Saneamento básico e índice de desenvolvimento humano municipal nos municipios do sudoeste do Paraná

Abstract

Human rights have been discussed at conferences and studied by researchers, as social inequality is present in several countries of the world, as in Brazil, depriving people of access to rights such as health, work, education, income, housing and basic sanitation. One of the fundamental rights for the population that maintains the health and social welfare is the basic sanitation, that in the country, is defined by the treatment and water supply, treatment of sanitary sewers, cleaning of public places and streets and management of solid urban and management of rainwater. Human development is assessed by the Human Development Index (HDI) in which it is calculated through education, health and income. The present study aimed to evaluate the existence of a relationship between basic sanitation and the human development index in municipalities in the Southwest of Paraná. The data obtained from the National System of Information on Sanitation (NSIS) of water treatment and sanitary sewage and collection of urban solid waste with the date of Municipal Human Development Index (MHDI), acquired in the database of the Atlas of Human Development in Brazil, were correlated. The data were related to the Pearson correlation test to the level of 5% of significance and also the Agglomerative Cluster analysis was performed to group the municipalities by the similarity in the sanitation. Significant correlations were identified between the parameters of basic sanitation and HDI and the sanitation indicators that led the municipalities to be grouped by similarity, making it easier to visualize which factors can the human development of the region.
