Resumen

This research analyzes the situation regarding the comprehensive and sustainable management of construction and demolition waste in the municipality of South Lima. It begins with the problem that the management and sustainable handling of construction and demolition waste from minor works (CDW-M) in South Lima is significantly limited by related factors. Survey respondents acknowledge that their own lack of knowledge, concerns about the sustainability of formal municipal services, reluctance to pay for services, and lack of participation in training programs exacerbate the situation. Furthermore, a lack of incentives, deficient services, and ineffective communication fail to meet citizens' expectations of efficiency and accessibility, pushing CDW-M generators toward informal alternatives. The methodology applied in this study, including content analysis, direct observation, interviews, and surveys, facilitated a proper analysis of the facts. This analysis will be useful for the municipalities involved and others that assume an appropriate role in defining actions, especially ordinances, regulations, policies, and reports that regulate and control construction and demolition waste (CDW). These results, presented succinctly, only highlight the significant lack of awareness regarding municipal obligations, the lack of environmental consciousness, and the unfavorable level of perception and knowledge among residents of South Lima regarding the CDW management service. The study reveals numerous deficiencies, the existence of uncontrolled dumpsites, and damage to public spaces caused by residents of South Lima. However, it does not rule out the possibility that informality could be formalized to support the process and improve service conditions.
