Perspectivas dos gestores ambientais dos municípios consorciados ao CIGRES no processo implantação da coleta seletiva

Abstract

There are still insufficient Brazilian municipalities that take actions in favor of an adequate management of solid urban waste, resulting in public administrations lacking a greater concern with the environmental impacts and the quality of life of the population itself. Several factors contribute to the fact that the environmental education work in many cases are absent or not very effective, starting from this assumption and to better understand in order to propose mitigating measures in the process of implantation of the selective collection, a qualitative research was carried out with 23 questions directed to the managers environmental aspects of the municipalities of the northwest region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul-RS, participant of the CIGRES consortium (Intermunicipal Consortium for Solid Waste Management). The purpose of this study was to analyze the Selective Collection Program, identifying environmental education methods, weaknesses and potentialities in the system implementation method, aiming at the analysis, discussion and proposal of tools in order to present solutions and / or mitigation of the difficulties found. In view of the results of the survey, it was found that many municipalities are still behind in this implementation process, and the vast majority have encountered numerous challenges and difficulties, ranging from the lack of support from the administration to the lack of collaboration of the population. It was noted that the system of implantation of selective collection is a difficult, long-lasting process that must be intense and uninterrupted, it requires a change of habits and actions of all the actors involved, integrating the activities of information, sensitization and mobilization of all involved. After the quantification and analysis of the data, a lecture was held with all the environmental managers of the municipalities consorted with CIGRES, which was presented and discussed the results of the research, and shared tips to facilitate the implementation process of the municipal selective collection that the environmental managers themselves presented in one of the answers.
