Cartografia geoambiental aplicada a la gestion de residuos del Espacio Natural Protegido «Las Batuecas – Sierra de Francia». (Salamanca-España)

Abstract

The human activity generate waste that finally go to controllable and uncontrollable landfill. In this case, the emplacement of uncontrollable landfill is analized with parameters of environmental geology, using thematics maps: lithological units, hidrogeologycal and hidrology units, geomorphological domains, geotechnical units and climatic units. This thematic carthography is cross with GIS for establish the geology favourable area and determine the environment capacity. Equally to be analized the economic and technical capability based in the waste measure and the position of urban nucleus with the emplacement of the gravity center for the position of controllable landfill. Finally are contrasted the results between the environmental geology parameters of the territorial planning and the position of gravity center and the possible capacity of the uncontrollable landfill applied to the study zone with favourable area. In this case, the gravity center is located on unfavourable area according to five thematics maps. This technique permit establish a favourable area in the SE of La Alberca, with the recommendation of realized specific studies to avoid altered and faulted areas. If this study is negative the position of controllable landfill will be to the north of La Alberca in favourable area or with artificial geologic barrier
