Strategies for release of pollution visual and sonica walk in science of Maracaibo, Zulia state

Abstract

An  investigation  is  presented  no  experimental,  descriptive  field  with  data  collection which  aimed  transverse  characterized  visual  and  noise  pollution  and  implement strategies disclosure contaminants such physical at Maracaibo's Paseo Ciencias. For the developing  of  these  work  it`s  consider  the  proposal  of Fuentes  and  Arguello  (2015), Méndez,  (2013),Canelones  (2007), Guijarro  et  al.,  (2015),  Alfie  and  Salinas  (2017), Espejo (2014)and Ayala (2017).Direct and indirect observational techniques were used with  the  respective  previously  elaborated  instruments.  About  direct  observation,  a matrix was built in order to identify the sources of sonic and visual pollution in the area. For  the  porpuse  of  indirect  observation,  a  survey  with  open-ended  questions  was conducted. The results obtained demonstrate that Paseo Ciencias, as it's a commercial and  dynamic  zone,  possesses  a  huge  amount  of  sonic  and  visual  pollution  in  almost every element that composes its sources. High volume music, electrodomestics, sirens and buses are the main sonic pollutants, whereas dumpsites, billboards, canopies, and kiosks are the major visual pollutants. Moreover, it is stated that the soaring presence of these pollutants disrupt the animic and physical states, and interpersonal relationships between citizens daily exposed to them and that the damage is proportional to the time of exposure. For these reasons, municipal entities must intervene in this area and search for solutions in order to solve the identified problems. This research demonstrates the sample  has  a  very  passive  attitude  towards  participation  in  programs  searching  for  a way  to  amend  the  situation.  Finally,  this  research  proved  there  are  few  suitable strategies to raise public awareness in this commercial site.
