Impact of Lake Chinchaycocha pollution on the right to a healthy environment in Ondores, 2018Contenido principal del artículo
El agua es esencial para la vida, sustentando la salud, el ecosistema y el desarrollo humano. El propósito del presente artículo fue determinar la relación entre la contaminación del lago Chinchaycocha y el derecho fundamental a gozar de un ambiente equilibrado y adecuado en Ondores, Junín, Perú en 2018. Se utilizó un diseño no experimental, con un alcance correlacional y un enfoque cuantitativo de corte transversal, que evaluó a 268 pobladores, utilizando un cuestionario como instrumento. Los resultados muestran que la población percibe alta contaminación en el lago Chinchaycocha, con preocupación por la extinción de especies y la pérdida sociocultural, demostrando las mujeres y personas mayores mayor sensibilidad ambiental. Aunque el 41% reconoce el derecho a un ambiente adecuado, existen limitaciones en su cumplimiento. La correlación moderada (0.566) entre contaminación y vulneración del derecho ambiental resalta la necesidad de integrar la gestión ambiental con la protección jurídica de los derechos individuales y colectivos para salvaguardar el bienestar comunitario.
Water is essential for life, sustaining health, the ecosystem, and human development. The purpose of this article was to determine the relationship between the pollution of Lake Chinchaycocha and the fundamental right to enjoy a balanced and adequate environment in Ondores, Junín, Peru, in 2018. A non-experimental design, with a correlational scope and a cross-sectional quantitative approach, was used to evaluate 268 residents using a questionnaire as an instrument. The results show that the population perceives high pollution in Lake Chinchaycocha, with concerns about species extinction and sociocultural loss, with women and older adults demonstrating greater environmental sensitivity. Although 41% recognize the right to an adequate environment, there are limitations in its fulfillment. The moderate correlation (0.566) between pollution and violations of environmental rights highlights the need to integrate environmental management with the legal protection of individual and collective rights to safeguard community well-being.
