Description
Summary:The construction of road infrastructure produces impacts and/or variations in the environment. Given the growing road infrastructure in the Colombian Caribbean region, there are threats to the balance of the systems that make it up, so that the ecosystem services present modifications in their natural conditions. In spite of the various administrative tools available in Colombian legislation to identify and mitigate the impacts caused to ecosystems by the projects being executed, the current general panorama shows that the scope of compensation measures is limited for interconnected regional ecosystems. This document presents an analysis study of eight cases of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) of road projects in the region, thus, it evaluates with established criteria which are the effects that have the greatest impact on a macro scale that is not currently evaluated by the available management tools. For this purpose, a review of the contributions of scientific and institutional literature was carried out in order to identify the environmental problems that are generated on a large scale with the interconnection of roads in the Colombian Caribbean, and that today there is no clarity of these effects at this scale of study. This document presents recommendations from an integrated analysis perspective for future projects to understand the alteration of the landscape and water systems at a regional scale.
