Ações socioambientais desenvolvidas pelos setores no IFFAR campus São Borja-RS

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze issues that need to be rethought at the IFFar Campus São Borja in terms of socioenvironmental aspects. As specific objectives, it aimed to identify the use of natural resources on Campus; verify the environmental practices developed in and by the institution; and identify socio-environmental aspects that need to be rethought. It was an exploratory research, with a qualitative methodology developed through an action research. It was implemented at the Instituto Federal Farroupilha Campus São Borja in the sectors of the teaching area and administrative area. Questionnaires were applied through Google Forms, involving the following aspects: 1) survey of the consumption of natural resources; 2) main acquired and contracted goods; 3) completed works; 4) disposal practices adopted; 5) environmental practices already adopted, mainly with regard to waste disposal; and 6) capacity building needs. The data were tabulated in tables and analyzed qualitatively. Thus, we identified in relation to the use of natural resources that there was a reduction in the consumption of craft sheets, which may be related to the new habits learned during remote teaching. There are sectors that still do not carry out the correct disposal of waste and this demonstrates that managers need to manage these actions, since the lack of knowledge, added to the lack of specific dumps and information, makes environmental actions difficult. However, although the Institution develops socio-environmental actions, there is a need for training for the servers, as well as for the managers so that they can encourage the sectors and the academic community about these practices.
