Training actions for the improvement of urban solid waste management and water protection

Abstract

Developing and maintaining a responsible attitude towards the care and protection of the environment and natural resources by virtue of managing sustainable development is, in Cuba, a demonstrated priority not only from the conception, organization and projection of the policies and projects that address these thematic; but also from the concrete results they exhibit. Responding to this task, this paper aims to socialize the experience in community training for the management of Urban Solid Waste and the protection of water resources from prevention in a Cuban locality. Theoretical methods were used: historical-logical, induction-deduction and analysis-synthesis; as empirical methods: observation, interview, survey, document review; integrated in Research-Action-Participation and supported by the materialistic dialectical method. Through these, a diagnosis of the regularities that characterize both problems was obtained and a group of actions were planned and executed within which the project execution stands out: For health and environmental culture in communities of Cabaiguán. The teachers involved in them, through the substantive university processes, addressed the topics with an educational and educational character, achieving satisfaction in the beneficiaries.
