1.  Introduction

At present, environmental problems are derived from the deterioration of natural resources; it is the environment that provides the human being with what is necessary for his development on the planet, therefore, it is the individual who should give him an adequate treatment, however, the projects that seek the development of a nation have a substantial impact on him. What causes that where there was a forest today there is asphalt and where before there was a pond today is present a garbage dump. Barros, (2013a), states that "This process will accelerate in the coming decades; if there is no change in the behavior of humanity, the consequences will be catastrophic during the XXII century" (p.5).

 

According to Barros, (2013b), "Climate change appears as an ethical problem, one of responsibility and solidarity towards future generations and the human species and even towards life in the rest of the planet" (p.13). To contribute to the conservation of the environment, it is necessary to make an effort so that each individual reaches a degree of awareness about what is necessary for the environment itself.

 

Fernández, (2014a), expresses that "the demographic explosion; Conscience, economic development has not always brought benefits to humanity, has triggered ecological alterations of serious consequence, the forecast of an uncertain future with enormous environmental problems, and depletion of natural resources" (p.31). Undoubtedly, the population growth brings with it some damage to nature, as well as the accumulation of waste in inappropriate places, deforestation, contaminated air, which additionally transcends the health of the communities.

 

Based on the above, this research had as a general purpose, strengthen environmental education through the planting of ornamental plants is developed to diagnose the needs of environmental training from the progress of an action plan of ornamentation and tree planting in Sector 3 of May. In Ciudad Bolivia, Pedraza Municipality, Barinas State.

 

2. The problem

        The environmental issue today is a concern for all humanity, pollution in the world has taken large dimensions, which has drawn the attention of the rulers of nations for the huge amounts of resources that must be invested in the collection and processing of waste of domestic origin and industrial origin.

 

        In this sense, Agenda 21, established at the World Summit held in Rio de Janeiro by the United Nations Organization on Environment and Development, was proposed as the main global plan to face economic and ecological problems of the 20th century. Sitarz, (1993), cited by Nebel and Wright, (2013), has defined Agenda 21, as "a document of hope for the solution to the environmental and economic problems of the world". From this point of view the States must be executing this proposal and that it is necessary to avoid so much contamination of the developed countries.

 

        One of the conclusions of Agenda 21 is the call to the different governments to prepare or update strategies aimed at achieving environmental and development integration in a way that increases the capacity of the populations to address environmental issues without causing them detriment, establishing , the orientation to the States to protect the environment as a non-renewable resource, which is vulnerable to the hand of the man who deteriorates it.

 

        Likewise, the Kyoto Protocol, carried out in Montreal in 1997, cited by Report 21 (2013), proposes the preservation of human life, as well as vegetation and animals, establishing reduction and control agreements on gas emissions. and pollutants that degrade the environment, these agreements are set by countries that emit greater pollutants and with this agreement they commit to reduce the degradation of the environment. As well as, regarding the substances that deplete the ozone layer, protection and improvement of sinks and deposits of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol, taking into account the commitments under the relevant international agreements about the environment; promotion of sustainable forestry management practices and reforestation.

 

        For Hitcher, (2013), "human beings are called to a radical change of consciousness, because with the defense of water resources, ecosystems, biodiversity and a sustainable development model the continuity of humanity is guaranteed" (p.55). Every time an assault on the environment occurs, Mother Earth is endangered. It is not about putting the individual as a predator, it has to do with the values ​​in society and the ways of life are becoming more ostentatious.

 

        Fernández, (2014b), states that "a greater awareness is needed to take care of each environmental space, the development model threatens to destroy our planet" (p.144). This statement describes how a model of policies used in marketing and industrialization has brought the debacle to various ecosystems, at the same time the erosion of participatory processes and the decision-making of peoples towards a coherent environmental education, for the conservation of natural resources.

 

        Likewise, the non-governmental organization called Red Voltaire, states that in Brazil, in the city of Curitiba (2006), the Manifesto of the Americas was held in defense of nature and of biological and cultural diversity, where one of its conclusions was the need "to move from a society of industrial production, consumerist and individualist, which harms the ecosystems to a society that achieves the support of all existence, which is guided by a socially just and ecologically sustainable way". (p.5).

 

        On the other hand, Sepúlveda (2013), asserts that "agriculture, natural resources and rural development, are productive and economic activities are related to the deterioration of natural resources, putting it in the center" (p.28). In addition, he affirms that development depends on the ability of community actors to manage economic resources in harmony with the potential of natural resources.

 

          For León (2013), "in Venezuela the existence of environmental problems is a reality" (p.4). This goes back to the environmental policies applied by the State that based its raison d'être, in the pursuit of economic development, without irredeemably caring for the spoliation of environmental factors and the degradation of ecosystems. Decreasing environmental principles and sacrifice of ecological values.

 

In Barinas, in parallel, environmental conditions have generated an opposite effect to the balance between the natural environment and the population advance; bringing as consequences, the decrease of flows in rivers and streams. In the same way the inhalation of polluting air, application of slash and burn, losses in some species of flora and fauna, deterioration of the green areas in the communities, important areas for the observation of these autochthonous species have disappeared.

 

In this sense Martínez (2013), points out "the need to explicitly contemplate the environment in educational processes" (p.5), the processes of environmental education provide new educational models and deepen in a reorientation of education imparted towards the conservation and preservation of natural resources. The role of education should be aimed at the solution of environmental problems, without leaving aside the participation of communities in the process, at the same time the interrelation between human beings in harmony with nature. That is why the incorporation of environmental education is a responsible attitude and committed to the environment.

 

If the population is not educated about the danger of continuing irresponsibly depressing natural resources and the environment, in a short time the human being will be lamenting more about the situations that affect living beings. On the other hand, a participation process that is aimed at communities essentially in the area of ​​environmental conservation focused on the decoration and maintenance of their communities is significant.

 

Also, Montaldo (2013), argues that "education performs the maintenance and transmission of culture, in order to achieve its continuity" (p.3). The promotion of environmental education has important implications and can lead to the development of a community, allowing new skills to arise and solving environmental problems.

 

The community where the research is carried out meets the favorable characteristics for the study, because in it there is abandonment of green areas, bad placement of solid waste in the backyards and fronts of the houses, dumping of wastewater from self-washed improvised in the houses, among others.

 

The problematic previously raised, allows to indicate that in this community there is a deficient environmental formation which affects the environmental quality of the same, besides causing effects on the health of the population, without noticing the inhabitants of the same, that such situation is mostly caused by low awareness and knowledge about environmental values. For this reason, it is necessary to create the mechanisms that allow to propose actions directed to the formation of the communities in environmental educational matter to improve the quality of their environment.

 

          In this sense, this research has the purpose of developing environmental activities with the participation of the community for the decoration and tree planting in Sector 3 de Mayo. Parish of Bolivia City, Pedraza Municipality, of the Barinas State. For the above, it is proposed to answer the following questions:

        What is the need to develop environmental activities with the participation of the community for its ornamentation and tree planting? Will it be possible to design an action plan for the decoration and arborization of the community? What activities can be developed for the decoration and tree planting? of the sector May 3?, What results would be obtained from the development of the action plan for the decoration and tree planting of the sector May 3?

 

3. Theoretical references

3.1. Constructivism

This research is oriented in the framework of the constructivist current, according to Chadwick (1999), "the essence of constructivism is the individual as its own construction that is produced as a result of the interaction of its internal dispositions and its environment" (p.464), and his knowledge is not a copy of reality, but a construction of the person himself, since it occurs through the learning processes that the student builds in structures, that is, the different ways of organizing the information, which will greatly facilitate future learning, because they are organized representations of previous experience, relatively permanent and serve as schemes that work to filter, codify, categorize and evaluate the information that the student receives in relation to some relevant experience.

 

3.2. Ornate

The term ornate in this study, refers to the maintenance and care of the existing biotic environment, ie the green areas and plant species in public spaces. For Zapata (2006), the decoration is defined as "embellishment of natural and architectural spaces with the purpose of interweaving these elements in order to obtain a balanced composition between the natural and the artificial" (page 1). Therefore, the green areas have been incorporated into the cities to return to the urban environment the natural spaces that have been lost.

 

3.3. Ornamental plants

          The plants represent an attraction in view of human beings which offers a pleasant environment, in this sense the arborization is important to recover natural spaces intervened by the action of man offering people living in urban centers enjoy nature. Ornamental plants are used to decorate populated spaces, according to Sánchez (2012);

It is classified into three large groups: nursery plants (group 1), always used outdoors in gardens, being cultivated normally in the middle of the earth; florist plants (group 2), used as a cut flower or green accompaniment in arrangements and floral compositions; and indoor plants (group 3), used mostly in interior decoration, being grown in pots and planters (p.10).

 

Although with different uses, all of them base their appeal on aesthetic qualities, such as color, texture, poise or shape. Ornamental plants can be considered as those plants or their parts that in their natural or preserved state can cover the function of visually satisfying the consumer's taste and in some cases presenting an attractiveness in their flowers, fruits or aromatic type. Also, Contreras (2015), Exhibits:

Conservation necessarily implies a knowledge of ecology, the science that concerns the relationships between life and environment, but ecology itself is based on a wide variety of disciplines, and conservation encompasses feelings, beliefs and attitudes that are sometimes complementary and others. diverging between science and technology (p.80).

 

Reason for which this research work orientates to the decoration in function of the conservation of the environment, offering to the subjects of investigation essential knowledge of ecology, which are important to improve the relationship between man and the environment, with respect to the community where the study is developed the new experience contributes with the best management of its green areas.

 

3.4. Environmental education

          Environmental education is fundamental for the education of citizens in order to build an ecological culture that improves the relationship of man with the environment, according to Urrea (2016), "It is a context in which an awareness is developed around the conditions of the environment and the way to define the impact of the human being and his society". (p.158). According to this definition, education must be oriented to the sensitization of human beings in the preservation of the planet.

 

4. Methodological framework

The study is framed within the parameters of the action research, since it is about solving a real concrete problem, without reaching the theoretical generalization, in order to improve the practice. Therefore, the problem that motivates this work is located within the participatory action research. The action research is carried out in several stages, namely: The design of a change proposal is made after the analysis and interpretation of the information collected and always in the light of the objectives that are pursued, it is possible to visualize the sense of the improvements that are desired. (Hurtado and Toro, 2005a, p.35).

 

The steps or phases of participatory action research, according to Hurtado y Toro (2005b), are:

Phase I: Problematization. Considering that educational work takes place in situations where practical problems arise. The logical thing is that a project of this type starts from a practical problem: in general, it is about inconsistencies or inconsistencies between what is pursued and what actually happens. It is possible to differentiate between: contradictions, when there is opposition between the formulation of the author's claims, on the one hand, and their actions on the other. Dilemmas, a special type of contradiction, can be presented as two irreconcilable trends that are discovered when analyzing the practice, but that reveal necessary values, or differences of interest or motivations between two or more parties. Difficulties or limitations, those situations in which they are before the opposition to develop the desirable actions of instances that can not be modified or influenced from the direct and immediate action, which would require a long-term action, as is the case of certain inertias institutional or forms of organization.

 

Phase II: Diagnosis: once the meaning of the problem that will be the center of the research process has been identified, and having formulated a statement of it, it is necessary to gather information that will allow a clear diagnosis of the situation. The search for information consists of collecting various evidences that allow a reflection based on a greater amount of data. This collection of information should express the point of view of the people involved, inform introspectively about the people involved, that is, how they live and understand the situation being investigated. In short, the reflexive analysis that leads to a correct formulation of the problem and the collection of information necessary for a good diagnosis, represents the path towards the coherent lines of action related to the problem of ornamentation and tree planting that occurs in the community May 3.

 

Phase III: Design of activities: once the analysis and interpretation of the collected information has been carried out and always in light of the purposes of the research being pursued, it is possible to visualize the meaning of the improvements that are desired. The reflection, which in this case becomes prospective, is what allows us to design a proposal for change and improvement, for the situation that occurs in the 3 de Mayo Community in relation to the decoration and arborization of the sector. In the same way, it is necessary at this moment to define an evaluation design of the same. That is, anticipate the indicators and goals that will account for the achievement of activities.

 

Phase IV: Application of the activities: once the action proposal is designed, it is carried out by the interested persons. It is important, however, to understand that any proposal that is reached after this analysis and reflection must be understood in a hypothetical sense, that is, a new way of acting is undertaken, an effort of innovation and improvement of the practice that it must be permanently submitted to conditions of analysis, evaluation and reflection.

 

Phase V: Evaluation: this whole process, which would begin another cycle in the spiral of action research, provides evidence of the scope and consequences of the actions undertaken, and its value as an improvement of the practice.

 

4.1. Design of the investigation

The study constitutes a qualitative study. The design of this research is field because the data is obtained directly from the reality, in this way the Community 3 de Mayo is studied in depth for the decoration and arborization of the same and thus strengthen environmental education. In this regard, Bavaresco (2013) states that field design: "consists in the characterization of a fact, phenomenon or group in order to establish its structure or behavior" (p.48).

 

4.2.  Scenario and key informants

The investigation was carried out in the 3 de Mayo Community, located in Ciudad Bolivia, capital of the Pedraza municipality of the Barinas state, it belongs to the urban area of the population. The social actors content in this study refer to the population, from which the key informants for the respective study are extracted. Which are represented in three inhabitants of the sector May 3 that with the characteristic of being active members of the Community Council of the town: (1) one belonging to the education committee, (1) one that is part of the committee of urban land and rural and (1) one member of the health committee. The testimonies of these people are fundamental to achieve the purposes of the investigation.

 

4.3. Techniques and instruments for gathering information

          The collection technique used for this research is the interview. For Hurtado y Toro (2005c), "collecting data is intentionally and systematically reducing by means of the use of the senses or a mediating instrument the natural and complex reality to be studied" (p.142).

 

          It is important to note that the interview is an appropriate technique for qualitative research in such a way that it is specified in an instrument by which a person invites, face to face to another to provide information, this can be based on a conversation free until a structured interrogation. Tamayo and Tamayo (2013a, p.101) define it as "repeated face-to-face meetings between the researcher and the informants, meetings aimed at understanding the perspectives that the informants have of their experiences or situations as they express them with their own words".

 

          In this same order of ideas, it is necessary to carry out the interviews for the collection of the information, taking into consideration a beginning, a development and a closure. It is important to point out that, with the application of this technique, the necessary information is obtained from key informants. Likewise, the observation technique is used to contrast the answers of the interview made to the members of the Communal Council of May 3, the instrument that accompanies the observation technique is called written record, in which the control of the testimonies given by the units of analysis.

 

4.4. Validation

          The validity and reliability of a research instrument is extremely important because it will yield real data that can be generated in the development of theories, therefore, within this research the validity is focused on what defines Tamayo and Tamayo (2013b ), "Effectiveness with which an instrument measures what is intended" (p.193). In such a way that it is based on the judgment of experts where the instrument is subject to the review of professionals specializing in Environmental Education and Research Methodology, who determine if the instrument in question presents the conditions of validity of content.

 

          For reliability, the elements are based on an action of participatory and interactive type where the researcher will apply the instrument to people from another community that have the same characteristics of the context being studied, to later elaborate the analysis with the interviewees themselves and thus verify the relevance of the aspects present in the script of the interview and so the interview can be applied in the form of an essay to five members of another community that presents the same characteristics of the community under study.

 

          With the application of the interview and the observations made by the researcher to the key informants, they have a definition of the ornamental plants, but they do not personally mean anything to them, since they do not give importance to it. as for having a garden in front of their houses; neither does the community have green areas, however, there are desolate spaces that could be planted.

 

          Regarding the maintenance that they could perform the green areas existing in the community, the diagnosis showed that a single key informant is responsible for keeping at least the yard of your house clean, performing maintenance actions to the same, another does not directly, but he executes actions for others to carry out clean-up days in vacant lots, but there is one that does not perform any action. That is why the sector May 3 presents problems of accumulation that reduces aesthetics on the ornate and arborization of the community.

 

          Likewise, the members of the communal council do not promote beautification activities for the sector, days of environmental awareness, decoration, tree planting and embellishment, creating gardens with native, medicinal ornamental plants that favor the beautification of the community. There is a shortage of training in relation to the theme of decoration and maintenance of green areas, by members of the Communal Council.

 

4.5.  Analysis of the information

          The collection of information is carried out through interviews conducted with the subjects under study, indicating the need for their answers to be true, as well as the daily record of the observations made to them, with the purpose of investigating the knowledge they possess in relation to green areas, maintenance and plants. To then carry out the process of organization and categorization of information, and finally interpret and discuss the results, for the preparation of the final reflection.

 

          With the application of the interview and the observations made by the researcher to the key informants, they have a definition of the ornamental plants, but they do not personally mean anything to them, since they do not give importance to it. as for having a garden in front of their houses; neither does the community have green areas, however, there are desolate spaces that could be planted.

 

          Regarding the maintenance that they could perform the green areas existing in the community, the diagnosis showed that a single key informant is responsible for keeping at least the yard of your house clean, performing maintenance actions to the same, another does not directly, but he executes actions for others to carry out clean-up days in vacant lots, but there is one that does not perform any action. That is why the sector May 3 presents problems of accumulation that reduces aesthetics on the ornate and arborization of the community.

 

          Likewise, the members of the communal council do not promote beautification activities for the sector, days of environmental awareness, decoration, tree planting and embellishment, creating gardens with native, medicinal ornamental plants that favor the beautification of the community. There is a shortage of training in relation to the decoration and maintenance of green areas, by the members of the Communal Council.

 

          In addition to this, there is no participation and integration activities with the community in this sector to generate actions that favor the environment, perhaps that is why the community in environmental matters is serious. In such a way that this diagnosis generates as a possible solution the need to develop ornamental and tree planting activities for the strengthening of environmental education.

 

5. Conclusions

          This investigation showed that there is a need for the design of environmental activities for the strengthening of Environmental Education in Sector 3 de Mayo. In Ciudad Bolivia, Pedraza Municipality, Barinas State, because the members of the communal council have a definition of ornamental plants, but for them they have no meaning, since they do not give importance to it in terms of having a garden in front from their house; In the same way in the community there are no green areas, looking desolate, without any environmental wealth.

 

          Therefore, the members of the communal council do not promote beautification activities for the sector, days of environmental awareness, decoration, tree planting and embellishment, creating gardens with native, medicinal, ornamental plants, which favor the beautification of the community, because there is a shortage of training in relation to the theme of decoration and maintenance of green areas, by the members of the Community Council and therefore in the community in general.

 

          A series of talks and meetings were held to promote the integration, participation and planning of actions for the realization of days of decoration and embellishment of the sector, with the participation of the members of the communal council and the neighbors of the sector, where they looked for solutions successful in the face of the existing problem.

 

          Finally, a follow-up of the activities was carried out in order to review the actions and guide them, for the benefit of the days of tree planting and decoration in the strengthening of environmental education and the improvement of the quality of life of the inhabitants of community.
