“Huella ecológica doméstica y su relación con estresores ambientales en el cantón Quevedo, Provincia Los Ríos”

The advancement of society has brought ecosystems to be exhaustively degraded, showing effects on all levels of life. Hence, this research was developed in six of the eleven parishes of the Quevedo city: San Camilo, El Guayacán, 7 de Octubre, Quevedo Centro (urban) and La Esperanza, San Carlos (rural), based on data from 472 surveys applied in June and July 2019 to the inhabitants to calculate the domestic ecological footprint. In this sense, the work describes the domestic ecological footprint of the Quevedo city and the relationship with environmental stressors. Through the use of the ecological footprint calculator of the Ministry of Environment and Water of Ecuador, the ecological footprint related to the consumption of agricultural and animal products, energy and paper products among urban and rural parishes and related to environmental stressors was evaluated. : number of inhabitants, number of dwellings, female / male ratio. The average value of the ecological footprint of Quevedo was 1.53 ± 1.17 hag, and the urban parishes presented an ecological footprint higher than the rural ones (1.59 hag vs 1.38 hag, respectively). The variables with which the ecological footprint was correlated were: proportion of women / men (positive correlation), close presence of evergreen forests (negative correlation) and the normalized difference vegetation index (positive correlation), therefore, the greater the amount of women and the normalized difference vegetation index, there is a greater ecological footprint, in the same way, in the absence of vegetation surrounding the parishes, the ecological footprint will increase. Based on the results, an ecological footprint mitigation strategy was established aimed at promoting good consumption habits in homes, improving the environmental situation in relation to the use of natural resources. In such a way that the increase in the ecological footprint in the parishes of the Quevedo city is closely related to the excessive consumption in relation to the provision of food, energy, wood and in turn by social components, which requires prompt action with the purpose of implementing sustainable consumption habits.
