The purpose of this work is to describe, study and research on the Environmental Culture on the beaches of Cantón San Vicente. Through the REDATAM statistical software, the UR variables (Urban and Rural) were considered to define the population and the different activities that its inhabitants carry out as a means of family economic development.
The main objectives that were set to promote and determine the relevant knowledge of the coastal area reached various techniques where adequate and satisfactory observation is allowed for the users of said beaches, through the generation of public policies, plans, programs and strategies that lead to improve conditions and quality of life. Public policy in relation to Environmental Culture could not be applied to its full potential.
The information collected came from field research and bibliographies, through surveys applied to the 4 beaches of Cantón San Vicente, among which Playa Canoa, Briceño, Punta Napo and San Vicente are mentioned, using stratified random sampling with proportional allocation in the period from August 20 to 25, 2016. The SPSS 21.0 software yielded results in which the inhabitants consider it important to know the certain facets that identify the type of environmental culture and the proper management to be carried out; by means of which a consistent and applicable development is achieved for sustainability and general growth on the beaches of Cantón San Vicente.
Key Words: Environmental Culture, Observation, economic development, management, strategies.
In the current context, the development of an environmental culture supposes a change in man's conception of himself and his place in the world, and consequently of his place with respect to other men, with society and with nature (Ramos PB, 2003). So much so that a progressive succession of traditional economic development is based on a model of sustainable socio-economic development, under an ecosystem service approach.
In particular, beaches are coastal ecosystems that support great environmental unconsciousness, however, in recent decades it has been decreasing, probably because it belongs to the Neotropical Bioregion. In addition, population development has a marked influence on their environment, which is why they receive an increasing variety of anthropogenic impacts that lead to contamination, mining (extraction of sand), exploitation of coastal species, urbanization and intensive tourism.
On the other hand, tourism in the world has become an industry that has generated billions of dollars in recent decades and its influence has transformed certain families in coastal society and its environment, this activity also plays an important role in the economy of the region, and is expected to increase over the next few years, due to how the world population is increasing, for another point making a comparison According to (Blog Ecuador Natural Regions, 2013) Galapagos Islands, You can identify the greater relevance that exists for the numerous endemic species and for the studies of Charles Darwin that led him to establish his theory of Evolution.
That is, by natural selection it is described that these Islands are called the Enchanted Islands touristically, for their incomparable flora and fauna found there it is practically unique and cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Ecuador, whose territory is part of several of the most important ecosystems on the planet as indicated in paragraph two, therefore whose population faces the problems of developing countries, where it has been affected by environmental problems However, within the country, there are many particularities that have shaped development styles over time and the environmental profile of Ecuador today (Noboa, 2011).
In its beginnings, the socioeconomic development of the coastal areas Esmeraldas, Manabí, Santa Elena and Guayas depended to a great extent on agriculture, livestock and fishing, helping to stimulate the sectional and national economy, however, nowadays these activities increasingly They are decreasing giving way to tourism, which has led to other types of anthropic impacts that society has not yet faced with adequate standards.
Thus, observing the problems indicated in the previous paragraphs that exist on the beaches of Ecuador, it is important to note that the beaches of the canton of San Vicente are not exempt from these difficulties. The objective of this essay is to analyze the environmental culture of the inhabitants of the San Vicente Canton, promoting tourism in a conscious and appropriate way. Being one of the questions that must be asked to differentiate the relationship between the principles of environmental culture with the increase in tourist visits.
According to (UN, 2000) Because of this, the UN seeks to achieve «sustainable development». This concept means the fact of achieving the greatest development of peoples without endangering the environment. To this end, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) was created in 1972, which is responsible for promoting environmental activities and creating awareness among the population about the importance of caring for the environment. These organizations pressure or motivate the increase of environmental culture in the coastal areas of our country,
With the analysis of an environmental culture, it is possible to promote significant knowledge about the environment in coastal areas. This is another of the questions that helps to identify a series of techniques both for the care of fishermen, merchants and other people involved in tourism, through field observation and other research instruments. By mentioning this objective, it is sought that humanity or social groups obtain essential tools and resources that help mitigate the environmental problems that usually occur occasionally on the beaches of the canton of San Vicente.
A relevant point that the trial will determine is the growth of the population in recent years on the coasts of the beaches of San Vicente, through analysis and surveys carried out with the firm purpose of identifying whether there are greater or lesser anthropic impacts, since the hypothesis states that the main problem is population growth given in the short term, despite the natural events that have hit our province, for this reason this natural difficulty has reached a notary decrease in inhabitants, mainly in the San Vicente cantons. and Bahía de Caráquez.
Background of the Environmental Culture
According to (Santana Talavera A., 2006) The origin of Environmental Culture is a story based on the production of phenomena that contribute, through the symbolic representation or reworking of material structures to understand, reproduce or transform the social system, that is, all the practices and institutions dedicated to administration and support. Likewise (Gonzalez, 2002), he relates it to the acquisition of representations, attitudes, habits, behaviors and values tending to favor a better cultural relationship, referring to the lack of culture or loss of friendly cultural patterns to decrease the impact and problems environmental. In such a way (Perez JI,2007) refers to the role of nature in human life and was born with the aim of identifying the processes of successive and increasing modifications resulting from the interaction between society and nature.
He also cited (Garcia, 2008) becomes the focus of attention for international government agencies and entities due to its importance for the survival of life on Earth. Since then, a journey through different scenarios for discussion and analysis has been experienced, allowing the current conceptualization of Environmental Education as the indispensable strategy to achieve the cultural and social changes necessary to achieve environmental preservation. In the same way (Alea, 2010) it arises in the context of global concern about the serious destabilization of natural systems, which highlights the unsustainability of the industrial development paradigm or "development", and leads the international community to the approach of the need for changes in the sciences, among them,the sciences of education, with the aim of responding to the growing and new problems facing humanity.
Also (Hernández FM, 2009) The understanding of history among local and temporary residents is essential to analyze the needs and tensions throughout history. The sociocultural problems that arise from there to understand the formation of a specific culture, given by its temporality, expressions, sociability and a leisure that includes passive or active.
With what has been quoted from all these previous authors, it is understood that the environmental environment has been invaded, destroyed and diverted from its natural environment. - I can mention several mitigating factors that have influenced the origin of environmental culture among them:
- The loss of our cultural values The ancestral ignorance Food alteration Contamination in fishing (gasoline, diesel, motor etc.) The bad handling of shellfish
In reference to the loss of cultural values, disrespect for the marine environment is mentioned, since, through ancestral ignorance, it has led to altering the ecosystem, which has altered the food cycle; therefore, to acquire seafood, some variety of oil has been used; which has forgotten how to handle seafood.
All this has led to the destruction of the maritime shores, filling them with contamination of oils, plastics and highly dangerous residues for marine fauna. This also affects nature, drastically changing plants, flowers and land for their production; therefore, it affects our air, let's remember that everything in nature is a cycle and that one link leads to another link.
This has been a transition that has led to improving the natural environment, which has drastically allowed the change of beach, therefore, the process of transforming nature over time will focus on determining that society is organized and apply instruments and techniques for better development by man throughout environmental cycles.
When mentioning environmental culture, it refers to the world level, since disorientation, little interest and bad practices cultures are existing throughout the world, for this reason, when analyzing the definition of cultural origin, the progress and development of science over the years, with the sole purpose of proposing changes, applying environmental education where it guarantees a complete knowledge avoiding problems in society.
In order to achieve an understanding based on stories, several alternatives must be analyzed, such as an environmental action plan, whereby humanity can pass on to commitment and the will to prevent bad habits and inappropriate ancestral customs with the sole objective of find environmental improvements that avoid cultural problems.
Definitions of Processes and Environmental Culture
According to (Ramos PB, 2003) it is an adaptive and / or assimilation of environments, which allow societies to maintain a certain balance with the external environment, through technique, the necessary premise in social formations, as a substratum of human existence and performance. While (Perez JI, 2006) argues that environmental culture is a strategy that can help solve environmental problems, its importance and application consist in that it must be consistent with the environmental, social and cultural conditions of the communities or regions.
In the same way (Merino, 2009) defines training aimed at teaching the operation of natural environments so that human beings can adapt to them without harming nature, these people must learn to lead a sustainable life that reduces the impact human on the environment and that allows the subsistence of the planet.
And finally (Marcote, 2009) plays a key role in the definition and implementation of sustainability policies. As a mediator between behavior and environment, it forms the structure through which the interaction between people and their changing environments facilitates or limits sustainable development. In this process, environmental education and the transmission of values are essential basic tools to drive social change and face the challenges of climate change. Where (Morales, 2010) Environmental culture is the formal and informal educational process that seeks to generate environmental awareness and culture, as well as the promotion of attitudes, aptitudes, values and knowledge, for the benefit of establishing sustainability. Environmental education must occur at all times of the existence of the individual,adequately to the circumstances in which he lives.
For this reason (Ecured, 2016) it allows to recognize values and clarify concepts in order to promote the skills and attitudes necessary to understand and appreciate the interrelationships between man, his culture and his biophysical environment, it also involves practice in decision making and in the elaboration of a code of conduct with respect to issues related to the quality of the environment.
In reference to these authors, it is indicated that the inhabitants, social groups and other community actors in this case of the San Vicente canton should identify mechanisms, such as talks, workshops, vacation courses through management plans that allow motivating the care and protection of the environment. On the other hand, it is important to include in the conventional education of children and young people skills and competences that help them understand the importance and richness of the coastal zones, as well as the comparison of natural biological cycles in theory and in practice. with our real environment.
The other inhabitants should also focus their objectives on strengthening their knowledge regarding biological cycles arising in our nature, methodological techniques for mitigating environmental impacts, since they are precisely the direct beneficiaries of the benefits offered by these coastal areas. For this reason the protection and care of the environment, leads over time to realize and know the protection pathways provided by the ecosystem with the sole objective of allowing or having a better physical and natural development.
Within the environment, both economic and social changes usually occur, which define past and current principles, where they mark different expressions that allow the culture to obtain different nuances, in addition, the conservation of the environment reveals the growth of activity related to the close link of tourism development, linked to the economic, social, and political aspects of the area.
Human needs cross various connection problems, with the ancestral nature, which allows visualizing the impacts caused by the misinterpretation of environmental sustainability codes. Focused on improving efforts and the ability to continue supporting coastal resource management operations, in which it would greatly help wastewater treatment plants overloaded with waste, such as drainage, among other aspects that determine how to manage the pollution residues through which the San Vicente Canton coastal areas pass.
With all these points described, all the transformation processes are identified, applying new development techniques that seek to adopt different organizational forms, to obtain mediating tools around a built environment where man involves his environment. At the same time, it determines resolution mechanisms where it is possible to control all the natural impacts that occur within the region, since with adequate control it is possible to determine all the consequences and events that are in operation.
Environmental crisis on the beaches
According to (León, 2009) it becomes essentially cultural, to overcome the crisis and return to a point of harmonious relationship between nature and society, new conceptions are required where values, ideologies, traditions, scientific and empirical knowledge are integrated. For this, indicators are proposed to be used in the diagnosis of the community environmental culture, based on the principles of participatory action research.
In the same way (Fernandez, 2016) The oceans, seas, beaches are being polluted by unconscious people, whether by action, omission or negligence. Some do not realize it, many do not care, and few are concerned. Examples of these are the continuous human activities, such as: fertilizer residues, paints, garbage, septic tank spills, treatment plants or sewage. Natural processes, together with poor planning, cause excess rain to drag everything into the sea, since the rain overflows into the sewers.
And that is why (Moreno, 2011) considers it as a complex phenomenon of uncertain evolution as a result of a socio-historical process whose origins go back to the studies of the modern project and must be traced in a cluster of circumstances that express the conditions of an identified socioeconomic model. with the sustainable growth of production and economic magnitudes. In a study (Robledo, 2003) on The current environmental crisis is serious, a recent report by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), called GEO 2000, concludes that the current course of things is unsustainable and It is no longer an option to postpone remedies any longer, that is, it affects all known ecosystems.
But (Arnoletto) In the days, Humanity is immersed in a complex environmental crisis, with multiple manifestations of deterioration and exhaustion, the product of an interaction of man with his environment governed by an anthropocentric and predatory vision, which leads him to exploit limitlessly its natural environment, without taking into account that it also depends on complex natural processes to survive on planet Earth.
According to the studies carried out by Yarima, Fernández, Robledo, Moreno, they reveal that there is an ecosystem totally destroyed by anthropic effects, it is the coincidence that everyone has with respect to the general environmental culture. For example; waste management "plastics, cardboard and polyethylene material" and audiovisual control is a fundamental part of the natural environment, where you can see the environment in a natural way that leads to discovering the true harmony of the place.
The environmental crisis normally originates from the selfishness and consumerism of a capitalist society, thus the bibliographic analyzes and surveys applied in this essay have not been demonstrated. This trend of consumerism has generated new impacts on the environment, causing major diseases that attract bacteria, viruses, etc., such as dengue, chicungunya and zika. On the other hand, the presence of acid rain in the coastal zone exterminate large areas of forest located on the shores of the beaches, due to this roughing area there are many losses of marine crustaceans in mangroves.
This crisis affects both the climate and its fishing production that is done by the community members who are settled in the towns or villages located near the beach who do artisanal fishing, with which they feed daily. These atmospheric changes show the importance of looking back to learn the importance of marine management both in the continental environment, and the control of fishing with large vessels offshore.
Environmental Quality in Coastal Areas
According to (Álvarez, 2011) It is a fundamental part of building and inhabiting the city, it requires shared efforts between the State, institutions and the community, which, with positive effects, significantly change the way of living in the city and urgently clarify the ways of more effective urban intervention. In the same way (Cervantes, 2013) The environmental quality is focused on the beaches, for this reason it is used. The CAPT "Environmental quality in tourist beaches" has been normally estimated according to several dissimilar factors, such as the degree of physical security that is guaranteed to the user.
The distribution for the maintenance of the beaches at present influences much in the economic growth, totally neglecting to the application of cultures that prevent the environmental protection in coastal zones. The lack of environmental education is another fundamental part that determines a culture, the little interest related to the care of the beaches of both internal and external inhabitants, cause them to remain neglected and dirty, thus allowing a notorious distance from tourists, since they maintain another type of cultural education to maintain its beaches.
For this reason, beaches should be considered sensitive natural spaces, where work must be done based on management from a point of view of both quality and respect for the environment, an important aspect that must be taken into account in environmental quality is awareness raising where beach dwellers are allowed to carry out various activities that teach and give interest to environmental values. All this is obtained by investigating and deepening analyzes obtained on the states of the environment, and thus being able to satisfy the needs of man and / or ecosystems with the sole purpose of preventing quality environmental pollution in coastal areas.
With regard to the CAPT application, in the San Vicente canton it is notoriously applying this type of policies, that is to say, the municipal guidelines are carrying out action plans that promote positive changes according to an Environmental Quality of Tourist Beaches in the canton.
Sustainable development within an Environmental Culture
According to (Maicedo, 2005), it arises negatively, as a result of the analysis of the world situation, which can be described as a planetary emergency as an unsustainable situation that seriously threatens the future of humanity. It is for this reason (Rovira, 2010) Its origin is from the processes derived from population growth and industrialization. The concept of sustainable development was used for the first time in the report called "Our common future", published in 1987 by the World Commission on Environment and Development, where they identify the elements of the interrelation between environment and development.
Likewise (Monterrey, 2010) it is a function of the natural characteristics of the system and of the pressures and interventions that are exerted on it, emphasizing the resilience of the system and recognizing the irreversible artificialization of natural systems as a consequence of human interventions. throughout history.
Due to this impulse (Ramirez, 2011) it is directly related to the so-called environmental crisis, which is not a recent or new phenomenon, since its first expressions began to be analyzed in the sixties of the last century (almost fifty years ago). From the same representation (Boff, 2012) is any action aimed at maintaining the energetic, informational, physicochemical conditions that make all beings sustainable, especially the living Earth, the community of life and human life, seeking their continuity, and also attend to the needs of the present and future generations, in such a way that natural capital is maintained and its capacity for regeneration, reproduction and eco-evolution is enriched.
But (Peter, 2014) is not explicit, but it is the result of a system of reasoning applied to approach it, clarifying the situation requires identifying the true objectives of sustainability taking into account the usual notion of an economic system, what are the recommendations reasonable to attend to it and what are the limitations of this approach. In this way (Foladori, 2014) is one who responds to the needs of the present in an egalitarian way, but without compromising the possibilities of survival and prosperity for future generations.
In accordance with the aforementioned, by these authors sustainable development is defined as a comprehensive process that requires commitments and responsibilities that seek to compensate the needs of the present without compromising different contents of future ideas that seek to promote the strategic change of both needs and priority limits to the quality of life within a sustainable environmental culture.
With regard to the San Vicente canton, according to what has been reviewed in the bibliographies, it can be described that there are currently very revealing advances, for this reason all the development progress that has been taking place must be expressed, such as: the innovation of a deteriorating boardwalk, the improvement of the transit routes in good condition and with signs according to the area, dispensable sewers, garbage collection, elimination of street vendors, etc. All this generates better sustainable development and has guaranteed progress to the environmental culture of the beaches. In addition, the restructuring and progressive change of the areas around the beaches was carried out, where an ecological project was implemented that allows its tourists, both local and foreign, to give importance to the coastal area of San Vicente,not only as a tourist canton but also as a cultural zone.
Sustainable management of the beaches
According to (Piqueras, 1999) the characteristics of the coastal resources and how the integrated management of the coastline can be one of the keys to the sustainable development of activities such as tourism. Reflects on new approaches to business management based primarily on customer satisfaction and its application to the coast. This new philosophy forces the adoption of a new management structure and justifies a rethink in the way of understanding beaches. Of such condition (Frensec, 2014) to manage is to make correct decisions that bring us closer to a desired state, to a vision of the future. In the case of the management of natural public goods, management must make the best decisions for society while maintaining the functionality of natural systems.
Where (Quintana, 2013) they perform multiple ecological functions, three of which are the most relevant: acting as repositories of biodiversity, offering protection to the coast, and satisfying human leisure needs. Considering the beaches as socio-ecological systems and the Integrated Management of Coastal Zones.
As mentioned in previous paragraphs based on the sustainable management of beaches, it should be emphasized that mentioning keys to sustainable development supports comprehensive management satisfaction, where it focuses on both local and external inhabitants seeking responsibilities that justify a structural adoption of their own benefit. like sustainable development. The canton of San Vicente is currently developing local development programs in the communities in the area in order to mitigate environmental impacts through training plans.
Analysis of the Environmental Culture for the Sustainability of the beaches of Cantón San
Considerations for information analysis
Currently, the canton of San Vicente has approximately 33 kilometers of white sand beaches, 18 km from the beach, Los Perales, Punta Napo, Briceño and Canoa, according to (Decentralized Government of Canton San Vicente, 2015). The inhabitants of the San Vicente canton culturally have a clear perception of solid waste management, hygiene, cleaning, conservation and use of beaches. The beaches of this Canton are considered as the main tourist attractions of the Province, valued nationally and internationally.
The Decentralized Autonomous Government of the Canton San Vicente, through the Department of Environmental Management, under the performance of its operational staff: managers, inspectors, collectors carry out beach cleaning activities, collection and management of their solid waste, Also, through the staff of its Municipal Commissioner: Commissioner and Municipal Police regulates the use of public spaces by natural and legal persons. Other state entities, such as the Ministry of the Environment, exercise the leading role in environmental management, which guarantees a healthy and ecologically balanced environment with the aim of making the country a nation that conserves and sustainably uses its biodiversity, maintains and improves its quality. environmental, promoting sustainable development and social justice, recognizing water,soil and air as strategic natural resources.
El Cantón has four main beaches: Canoa, Briceño, Punta Napo and Los Perales, which have hotel services, formal and informal shops, restaurants; Fishing vessel transit areas and recreational areas that generate their negative impact in the area and in turn also generate solid, liquid and gaseous residues that affect the quality of water and sand, causing the death of crustaceans, fish and others, also deteriorating the decoration of the beaches.
Results Methodology
The research is descriptive, allowing the development of a scale methodology from 1 to 4, such as: 1. Poor, 2. Regular, 3. Good, 4. Very good, showing a minimum and a maximum for each question from the surveys carried out. randomly and stratified 45% individuals in the urban area and 55% in the rural area comprising a sample of 100 individuals from the total population of Catón San Vicente, to describe aspects of environmental culture reflected in the applied instrument, reflected in the nine-question questionnaire in the context of the survey carried out.
Likewise, evaluate the results obtained in the survey taking into consideration the significance of sustainable development as satisfying current needs permanently, without compromising the satisfaction of future generations' needs.
However, in the present work it is proposed to develop an analysis of the environmental culture for the sustainability of the beaches of the San Vicente canton, focused on the cultural practice of both local and foreign people, motivating the interest in solving problems, in the same way integrating environmental elements that contribute to the best cultural practice involving the canton (Table 1 and Annex 1).

Analysis of the results
Figure 1. Analysis of the Environmental Culture of beaches in women and men of the San Vicente Canton.
A total of 100 people were surveyed in the collection of information for the Analysis of the Environmental Culture of the Canton San Vicente, considering this number as representative for the number of 22,025 inhabitants that the canton has, of which 70 were directed at women and 30 men (Figure 1); the responses were qualitative (Very good, Good, Fair and Poor), proportional according to gender (women, men), number of respondents (100 individuals), and using 9 questions under adjustment of the reliability statistic of 0, 97, as the development of the following questionnaire is shown:
- How do you assess the state of hygiene and cleanliness of the beaches?
With regard to this question, they answered: 30% women and 10% men very good; Well 20% women and 13% men; Regular 13% for women and 5% men; Bad 7% women and 2% men. As a result, the state of hygiene and cleanliness of the beaches for women and men is very good, which means that the management is being carried out in a responsible manner.
- How do you consider the method of decontamination of the types of waste?
Based on this question they answered: 27% women and 13% men very good; Well 23% women and 10% men; Regular 17% for women and 4% men; Bad 3% women and 3% men.
What emerges is that the method of decontamination of the types of waste for women Very Good and men give a good result where appropriate that the implementation of various types of programs or methods would be satisfactory to the beaches.
- How do you consider the culture of bathers and visitors in the care and conservation of the beaches?
Answering this question they answered: very good 37% women and 14% men; Well, 13% women and 10% men; Regular 15% for women and 4% men; Bad 5% women and 2% men. Concluding with this question, it can be said that Women and Men in relation to the culture of bathers and visitors in the care and conservation of beaches, show results, Very Good, which in conclusion determine that the culture of both bathers and visitors is favorable for the Canton beaches.
- How do you consider an environmental decontamination plan on the beaches?
Responding to this question they answered: very good 50% women and 10% men; Well 10% women and 12% men; Regular 7% for women and 6% men; Bad 3% women and 2% men. Starting from the answer that, if they consider an environmental decontamination plan, it can be said that women show greater acceptance than in response from the opposite sex, where they consider this plan a strategy of improvement and change for the beaches of the Canton.
- How do you consider protecting the environment on the beaches?
Referring to this question they answered: 20% women and 15% men very good; Well 32% women and 10% men; Regular 13% for women and 3% men; Bad 5% women and 2% men. We can know that the result of how they consider the protection of the environment on beaches is different, since for men environmental protection is beneficial, while women determine it as a balanced tool for beaches.
- How do you consider environmental recycling on the beaches of the San Vicente canton?
Based on this question they answered: 29% women and 12% men very good; Well, 11% women and 6% men; Regular 20% for women and 10% men; Bad 10% women and 4% men. This result for both women and men shows very good, that is, environmental recycling on the beaches of Cantón San Vicente is beneficial for both the environment and recyclers.
- According to your activity, how do you consider its contribution to the environmental culture on the beaches?
In relation to this question they answered: very good 25% women and 13% men; Good 37% women and 10% men; Regular 5% for women and 4% men; Bad 3% women and 3% men. Therefore, regarding the contribution by the different activity to which it is dedicated, it can be said that the result of women is good, which represents an ideal contribution, while for men the highest result is very good. which represents a better cultural contribution.
- How do you consider conducting campaigns, mingas and awareness workshops on the beaches of the canton of San Vicente?
They answered: very good 30% women and 10% men; Well 20% women and 13% men; Regular 13% for women and 5% men; Bad 7% women and 2% men. For women and men, they consider this type of training and initiative benign, to contribute to the environmental sustainability of the beaches of the Canton.
- How do you generally assess the state of conservation of the beaches?
With regard to this question, they answered: 15% women and 10% men very good; Well 40% women and 15% men; Regular 10% for women and 3% men; Bad 5% women and 2% men. According to women and men consider that the state of conservation of the beaches is Good, it could be said that under the current management, such as cleaning and hygiene and uses, these areas present a healthy state under the ecosystem approach.

According to the topic we are dealing with, we can describe that the Environmental Culture has obtained a favorable growth towards the population, being this reliable for the San Vicente Canton, the applied method shows that the reliability is 0.97 of 1, which determines that the inhabitants consider more importantly, an environmental culture fixation on the beaches of Cantón San Vicente.
CONCLUSIONS
- The inhabitants of the San Vicente Canton have an environmental friendly beach culture with the Ecosystem, aware of the anthropogenic impacts generated by the inappropriate use of these areas, and also of waste management. There are few differences in cultural terms between women and men in relation to the management of the beach ecosystem of the Canton San Vicente Due to the tourist boom in our country that is developing lately, and especially in the province of Manabí, the lack of training in population in terms of an environmental culture for sustenance, in this case of the Cato San Vicente, it is very disadvantageous that tourist operators do not have the necessary interest and discover the wealth that this Canton has.A personal criterion should develop an ecological tourism, including talks eye-catching,discover natural routes in such a way that allows foreign and national tourists to visit San Vicente. For this reason it is important that you educate yourself in local institutions creating an awareness of care and protection of the importance of preserving nature and nature. preservation of the ecosystems that exist in San Vicente; strengthen those people who have knowledge of the above, and thus together they will have a sustainable and sustainable development of this beautiful Canton of San Vicente.of the importance of conserving nature and preserving the ecosystems that exist in San Vicente; strengthen those people who have knowledge of the above, and thus together they will have a sustainable and sustainable development of this beautiful Canton of San Vicente.of the importance of conserving nature and preserving the ecosystems that exist in San Vicente; strengthen those people who have knowledge of the above, and thus together they will have a sustainable and sustainable development of this beautiful Canton of San Vicente.
