Territorial governance and social participation for the remediation of contaminated soils

Abstract

Territorial governance evaluates the management and government of public policies from a perspective of social participation for the dynamics of territorial cohesion of contaminated soils for their initiation, implementation, and evaluation, which is why, when applying governance, it monitors the impact of socio-environmental conflicts generated by soil contamination, since each area and region is different and, therefore, different management alternatives and guidelines must be applied for the remediation of areas affected by contaminants, such as oil spills, pesticides, and heavy metals. On the other hand, residents must be considered and involved in carrying out the biorecovery and stabilization of contaminated soils.
