description The brick kiln industry in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, has been rapidly expanding with urban growth since 1960. There are currently 312 brick kilns distributed around the urban area of the city, which represent an environmental problem due to their negative effects. The objective of this study was to determine the best places in the Municipality of Juárez to relocate the brick kiln industry in order to minimize environmental risk. Multicriteria Analysis (MCA) based on digital cartography and a Geographical mation System (GIS) were used. The factors selected for analysis included biophysical, social and economic aspects. In order to estimate the effects of brick kiln operation, a nine-level estimated risk scale was defined using hierarchical multicriteria analysis and the modified Delphi technique. The weighted factors were mapped in the GIS using the Spatial Analysis® extension. By superposing the maps, polygons showing the degree of population and ecosystem vulnerability were obtained. In general, the urban zone, the eastern slope of the Sierra Juárez, the dunes and the agricultural region in the Valle de Juárez near the city were found to be the most vulnerable zones for locating the brick kiln industry. Currently, 90.3 % of kilns are located in areas of medium to high vulnerability. Using the data obtained in this study, brick kilns in Ciudad Juárez can be relocated on the basis of reliable technical criteria, although the process will also have to comply with the respective regulations.

Los 312 hornos ladrilleros distribuidos en distintos sectores dentro del área urbana representan un problema ambiental. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar áreas geográficas idóneas en el Municipio de Juárez para la reubicación de la industria ladrillera, a fin de minimizar el riesgo ambiental. Se utilizó la técnica de análisis multicriterio (AMC) con base cartográfica digital en un sistema de información geográfica (SIG). Los factores seleccionados para el análisis incluyen aspectos biofísicos, sociales y económicos. Para determinar el efecto de la operación de los hornos se definió una escala estimativa de riesgo de nueve dígitos mediante un análisis jerárquico multicriterio y la técnica Delphi modificada. Los factores ponderados se cartografiaron en el SIG con la extensión Spatial Analysis®. De la superposición de los mapas se obtuvieron polígonos con diferentes grados de vulnerabilidad hacia la población y el ecosistema. En general, la zona urbana, la ladera Este de la Sierra Juárez, la zona de dunas y la región agrícola del Valle de Juárez cercana a la ciudad, resultaron ser áreas de alta vulnerabilidad para la operación de la industria ladrillera. 90.3% de los hornos existentes están localizados en áreas de mediana a alta vulnerabilidad. Con los datos obtenidos en este estudio, la reubicación de las ladrilleras puede ser llevada a cabo bajo criterios técnicos sólidos, siempre y cuando vaya acompañada de una legislación pertinente al respecto.Instituto de Ciencias de la Atmósfera, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México2010-08-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionARTapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistascca.unam.mx/rica/index.php/rica/article/view/20442Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental; Vol. 26 Núm. 1 (2010); 17-26Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental; Vol. 26 No. 1 (2010); 17-260188-4999reponame:Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambientalinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://www.revistascca.unam.mx/rica/index.php/rica/article/view/20442/19381Derechos de autor 2017 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambientalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/204422024-08-16T19:00:27Z
