Resumen

The objective of this research is to determine the relationship between the integrated management of municipal solid waste and sustainable development in Abancay, Peru. The methodology corresponded to a quantitative investigation of correlational study level, with a population of 72,277, from which a statistical sample of 383 inhabitants was obtained. Through the investigative process, it was possible to specify the existence of weaknesses in the integral management of solid waste carried out by the municipality, highlighting a conclusion of a statistically significant association between both variables. This was verified through a hypothesis contrast, which allowed Kendall's tau_b correlation coefficient, to obtain a p of 0.000, evidently lower than the 0.05 significance level, with which the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternate hypothesis was accepted, with a degree of moderate relationship between these variables (Tau_b = 0,638). Finally, it was considered that the need to, in the future, apply an action proposal oriented towards a management model for the integrated management of solid waste, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), according to Agenda 2030, and framed in the National Plan for Integrated Solid Waste Management 2016-2024 of the Peruvian Ministry of Environment (2016).
