Resumen:
In order to determine the environmental problems as perceived by the community of Luj(m (Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina), a survey was carried out. The relationship between environmental perception and socio-economic level was also studied. The most important problems reported by the community were the floods, which occur when the Lujdn river overflows its banks, and the contamination of this river as it flows through Lujdn city. Deficiencies in the tourist infrastructure were also considered to be serious. The least perceived problem was that of industrial air pollution. Positive correlations between environmental perception, socio-economic standing and levels of instruction were observed.
