    Effects of urban sprawl on riparian vegetation : is compact or dispersed urbanization better for biodiversity?
    (Wiley, 2017) Guida-Johnson, Bárbara; Faggi, Ana; Zuleta, G. A.
    Compact urbanization is the main strategy for sustainable urban development. However, it is yet unclear whether compact urban forms are ecologically more favourable than dispersed ones. In this paper, we studied the effects of urban sprawl on the riparian vegetation condition in one of the most degraded watersheds in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, Argentina. We conducted random sampling of the riparian vegetation at sites along streams in the basin and assessed urban indicators at the reach and sub-watershed scales for each of those sites in a geographic information system: urban area, impervious surface, population density and two landscape metrics of dispersion. The indicators assessed explained a high proportion of the variability of the vegetation response variables, thereby confirming the importance of urban sprawl pressure in shaping riparian communities in fluvial ecosystems. Dispersed urbanization had more positive than negative effects on the vegetation in the study area. Riverbanks associated with dispersed urbanization had more plant species, including exotics, when urban sprawl was assessed at the local scale. At the sub-watershed scale, dispersed urbanized areas were richer in native plants and most of the functional groups, and poorer in exotic species. The model of the compact city, including bio-corridors along watercourses, has been proposed for the Buenos Aires conurbation process for the next decades. Our results showed that the quality of existing river corridors across the compact matrix was not desirable and best practices for redesigning a more sustainable landscape structure are necessary, including the restoration of habitats for wetland species.

    La importancia de las acciones de educación ambiental dentro del cumplimiento de informe a Pacto Global en UFLO
    (Consejo Federal de Decanas y Decanos de Ingeniería República Argentina, Argentina, 2022) Arias, Natalia Soledad; Romero, Ana; Faggi, Ana
    Por medio de índices de diversidad, similitud y desempeño, se analiza comparativamente el grado de contribución a Pacto Global de la Facultad de Ingeniería (FI) y del resto de la Universidad de Flores (UFLO R) bajo el análisis del cumplimiento de los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Agenda 2030. Las acciones que atañen a Educación, Investigación y Gobernanza fueron tomadas del reporte de sustentabilidad del período 2020-2021. FI realizó 68 acciones y el resto de la Universidad 398. De estos conjuntos de acciones reportadas, se analiza cuáles de ellas conciernen a la educación ambiental.
