Diagnóstico de áreas de disposição irregular de resíduos da construção civil no bairro Cidade Industrial de Curitiba

Abstract

Population growth causes an increase in the generation of urban solid waste, as well as construction and demolition waste. These residues, for the most part, receive inadequate final destination, being disposed of in inappropriate places, directly affecting the environment. In this context, laws, norms and tools have emerged to reduce this problem. Therefore, the main objective of this work was to diagnose the areas of irregular disposal of civil construction waste in a neighborhood of Curitiba – PR, through bibliographic research and field visits, analyzing the areas higher rate of irregular disposal and looking for patterns that lead to irregular disposal. It was found that there are preponderant factors over others that lead to irregular dumping, the most relevant variables were the presence of construction in progress and empty land. Analyzing the proximity to delivery points, it was observed that the distance to the correct disposal sites for waste was not relevant, while the average income range of the local population contributed to the high rate of irregular disposal of this waste. Thus, the existing public policies proved to be inefficient, considering the lack of correct guidance for the disposal of this waste. Suggestions for initiatives to prevent recurrences were proposed, such as environmental education projects in schools, expanding access to information about the city’s delivery points and reward programs according to the correct disposal of construction and demolition waste.
