Abstract

This titling project aims to achieve results on the relationship between the perception of environmental issues and the religious beliefs of the inhabitants of the Metropolitan District of Quito as the capital city of the country and as a reference of the changes that can be evidenced since its declaration as capital, changes that have directly impacted the environment. The gathering of information was carried out through surveys carried out on groups of people belonging to religious affiliations such as: Catholic Christians, Evangelical Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Atheists and others. The research work presented is not an explanatory study, since it does not seek to find the causes that cause the relationship or not between the proposed variables such as the perception of environmental issues and religious beliefs, it is not intended to explain the reasons that lead to this relationship. The information collected is a reflection of existing studies both nationally and internationally, as well as the management of certain concepts that have been faithfully captured from what was expressed by the authors. In the final part, the main conclusions of the collection of information and of the perception of each of the religious groups are captured, who mostly consider that if there are changes in the environment, that religion influences the beliefs that have people about environmental problems and consider it very important that the vision of environmental problems is a reflection of their religious beliefs.
