Abstract

It is not possible to talk about life quality of a people without access to basic sanitation in a comprehensive manner, since the lack of it will reflect negatively on issues related to Public Health. In this sense, the proposed work aimed to know the basic sanitation activities of the district Nossa Senhora das Graças in the municipality of Teresina-PI, besides characterizing and correlate it with the most frequent diseases in that neighborhood. Methodologically, the work was done through observational research "in loco" aiming at identifying and characterizing basic sanitation activities. The resource used was questionnaire, having as sample 60 subjects randomly approached, questioning them about the sanitation service and the health of the population. Based on the information obtained with the application of the questionnaires, it should be disease, mainly related to the poor disposition of solid waste, which has accumulating objects of water, favoring the development of transmitting mosquitoes of diseases such as dengue, zyka and chikungunya. This situation associated with information revealed the need for quality sevices both in the domestic and public management fields. In addition, the neighborhood despite its central location presents characteristics that are similar to the others, with greater vulnerability in the basic sanitation system, which demonstrates the lack of concrete actions by the Public infrastructure and maintenance. It is therefore recommended that policies be public services aimed at basic sanitation, including monitoring and mechanisms for the systemic evaluation of the efficiency of the services provided. Moreover, it is necessary to study the perception of the in which they live and the relationship with the various aspects, especially sanitation basic knowledge, since it is from this knowledge that the need for implementation of actions with environmental education.
