Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Distribuição e qualidade dos serviços de abastecimento de água e esgotamento sanitário na área insular do município de Belém - PA: Ilha de Caratateua(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-08-31) FERREIRA, Carlos Augusto da Cruz; BORDALO, Carlos Alexandre Leão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1253955182585852This paper aims to discuss and analyze the conditions of service provision of water supply and sanitation on the island of Caratateua, isolated area of the city of Belém, Pará State, Brazil. It presents as an object of study to evaluation the distribution and quality of those services on that island. The study area corresponds to two neighborhoods at Caratateua island: Brasília e São João de Outeiro. The neighborhoods are adjacent, located in the western portion of the island and are part of it urban area. It boundaries were defined by the Prefeitura Municipal de Belém. Caratateua island is one of the most important islands that make up the Distrito Administrativo de Outeiro – DAOUT and became more intensely occupied after construction of the bridge Éneas Martins Pinheiro in 1986, which facilitated access, especially of the poor in the search space, particularly for housing. The island also has an intense population dynamics on weekends and school vacation, periods when the flow of people increases considerably, especially on the beaches. The time frame of the research has the year 1986 as the starting point of reference. The dynamic organization of space in the island in general, was not accompanied by public politics consistent with the process of population growth and dynamism displayed by the same, thereafter. As a result, neighborhoods Brasília and São João de Outeiro have a deficit in terms of infrastructure and equipment for collective use urban services including water supply and adequate sanitation in homes. The research was based on literature review on the topic of water in ranges global, national and regional, as well as the trajectory of health policies in Brazil and metropolitan scale. The analyzes derived from field surveys, with data collected from questionnaires to heads of families, recorded interviews and meetings in neighborhood associations, demonstrate the dissatisfaction of residents in relation to the care of sanitation services in question, especially since they need to seek alternative ways to meet their daily needs. The pursuit of these alternatives gives rise to forms of union between the locals and have let them to clarification of their rights as citizens and the power they have to claim them before the local government.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Insegurança hídrica: medidas adaptativas autônomas usadas pela população na cidade de Belém, Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-06-29) RODRIGUES, Tayná Cristiny Nunes Flexa; SZLAFSZTEIN, Cláudio Fabian; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1348005678649555; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2855-2056The Amazon region, where the capital of the state of Pará, Belém, is located, has a large availability of water resources and constant rainfall well distributed throughout the year. However, there are frequent occurrences of interruptions in the water supply. Part of the population has no access to water in their homes or the supply is irregular, despite the fact that Belém does not present meteorological or hydrological droughts. Because of the interruptions in the water supply, the population needs to seek autonomous adaptive measures, without help from the government or private institutions, to acquire water, since the aforementioned element is essential in daily life. The research aims to identify the autonomous adaptive measures adopted by the population of Belém to reduce the inconvenience associated with the lack of water, called water insecurity. Therefore, it was analyzed in online and television newspapers - in the period from 2014 to 2020 - the frequency in which neighborhoods were notified, the causes of the interruption, the consequences, as well as the decisions taken by residents to obtain water. From the journalistic data, the water insecurity index of Belém's neighborhoods was identified, dividing them into three categories: high, medium and low. The results obtained correspond both to the production of the water insecurity index map per neighborhood, as well as the information about the time, causes and consequences arising from the interruption in water supply, besides identifying the autonomous adaptive measures used by the population, such as: buying mineral water, collecting rainwater and using well water, generally considered as reactive measures, since they occur either at the time or after the lack of water. Thus, we highlight the need for improvements in the infrastructure of the water supply system, to obtain a regular and quality supply, because water is everyone's right and essential for the well-being of the population.
