application of ABATE
Explanation:
This may be totally off-base, but it's possible that the word "abatizacion" has sprung from the use of the larvicide ABATE, which is a trade name. I tripped over the words abatization and abate in the same document, which led to finding the ABATE chemical. It seems to be used in areas to prevent mosquito infestations.

Whoa! Found the word "abatidero" and it means "drain trench".
The context is a list of factors affecting a home. In that case "abatizacón" may mean "drain trenching" and the whole phrase would read;
The variables, presence of plastics, drainages, previous trenching. number of persons, area of the construction and builing materials, were not significant.

These are the variables of a study that were found to be non significant.

There should have been a "," between variables and presence.
