Gestão de resíduos sólidos no Brasil: um estudo bibliométrico (2008-2018)

Abstract

Law 12.305/10 regulates the National Policy for Solid Waste in Brazil due to the concern for the preservation of natural resources and to public health when it is associated with Solid Waste. This law places the Municipal Plan for Integrated Management of Solid Waste as a tool of the Public Administration for Solid Waste Management and also as condition for accessing government resources intended for enterprises and services related to urban cleaning and waste management. Therefore, this work presents a bibliometric study on Solid Waste Management in Brazil. It aims to demonstrate the frequency of dissemination of studies about the matter in the country, the states with the highest number of articles published and the higher education institutions that publish the most. As a method, a collection of publications related to the topic was carried out in the Scielo database, from 2008 to 2018. To conclude, there is a predominance of the institutions of São Paulo, especially from the University of São Paulo (USP), as the major researchers on this subject in Brazil, based on the given database.
