    Los efectos del saneamiento básico en el desarrollo local de las comunidades : un metaanálisis para comprender las realidades de nuestro país y territorios
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Banguero Moreno, Carlos Alberto; Cantet, María Natalia
    Is there a correlation between basic sanitation and community development? A general perception is that basic sanitation is related to community development; However, there is still insufficient quantitative information to support this hypothesis and to allow considerations of the true effects of sanitation on the development of communities, so the objective of the work is to determine if there is a direct relationship between basic sanitation and community development, through a quantitative review – meta-analysis at the global level. R² determination coefficients were collected along with scale moderators, population, zone type and control type. After the review of 3003 articles, about 63 data were obtained from 15 sources. Most of them are scientific articles, with the theme occupational environmental public health and the United States being the country with the most publications. Statistical analyses determined that basic sanitation and community development are positively correlated in the world's population centers, indicating that advances or setbacks in sanitation processes such as drinking water, sewerage influence the development of communities. The great variability between studies is mainly explained by the scale (local, regional and local) which means that the level of connection between these two variables may be stronger or weaker if the evaluation changes the spatial scale. On the other hand, to materialize the positive impacts of sanitation in the municipality of Apartadó, a strategy must be generated that allows the updating of the municipal structure that responds to the new dynamics of development. In general, we can affirm that sanitation has a fundamental impact on development, since it generates an impact on environmental, economic and social aspects, and is a political challenge since it depends on the decisions and public policies that are designed in local, regional and national governments and administrations.
