ABSTRACT

Using a socioenvironmental perspective, this paper analyses strategies of water demand management (WDM) in Arequipa, Peru, and their perception by residents through a survey of six city districts (three in the core and three on the periphery) complemented with interviews with key stakeholders. The results show significant differences in WDM. Strategies to reduce demand through pricing are dominant. Domestic water-saving technologies are uncommon, and awareness campaigns are limited to periods of water stress. Despite differences in water access, improvements in water networks (leak repair, adequate water pressure and continuous supply) are the most demanded actions by residents.

摘要

本文从社会环境的角度分析了秘鲁阿雷基帕的用水需求管理 (WDM) 战略以及居民对其的看法，通过对六个城市区（三个核心区和三个外围区）的调查以及对主要利益相关者的访谈补充. 结果显示 WDM 存在显着差异。通过定价减少需求的策略占主导地位。国内节水技术并不常见，宣传活动仅限于缺水时期。尽管供水方式存在差异，但改善供水网络（泄漏修复、充足的水压和持续供水）是居民最需要采取的行动。
