Las intervenciones que reducen el contacto entre el ser humano y los vectores y que disminuyen la supervivencia de los vectores pueden suprimir e incluso detener la transmisión. Se sabe por experiencia que un control riguroso de los vectores permite reducir considerablemente la carga de las enfermedades.Es necesario adoptar medidas en cuatro áreas clave (los llamados pilares) para lograr un control de vectores eficaz, sostenible y adaptado a las circunstancias locales. Dichos pilares se corresponden con los elementos de la gestión integrada de vectores, y son los siguientes: (1) reforzar las acciones y la colaboración intersectorial e intrasectorial; (2) lograr la participación y movilización de las comunidades; (3) mejorar la vigilancia de los vectores y el monitoreo y la evaluación de las intervenciones; y (4) ampliar e integrar herramientas y enfoques. Las actividades que se desarrollan en estos cuatro pilares son complementarias unas de otras, y en ellas se observan algunos solapamientos evidentes | Pre-feasibility study status | 299123 | 2014 | 2020-05-01T04:07:31.380 | |||||||

Además, se les debe dotar de recursos y se deben generar contactos directos entre los escolares y los profesionales del medio ambiente. En este aspecto se propone orientar el trabajo de los practicantes hacia esta alternativa, que en su último semestre deben hacer 210 horas de prácticas. Para ello, la Alcaldía tendría que organizarlos, coordinarlos y pagar sus pólizas de seguros. En este sentido se dispone de un precedente en el municipio de Restrepo. Tras esto se podrán buscar actividades extraescolares y espacios que capten la atención de los niños, siendo esta una forma no sólo para concienciar a las próximas generaciones sino de también llegar a los adultos. Para ello se propone crear una red entre las escuelas de Villavicencio de forma que realicen actividades conjuntas, concursos, intercambios de experiencias, visitas a instalaciones de gestión ambiental y una revista, para estimular a los alumnos.Como ejemplo integrado de herramienta de concienciación y de dotación de recursos se podrá hacer uso del programa internacional GAP (Global Action Plan), que además tiene la ventaja de ser gratuito. Este programa consiste en desarrollar en el hogar una serie de recomendaciones en torno a 4 temas (compra y gestión de residuos domésticos, energía, agua y movilidad), con el apoyo de una plataforma online. Para cada uno de los cuatro temas se explican 6 sencillas propuestas de cambios de hábitos (sin necesidad de inversión), como apagar el standby de los aparatos eléctrónicos. A través de unos sencillos cuestionarios online se pueden evaluar las mejoras conseguidas. Los resultados de este programa, desarrollado en los 5 continentes, indican que se pueden conseguir unas reducción del 10% en materia de emisiones de movilidad, un 6% en emisiones del sector residencial y un 5% del consumo de agua.En cuanto a la creación de la red, esta permitirá generar espacios comunes de reflexión, no sólo al interior de las instituciones educativas sino también en el trabajo concertado con las demás instituciones y organizaciones con las cuales se asocian, para contribuir en el análisis de la problemática, la implementación de estrategias de intervención y en general en la proyección de propuestas de solución a las problemáticas ambientales concretas, todo ello desde una perspectiva atractiva para los escolares. | Pre-feasibility study status | 18000 | Climate finance (carbon credits) | 527673 | 2019 | 2020-05-01T04:07:31.380 | ||||||

The measure which is affected by the choice of material to heat the building due to the effect of sun rays. By choosing bright colors for painting the facade, as well as the application of reflective coatings for protecting roof insulation, a significantly lower degree of heat in the building is achieved during the summer period. Mesure implemented in the centre of Podgorica which is identified as a „hot island”. Additional benefits: Lower energy consumption for cooling; greater color stability, and therefore lower maintenance costs; brighter colors are cheaper than the dark ones; using anti-reflection coatings the life of waterproofing layers is prolonged and maintenance costs are reduced.o The measure that is applied especially during extremely warm days is correction of working hours and adapting to extreme weather conditions. It is mean discontinuation of outdoor works / prohibition on construction of buildings during extreme weather conditions. Relevant location(s) in Podgorica: for the entire city, Podgorica. Benefits: synergy with other adaptation measures will lead to the improvement of the health status of the working population in the event of extreme weather conditions. Negative external effects: reduced pace of construction during extreme weather conditions.o The City the construction one new and reconstruction of existing pools to the Sports Center. Additional benefits: Cooling effect during extreme hot days.Measure complexity: very complex. Also, improving the system of city fountains and public fountains, and have constructioned 4 new. Relevant location(s) in Podgorica: In the squares and city parks. Additional benefits: Cooling effect, availability of drinking water. Costs: about 7 000 euro and increase in maintenance costs. Measure complexity: Complex. Competent authority / organization: LLC "Water and Sewerage Utility Company" o We started to development of cadastre of urban greenery based on GIS technology. It is mean detailed records of green areas and maintenance units, facilitated planning and implementation of maintenance of public green spaces. Relevant location(s) in Podgorica: all public green spaces. Additional benefits: reduced maintenance costs; higher quality maintenance of green areas. Measure complexity: medium-term. Responsiable detected working groupe.o One of the measures we are implementing is renovation of hospitals, kindergartens, schools and other social infrastructure. Developing green areas around hospitals, kindergartens etc.; painting in brighter colors, installation of insulation for indoor cooling and heating. Additional benefits: easier stay of all socially vulnerable categories in these institutions and adaptation of vulnerable groups to climate change.

The recent change in provincial government may slow funding for CA's to accomplish this work, however most of London which is vulnerable to flooding has been effectively managed by property acquisition, flooding infrastructure and / or floodplain land use planning regulations. Fanshawe Dam provides substantial flood protection for portions of London and an extensive dyke system of 8 dykes protect the most vulnerable to flooding neighbourhoods. The West London Dyke is 2 km long and protects 1,200 structures from flooding. Recent upgrades to the dyke has completed one phase of raising the height of the dyke to reflect a higher factor of safety.

Muitos dados importantes para a análise da sustentabilidade, hoje, não se constituíam em problemáticas em décadas anteriores. Além disso, os critérios para acoleta de dados sofreram mudanças de um censo para outro. Dessa forma, a ausência de dados prejudica a qualidade da informação, porém não inviabiliza o trabalho, uma vez que a proposta é uma análise comparativa entre diferentes momentos do processo de desenvolvimento do município em estudo. Dessa forma, o uso dos mesmos dados para todos os períodos, fornece um parâmetro de análise que permite inferências sobre oprocesso em curso. | NÃO HÁ PROJETO DE MITIGAÇÃO OU PREVENÇÃO PARA DESASTRES CLIMÁTICOS NO MUNICÍPIO | 229651 | 2018 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-50.4892, -17.9685]} | 2020-05-01T04:07:31.380 | |||||
