Avaliação de impactos ambientais na destinação de resíduos sólidos urbanos, no âmbito socioeconômico.

Abstract

Presentation of the Socio-Environmental Assessment in view of the Engineering Projects and Environmental Studies for Urban Solid Waste Infrastructure Works and Services - RSU in the regional management unit – UGR of Paulo Afonso (Paulo Afonso, Glória and Santa Brígida). The main focus is the readjustment of the open dumps in these municipalities. Recycling activities reduce environmental impacts brought about by the disposal of polluting and slow-decomposing material. In view of this, the organized civil society, whether in cooperatives or not, guarantees a minimum income from the collection and sale of recyclable materials, raising issues ranging from social vulnerability to the vital minimum for survival. This work, in addition to explaining the profile of these workers, raises recommendations in synergy with the organized civil society and public authorities, considering the execution of planned actions with local specificities in mitigating environmental impacts and recovering the degraded area. Therefore, this compilation of data and recommendations will contribute to the recovery of degraded environments and preventive actions against impacts on the environment, improving the quality of life of individuals involved in a historical process of invisibility, social vulnerability and optimization in environmental management of landfills.
