Summary

A social and environmental intervention model, tested through surveys in two neighborhoods of Xochimilco between 2007 and 2008, revealed limited effectiveness in addressing pollution from garbage and sewage in the canals. The study found that despite efforts like the 'No More Garbage' program, contamination persisted due to irregular settlements in the chinampa zone. The research proposes an alternative approach centered on environmental education, emphasizing the link between socio-environmental problems and quality of life. This strategy aims to engage communities more effectively by framing pollution as a threat to their well-being, potentially leading to more sustainable solutions.
