Contaminación hídrica y derecho ambiental en Lircay, Huancavelica
Water pollution and environmental right in Lircay, HuancavelicaContenido principal del artículo
El estudio determinó la relación entre contaminación hídrica y derecho fundamental a un ambiente sano en Lircay, Huancavelica, 2024. Con una muestra de 268 pobladores y aplicando el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman, se obtuvo ρ = 0,74 (p = 0,001), evidenciando correlación positiva alta y significativa. A mayor percepción de contaminación, mayor vulneración de derechos ambientales. Las dimensiones del derecho fundamental mostraron correlaciones significativas: dignidad humana (ρ = 0,68), interés de pertenencia difusa (ρ = 0,54) y derecho finalista y personalista (ρ = 0,44). Los hallazgos confirman que la contaminación hídrica trasciende el ámbito ecológico, afectando directamente derechos humanos fundamentales. Se requieren políticas públicas que articulen gestión ambiental con protección de derechos, incorporando medidas de remediación, vigilancia ambiental y participación ciudadana.
The study determined the relationship between water pollution and the fundamental right to a healthy environment in Lircay, Huancavelica, 2024. With a sample of 268 residents and applying Spearman’s correlation coefficient, ρ = 0.74 (p = 0.001) was obtained, evidencing a high and significant positive correlation. Greater perception of pollution corresponds to greater violation of environmental rights. The dimensions of fundamental rights showed significant correlations: human dignity (ρ = 0.68), diffuse belonging interest (ρ = 0.54), and finalist and personalist right (ρ = 0.44). The findings confirm that water pollution transcends the ecological sphere, directly affecting fundamental human rights. Public policies are required that articulate environmental management with rights protection, incorporating remediation measures, environmental monitoring, and citizen participation.
