| Abstract (English): |
The materials of construction mined out bodies are used as "sanitary" landfills or waste dump sites, thus representing an environmental issue. More than 75% of the mines in the province of Matanzas are abandoned. This situation led to this investigation. Based on the identification and validation of 16 variables and the in situ evaluation of 250 deposits, it was possible to create a data base that shows the characteristics of each of these areas. The application of the cluster analysis (Ward method) on the data allowed obtaining four groups of environmental management. Potential options of use were assigned to each group and proposals were provided for the identification of the objectives and the management programs. This facilitated the development of a rehabilitation procedure to be implemented in the degraded areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Las canteras de materiales para la construcción al dejar de ser minadas se usan, a menudo, como rellenos "sanitarios" o basureros, generando un problema ambiental. En la provincia de Matanzas más del 75 % de las canteras se encuentran abandonadas. Ello condujo a una investigación en la que, a partir de la identificación y validación de 16 variables, y su evaluación in situ en 250 canteras, pudo obtenerse una base de datos que refleja las características de cada uno de estos espacios. La aplicación del análisis de agrupamiento (método de Ward) a los datos permitió obtener cuatro grupos de manejo ambiental. A cada grupo se le asignó posibles variantes de uso, así como propuestas de objetivos y programas para el manejo, lo cual facilitó la elaboración de un procedimiento para la rehabilitación de estos espacios degradados.
