Abstract

The objective of this work is to propose a comprehensive waste management plan at the Simón Bolívar air base under ecological criteria. An exploratory research methodology is used through the review of scientific articles, the adequate management of waste considering ecological corridors as a reference to improve the criticism of these guidelines and establish a comprehensive ecological environmental management. In the research carried out, the conditions of the existing and endemic vegetation are analyzed, and new proposals are made. The workshops carried out were developed with focus groups using the participatory method to propose the intelligent waste system. It is concluded that the application of intelligent systems in waste management obtains economic and environmental benefits and that the designs of ecological corridors improve the urban image of the Simón Bolívar air base.
