Abstract

Environmental issues are not presented in isolation, but as an interaction of social relationships and citizenship experienced by the population of their own living conditions. Given this, the research problem of this thesis was to investigate demographic, socioeconomic and housing in some neighborhoods of São Sepe, interrelating the knowledge of environmental issues by the people who live closest to the village dump and through this analysis identify some points to be worked in environmental education for health staff and/or welfare of the municipality. For data collection questionnaire was used as instruments. The data collected were standardized, coded and entered in Excel and built tables and graphs. For openended questions were used spreadsheets. It was observed that although there is much to be held in São Sepe for environmental education, the first steps are being taken .. The study sample covered by the PACS, and thus the lower-income, low or medium level of schooling, has been evolving slowly in the construction of citizenship, is in separating waste or environmental perception by changing attitudes, such as observed by students of the school near the landfill that have environmental perception and aware of the importance of their actions in the construction of this change of habits. It is hoped that these data contribute to the construction and evolution of citizenship and what new actions are related to this issue so important to the preservation of our planet.
