Coastal tourist landscapes face increasing urban pressures that affect their scenic and ecological value. This research analyzed the landscape of the Tortugas resort in Casma, Peru, through the year 2025 using three articulated approaches. First, visual fragility was assessed to identify areas vulnerable to human intervention or natural processes. Second, visual quality was measured using perceptual and physical indicators, considering both observers' perceptions and the tangible characteristics of the environment. Finally, the relationship between both variables was evaluated to understand how landscape vulnerability affects its visual appreciation. The methodology was quantitative, descriptive, and non-experimental, applying cartographic analysis, direct observation records, and surveys. The results showed an inverse relationship: areas with high visual fragility presented low levels of visual quality, reflecting a progressive loss of landscape value in the face of unplanned urban growth. It is concluded that it is essential to incorporate landscape criteria into land use planning to preserve the visual and environmental integrity of the resort and promote its long-term sustainability.

The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology is a scientific tool that allows for the improvement of production processes. The entire process was modeled using Sima Pro and primary data from the Peruvian textile company, with the functional unit being the production of 1 kg of finished fabric. The results identify the acquisition and use of cotton yarn as the main environmental determinant, responsible for approximately 73% of the global warming potential (14.35 kg CO2 eq/kg) and more than 70% of the impact on human toxicity and land use. The comparative analysis between conventional and organic cotton shows that the transition to organic raw materials reduces global warming by 29.6%, human carcinogenic toxicity by 37% and water consumption by more than 50%. However, organic cotton requires 7% more land and generates a 15% increase in freshwater eutrophication, highlighting environmental trade-offs linked to lower yields and higher demand for organic fertilizers. Simulation of a scenario with photovoltaic energy integration showed that an additional $32%$ reduction in greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved compared to the conventional system. Economically, the cost of spinning organic cotton is 21% higher, representing a challenge in terms of competitiveness.

Microbiological contamination in groundwater represents a risk to public health, especially in rural areas such as La Horca, Anexo Chucarapi, Islay. This study evaluated the efficacy of heterogeneous photocatalysis using titanium dioxide (TiO₂) as a catalyst to remove total and fecal coliforms in well water. A hybrid photocatalytic reactor was designed, and 400 ml samples were treated at temperatures between 21 °C and 23 °C, with exposure times from 30 to 120 min. Contamination was measured by most probable count (MPN/100 ml) of total and fecal coliforms, following DIGESA protocols. The results indicated a maximum reduction of 93.27% for total coliforms and 92.27% for fecal coliforms, reaching levels close to the regulatory limits for fecal coliforms. However, total coliforms did not always meet the established standards, showing the need for optimization. Increasing time and temperature showed positive effects on removal, confirming the progressive efficacy of the treatment. These findings are consistent with previous research on the ability of heterogeneous photocatalysis to improve microbiological water quality. It is recommended that full-scale pilot studies be implemented and that this technology be combined with other treatments to fully meet sanitary standards.

The study entitled Environmental Management Accounting and Sustainable Development in a company in the industrial-fishing sector had the general objective of determining the relationship between both categories in the fishing industry Microempresa Crudo y Cocido S.A.C., Chimbote - 2023. The present investigation was carried out with a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, cross-sectional transectional with a correlational level. The questionnaire was used as an instrument and the survey was used as a data collection technique. A sample population of 100 workers who provide their services in the various areas of the company was considered. The result was the existence of a high positive relationship between these study variables. Additionally, Spearman's Rho coefficient was 0.826. It is concluded that the better the environmental management accounting, the better the level of sustainable development.

This article studies the sustainable architectural design proposal of an Ecosystem Interpretation and Research Center in the Kurt Beer Ecological Park in Piura, Peru. The main objective is to re-evaluate the dry tropical locust forest ecosystem, promote ecological research and establish sustainable tourism in a context saturated by uncontrolled urban sprawl, the loss of biodiversity and insufficient infrastructure at park level. A descriptive and systematic procedure was used, reaching the theoretical foundations and cases of interpretation centres and urban parks. The project presents sustainable architecture, sensory museography and community participation as a basis for design. Argues that the introduction of such infrastructure will not only improve the conservation of Piura’s natural heritage, but also provide an example for urban upgrading and sustainable development in comparable urban environments.

The rapid increase in electrical and electronic equipment consumption has led to a significant rise in electronic waste (e-waste), posing environmental and logistical challenges. This systematic review identifies and analyzes the main methodologies employed in the reverse logistics of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), highlighting the most frequently applied approaches, associated technologies, and the materials most recovered. A total of 61 scientific articles published in the last five years were selected based on thematic relevance and methodological rigor, applying PICO and PRISMA strategies to ensure a transparent and structured review process. Results reveal that case studies, optimization models, and bibliometric analyses are the predominant methodologies. Copper and precious metals, such as gold, silver, and palladium are the most frequently recovered materials, followed by plastics and glass. Regional disparities were noted: while advanced recovery technologies are more prevalent in developed countries, Latin America continues to face structural limitations hindering their adoption. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current practices in WEEE reverse logistics and serves as a knowledge base for designing informed public policies and sustainable recycling strategies.

This study analyses the relationship between terms of trade (ToT) and the GDP of Peru’s mining sector over the 2000–2023 period. Given the country's structural dependence on mineral exports, the investigation explores how international price fluctuations affect the sector’s performance. Using a quantitative, non-experimental and ex post facto design, the analysis applies Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Results reveal a moderate positive correlation (ρ = 0.530; p = 0.008) between ToT and mining GDP, indicating that variations in international trade prices significantly influence the sector’s economic output. The findings also highlight cyclical dynamics in export and import price indices, and the sensitivity of mineral production and export values to external shocks, such as the 2008 global crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The study advocates for export diversification, risk mitigation strategies, and the adoption of artificial intelligence to forecast price volatility and enhance macroeconomic resilience.
