Desenvolvimento de um aplicativo Android para a conscientização do descarte de lixo eletrônico

Abstract

Currently, many people spend too much time connected to computers, tablets, mobile phones or even in front of their televisions, and homes are filled with modern appliances that perform activities that facilitate people's lives. But machines are suffering physical damage, become obsolete and are discarded, and most often replaced with other more advanced technologies. The problem is: how and where these machines are discarded? The objective of this work is the development of an application for Android for use in awareness of e-waste disposal. For this, the following activities were done: research on e-waste in the literature to create a blog on the main issues; search for local collection and disposal of electronics in the city of Francisco Beltrão - PR; to raising educational questions about e-waste disposal and develop an interactive web page style quiz (questions and answers using PHP, MySQL and HTML); develop an application for android, using AppInventor, with integration to blog and quiz on electronic waste disposal. The methodology used for the development of this software was OpenUP, which divides the development process into four parts: Introduction, Development, Construction and Transition. black and white box tests were used to check transitions in the chosen process. This application was developed in order to be used in schools as an incentive to the study and awareness of this very current and relevant issue is the disposal and garbage electronic.
