Identificação de acúmulos de resíduo de demolição e construção no bairro Parque Brasil ll em Teresina - PI

Abstract

The construction sector, being labor-intensive, is expanding rapidly and contributes to the generation of jobs and income in Brazil. However, this sector generates a large amount of solid waste that must be managed properly. Based on this, this research had as its general objective to investigate the disposal of Construction Waste - RCC in public areas of the Parque Brasil 2 neighborhood, in Teresina - PI, thus evaluating whether it is carried out incorrectly and aiming to propose effective measures to mitigate the adverse impacts and promote sustainable management of this waste. A documentary research was carried out, semi-structured interviews with competent bodies on the subject and with the president of the neighborhood association, thus obtaining more information about the study site, as well as photographic records to highlight the environmental problems that the disposed waste is causing to the place and population. The mapping of the disposal sites was also carried out for a better analysis of the irregular disposal points. As a result, several inadequate disposal points for construction waste were identified, thus causing the proliferation of vectors, pollution of the landscape, obstruction of roads, damage to local vegetation, obstruction of the drainage system that can lead to flooding, among others. Problems were found regarding the lack of attention from the city government regarding these locations, in addition to the exchange of suitable locations for disposal from one neighborhood to another, promoting distance and difficulty in accessing these locations for people from the Parque Brasil II neighborhood. A lack of awareness among the population was observed regarding ways to reuse their own waste, which was proposed as a form of mitigation measures, such as: Environmental information programs. It is concluded that the competent body must move joint efforts, programs and informational content to the population in order to stop the problem.
