Formulación de una metodología para incorporar la actividad minera en los procesos de ordenamiento territorial en el Ecuador

Abstract

This study seeks to determine how to incorporate mining in territorial planning, from reflection described in opening chapters. In adittion, it tries to find what should be the most appropriate instruments and the related methodology for doing so, in order to achieve a proper and orderly operation of geological resources, from the point of economically and environmentally. Thus, it is intended to optimize the benefit of these resources and minimize impacts and environmental affectations. In the final chapter the proposal is validated through its application in a specific case.
