Um novo olhar sobre as ações de educação ambiental em pontos críticos de controle de resíduos sólidos em comunidades do Recife - Pernambuco

Abstract

This research entitled Um Novo Olhar Sobre as Ações de Educação Ambiental em Pontos Críticos de Controle de Resíduos Sólidos em Comunidades do Recife/Pernambuco, aimed to smooth out the impacts of environmental education actions on critical points of solid waste control in communities of Recife/Pernambuco, for the construction of a new look at the geographic space. This is a case study that used techniques relevant to this approach, such as Theoretical construction based on the line of argumentation and reflection of several authors on the environmental theme, solid waste, environmental education, environmental communication, urban afforestation, and urban art of graphite; Study of public policies on solid waste management and Brazilian legislation; Study of environmental education projects that were part of this research and elaboration of an educational proposal on urban afforestation. The experiences experienced in the projects that were part of this research were described in Diário de Campo and systematized in tables to facilitate the analysis. The photographic records also served as a complement of data in the various phases of execution of the projects to compare the situations before and after the interventions. From the systematized and analyzed data, we found: that there are mitigating actions of management, control of the collection of household waste, and selective collection, but these have been inefficient to meet the needs of urban geography and its deficit structures, to the impacts found; We found successful initiatives of environmental education, related to urban afforestation and the art of graphite, as mitigating environmental impacts, however, these initiatives need a greater amplitude to be better effective. In the projects studied we could also verify the potential cities that instructional materials can have in the communication process, such as the educational pamphlet and graffiti with an environmental theme. The potential of these resources was expanded by the partnerships established between institutions, schools, and communities. We have seen that afforestation can be a mitigating measure of impacts on communities, supporting environmental impacts; the partnership established between various public and private entities and organized society has contributed to the success of the projects and it is possible to build successful projects according to the literature on environmental education prescribes
