Diagnóstico de descarte irregular de materiais de pós-consumo e suas implicações socioambientais em situações de alagamentos na cidade de Belém-PA: um estudo de caso do bairro do Guamá

Abstract

This research is the result of an effort to understand the dynamics of irregular disposal of waste and post-consumer materials related to the occurrence of floods, flooding and flooding in the Guamá neighborhood in Belém-PA. In addition to demonstrating how this irregular disposal occurs, the aim is to demonstrate that human actions combined with other factors can favor or enhance the formation of an environment conducive to the occurrence of extreme events. It is also intended to propose alternative structural and non-structural solutions with the aim of reducing negative impacts on the socioeconomically vulnerable population. Therefore, this work is being developed from the perspective of exploratory and qualitative research, delimited by a bibliographical procedure study, which aims to search for relevant publications to understand and analyze the research problem and which served as inspiration for the various stages of development. this one. We chose the case study, as it provides the investigation of a succession of events that occur in a peculiar way with this object of study.In this work, there was no intervention on the environment under study, restricting itself only to the observation of urban and environmental characteristics. Although the research is ongoing, it is already possible to verify that the precariousness of the material collection service, the culture of disposal permeated in the population in general and the degrading conditions of the drainage system, in this specific case, speaking of the situations of manholes, can be understood as factors that contribute to the incidence of floods, flooding and flooding in the neighborhood.
