| description | Introduction: Solid waste can have significant environmental and public health impacts, especially in protected areas such as the Los Roques Archipelago National Park (LRANP), where tourism is intense. Objective: To characterize the solid waste generated by households, hostels, and businesses in LRANP. Methodology: A stratified random sampling was carried out during one week in November 2022. Waste was classified by type, volume, and loose density, following the method proposed by Cabañas-Pinedo, Díaz-Sánchez & Oliva (2019). Results: A total of 823.25 kg of solid waste was recorded, with organic matter as the dominant category (58%), followed by plastic, paper/cardboard, and glass. Hostels were the largest contributors (19.76 kg/day), followed by households (13.18 kg/day) and businesses (5.44 kg/day). Plastic had the highest volume, while glass had the highest loose density (0.93 kg/m³). Waste generation increased on days with higher tourist activity (Thursday to Saturday). Conclusions: Waste generation is strongly influenced by tourism. The results underscore the need for an integrated waste management strategy tailored to island conditions, with emphasis on prevention, recycling, and community education. |

En áreas protegidas, como el Parque Nacional Archipiélago Los Roques (PNALR), esta problemática se agudiza por la actividad turística. Objetivo: caracterizar los residuos sólidos generados por viviendas, hostales y comercios en el PNALR. Metodología: se aplicó un muestreo aleatorio estratificado durante una semana (noviembre 2022), y se clasificaron los residuos por tipo, volumen y densidad. Se utilizó la metodología de Cabañas-Pinedo, Díaz-Sánchez y Oliva (2019). Resultados: se generaron 823,25 kg de residuos sólidos, con predominio de materia orgánica (58 %) y materiales inorgánicos como plástico, papel/cartón y vidrio. Los hostales fueron los principales generadores (19,76 kg/día), seguidos de viviendas (13,18 kg/día) y comercios (5,44 kg/día). El mayor volumen correspondió al plástico, mientras que el vidrio presentó la mayor densidad (0,93 kg/m³). La generación aumentó en días de mayor afluencia turística (jueves a sábado). Conclusiones: se evidencian patrones de generación asociados al turismo, lo que resalta la necesidad de implementar un sistema de gestión integral de residuos adaptado al contexto insular, mediante estrategias de prevención, reciclaje y educación ambiental.FLACSO Ecuador2025-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.flacsoandes.edu.ec/letrasverdes/article/view/632610.17141/letrasverdes.38.2025.6326Letras Verdes.
