LANDIVAR, Javier y SANCHEZ GALVEZ, Samuel. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT: REDUCING RESPONSE OF CARBON TRACE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF GUAYAQUIL. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2017, vol.9, n.1, pp.154-160. ISSN 2218-3620.
The University of Guayaquil is the Ecuador's largest institution of higher education (IES for its acronym in Spanish), with an enrollment that has exceeded seventy thousand students, about three thousand teachers working on it and at least two thousand administrative and service staff. In correspondence with such numbers and as required by the activity of an institution of its kind, any decision made by the University of Guayaquil will result in a greater environmental impact than any other university in the country. The main objective of the research is to determine the carbon trace produced by one of the faculties, which exceeds 37 tons of carbon dioxide (t CO2) per year. The data were obtained from the number of printing, photocopying and documents generated per year. Such production is only a part of the generated by the university. The analysis of the data obtained requires the search and use of knowledge management techniques within the HEI. The study allows the researchers of the subject to confirm that much of the carbon trace, generated by the faculty can be reduced with the efficient use of these techniques
