Abstract

This study aimed to assess urban environmental problems in the municipality of dengue Missal, using as a methodology the direct application of a questionnaire to a sample of 100 people (about 1% of the population). After collecting the data, they were classified, quantified, analyzed and interpreted in the form of tables and graphs and subsequently were contrasted with other studies already performed by other authors as well as correlated with the pertinent literature in question. From the results obtained, it can be stated that the work of preventing dengue is an abstruse activity nowadays, considering the complexity of the various factors that contribute to the proliferation of vectors and cause epidemics. Thus, it is important to emphasize the main problems that enable the proliferation of vectors: lack of adequate sanitation, inadequate infrastructure, improper disposal of solid waste, climate changes from global warming and natural phenomena. In addition, there is the need for uninterrupted environmental education culminating in raising awareness of changing attitudes, aiming at eliminating potential breeding sites of the dengue carrying insects. Therefore, it is essential to combat the dengue a policy based on intersectionality, leaving the government and the community to ensure favorable conditions for increased quality of life.
