Abstract
La explotación no regulada del carbón en el norte del Perú se ha convertido en un problema de gran magnitud, caracterizado por la aparición de grupos humanos criminales que se hacen pasar como mineros artesanales. Por ello, la presente investigación se centra en analizar cómo la explotación informal del carbón de piedra contribuye al desarrollo de una percepción antropocéntrica en el ecosistema de Charat-Otuzco. Para abordar esta cuestión de manera integral, se adopta un enfoque mixto con un diseño DEXPLOS. La muestra seleccionada incluyó a 40 individuos del distrito de Charat, a quienes se aplicaron técnicas de observación, cuestionario y entrevista. Los hallazgos indican de manera concluyente que la explotación informal intensifica la visión antropocéntrica, resultando en daños notables no solo para el ecosistema local, sino también para la estructura social circundante. Además, se observa una carencia de progreso en las áreas adyacentes donde se comercializa el mineral, evidenciándose sobre todo en la falta de infraestructuras adecuadas, a pesar de la considerable sumas de dinero que se adquieren en cada operación ilícita por parte de los mineros informales.
ABSTRACT Unregulated coal mining in northern Peru has become a major problem, characterized by the emergence of criminal human groups posing as artisanal miners. Therefore, this research focuses on analyzing how informal coal mining contributes to the development of an anthropocentric perception in the Charat-Otuzco ecosystem. To address this issue in a comprehensive manner, a mixed approach with a DEXPLOS design is adopted. The sample included 40 individuals from the district of Charat, to whom observation techniques, questionnaire and interview were applied. Conclusive findings indicate that informal exploitation intensifies anthropocentric vision, resulting in significant damage not only to the local ecosystem, but also to the surrounding social structure. In addition, there is a lack of progress in the adjacent areas where the ore is sold, evidenced above all in the lack of adequate infrastructure, despite the considerable sums of money that are acquired in each illegal operation by informal miners.
