survey was conducted at the end of 2019 to the entire university community of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (teachers, administrators and students) at the main headquarters of Quito. It was also left open the possibility that people from outside the university could fill out the survey and in this way be able to assess whether the consumption of people from the university community who had received information on sustainable water use presented any difference with those who they had not received it. It was found that there is a significant correlation between HH and some of the socioeconomic variables analysed, such as family income, sex and educational level. It is also clear from the research that HH can be used as a good aggregate indicator of water consumption that helps to become aware of unsustainable patterns of consumption, and not being used as an instrument for hydrological management and planning due to concentration and simplicity of information it presents.

Con una metodología de investigación descriptiva y exploratoria, se realizó una encuesta virtual a finales de 2019 a toda la comunidad universitaria de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (docentes, administrativos y alumnos) en la sede principal de la ciudad de Quito. También se dejó abierta la posibilidad de que personas fuera de la universidad pudieran llenar la encuesta y de esta manera poder evaluar si el consumo de los miembros de la comunidad universitaria que habían recibido información sobre uso sustentable del agua, presentaba alguna diferencia con las personas que no la habían recibido. Se encontró que existe una correlación significativa entre la HH y algunas de las variables socioeconómicas analizadas como el ingreso familiar, el sexo y el nivel educativo. Se desprende también de la investigación que la HH puede ser utilizada como un buen indicador agregado de consumo de agua que ayude a tomar conciencia sobre patrones insostenibles de consumo, mas no es recomendable su utilización como instrumento para la gestión y planificación hidrológica por la concentración y sencillez de la información que presenta.O presente estudo tem por objetivo determinar a existência de correlações entre a pegada hídrica individual (PH) estimada de maneira volumétrica (metros cúbicos/pessoa) e determinadas variáveis socioeconômicas como sexo, idade, renda familiar, nível educacional, tipo e anos de moradia e número de pessoas com as quais a mesma é compartilhada. Apartir de uma metodologia de pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, realizou-se uma enquete virtual no final de 2019 dirigida a toda a comunidade universitária da Pontifícia UniversidadeCatólica do Equador (docentes, corpo administrativo e alunos) na sede principal da cidade de Quito. Além disso, deixou-se aberta a possibilidade de que pessoas de fora da universidade pudessem participar da enquete para que, dessa forma, fosse possível avaliar se o consumo de pessoas da comunidade universitária que receberam informações sobre o uso sustentável da água apresentava alguma diferença em relação àquele de pessoas que não as receberam. Descobriu-se que existe uma correlação significativa entre aPH e algumas variáveis socioeconômicas analisadas, como renda familiar, sexo e nível educacional. Concluiu-se também que a PH pode ser utilizada como um bom indicador agregado de consumo de água que ajude a notificar padrões insustentáveis de consumo, ainda que não seja recomendável sua utilização como instrumento para gestão e planificação hidrológica devido à concentração e à simplicidade da informação que apresenta.Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, Sede Ecuador2021-02-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlhttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/eg/article/view/258310.32719/25506641.2021.9.8Estudios de la Gestión: Revista Internacional de Administración; No. 9 (2021): Estudios de la Gestión: revista internacional de administración; 191-215Estudios de la Gestión: Revista Internacional de Administración; Núm. 9 (2021): Estudios de la Gestión: revista internacional de administración; 191-215Estudios de la Gestión: Revista Internacional de Administración; n. 9 (2021): Estudios de la Gestión: revista internacional de administración; 191-2152661-65132550-6641reponame:Revista Estudios de la Gestióninstname:Universidad Andina Simón Bolivarinstacron:UASBspahttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/eg/article/view/2583/2345https://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/eg/article/view/2583/3303https://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/eg/article/view/2583/3038info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-06-22T00:51:02Zoai:revistas.uasb.edu.ec:article/2583Portal de revistashttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/egInstitución privadahttp://www.uasb.edu.ec/https://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/eg/oaiEcuador2661-65132661-6513opendoar:.2022-06-22T00:51:02falsePortal de revistashttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/egInstitución privadahttp://www.uasb.edu.ec/https://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/eg/oaiEcuador2661-65132661-6513opendoar:.2022-06-22T00:51:02Revista Estudios de la Gestión - Universidad Andina Simón Bolivarfalse
