Abstract

Currently, the city of Pachacutec has developed an increase in the construction of single-family homes due to population migration and contributions from NGOs, agreements with local authorities on land benefits, but this has also involved a tendency towards the growth of self-construction or informal constructions since they do not have the basic requirements according to national regulatory standards for construction and permits, which has led to the generation of environmental impacts throughout the development of the construction process. The following research presents a problem of how the self-construction of single-family homes by residents influences the generation of environmental impacts in the city of Pachacutec - Ventanilla?, and the objective was to determine the influence of the construction of single-family homes on the generation of environmental impacts in the city of Pachacutec - Ventanilla. This research work opted for a quantitative type of research since for the development of the work the collection of statistical data was carried out, supported by analysis results based on numerical measurement in order to test the established hypotheses. A 5-question survey was developed for a sample of 380 inhabitants of the city of Pachacutec, obtaining results that prove the hypothesis raised, which is why it is concluded that the perception of the population regarding the construction activities of single-family homes is a factor in the generation of environmental impacts and action must be taken in this regard in all aspects, social, economic and environmental.
