LA LECHE RIVER FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTLAMBAYEQUE, PERU
TASK 5: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
PART 2C: SECTION 4.3

Dr. Victor M. Ponce
Environmental Consultant
4.3 Human resources setting
The human resources setting includes demography, economy and development, land use, infrastructure,
housing, schools, health care, transportation,
fishing, recreation, public services, and archaeological and historical resources.
The area of influence is the La Leche river valley, particularly its lower reach, where there is high
concentration of social and economic activity.
4.3.1 Demography
The study area is located in the department of Lambayeque, within
the provinces of Ferreñafe and Lambayeque (Fig. 46).
The population of the department of Lambayeque, by provinces, is shown in Table 8.
The total population of Lambayeque (1,112,868) represents 4.1% of the population of Peru. The province of Chiclayo concentrates 68.1% of the
population of the department of Lambayeque. The current (2007) rate of population growth is 1.4%.

The location of the towns, relative to the La Leche valley, is shown in Fig. 47.
The entrance to Íllimo is shown in Fig. 48.
The population by districts is shown in Table 9.
The urban rural and urban population, by districts, is shown in Table 10.
The rural population is 62.3% of the total. The district of Pítipo has 39.6% of the population.
The population growth projection in the area of influence is shown in Table 11. The area of Pítipo has the highest growth rate (3.6%).

4.3.2 Economy and development
An indicator of the level of poverty is the Unsatisfied Basic Necessities (UBN) [Necesidades Básicas Insatisfechas, NBI].
This indicador reflects the shortage of a basic necessity, such as substandard housing, overcrowding, lack of sewage, or lack of schooling for children.
Table 12 shows the UBN percentage of the population, by provinces and districts, including Chiclayo and Lambayeque,
for comparison purposes. The district of Pítipo
is shown to have the highest value of UBN (60.9%) in the area of influence, and Jayanca the lowest (45.2%).
The lowest UBN values correspond to the predominantly urban districts of Chiclayo and Lambayeque.
Table 13 shows the population listed by type of unsatisfied basin necessity in the area of influence. Pítipo shows the highest percentage with
lack of sewage (37.4%).

Table 14 shows the inmigration and emigration in the department of Lambayeque for the year 2007.
Inmigration to Lambayeque originates in the neighboring department of Cajamarca, from the provinces of Chota and Cutervo.
The existence of a good road between Cajamarca and Chiclayo encourages the movement of people, and of goods and services.

Table 15 shows the migratory trends from selected departments to northern Peruvian cities. For instance, 28.0% of the migrants to the city of Chiclayo
originated in the department of Cajamarca, while 6.0% of the migrants to the city of Cajamarca originated in the department of Lambayeque.
Table 16 shows the density of roads in the area of influence. All five districts are shown to have low road density.

4.3.3 Land use
Agriculture is the predominant economic activity in the area of influence. Table 18 shows that
the province of Lambayeque (the largest of all three provinces) has the most
farmers and the largest farmed surface area.
The districts of Íllimo, Jayanca, Pacora, and Túcume are located within the province of Lambayeque.
Thus, agriculture is the most important economic activity in the area of influence.
Table 19 shows the number of farmers and farmed surface area in the area of influence. Túcume has the most farmers,
while Pítipo has the largest surface area under cultivation.
Table 20 shows the type of ownership of farmland. Pitipo has two large farmer communities
[comunidades campesinas], while
Íllimo has the largest number of small individual landowners.
