Gestão de resíduos sólidos domiciliares orgânicos: práticas e técnicas para a destinação final na cidade de Rio Claro - SP

The present work is the analysis of the practices and techniques currently used in the final allocation given to organic household solid waste in the city of Rio Claro - SP. As the major part of Rio Claro’s household solid waste is formed by the organic fraction, as well as in the rest of the country, this research proposes a study on what is done with that portion of the waste, its treatment and where finally destined, based on the National Solid Waste Politic, recently approved in 2010. With the use of this organic part, for example: as animal feed supplement or compost embodiment for the purpose of producing organic fertilizer, enables the decrease of the percentage of the total destined to dumps and landfills. This total percentage has already been reduced after the popularization of the beneficial recycling programs in Brazil, which are still growing. As cities and the purchasing power of its individuals grow, there is also a consequent growth of waste production by society. The household whether domestic solid waste are lower than Industrial Solid ( RSI ) waste for the production in million tons ( Mton ) quantities , however, those residues are more visible on a daily basis - in cities and periphery as well, due to the inadequate management, - and also offer , as well as industrial and agricultural wastes , several types of harmful effects to the population when managed incorrectly. Therefore, the research aims to assist in the study of Solid Waste Management (MSW) for efficient Urban and Environmental Planning in a midsize city. Thus, this project aims to analyze in the city of Rio Claro, how the allocation of these materials is done and whether these practices denote effective improvement regarding the proper management of waste, in the same way that the recycling chain would allow this effect

O setor sucroalcooleiro no Pontal do Paranapanema: uma análise a partir do licenciamento ambiental

The development of the sugar and alcohol sector and its sugar cane cultivation has been given in an accelerated way in Pontal do Paranapanema, mainly from the last decade, and with this has taken quick changes in the dynamic socio-economic and environmental of the region, further accentuating some conflicts and dilemmas social and environmental legacy. This work was done in order that these issues are further explored, that of moving towards a greater theoretical-scientific maturity, and even has a better apparatus to support measures (corrective or preventive) that show required anti such conflicts. For this purpose, we used the environmental licensing as a means of doing this analysis, since it is one of the main instruments of control/ regulation of the State against the development of activities of the sugar and alcohol sector.

Determinação de áreas prioritárias para conservação na zona de amortecimento de UC de proteção integral: o caso da Estação Ecológica de Ribeirão Preto, SP

Observa-se como estratégia mundial para a conservação da biodiversidade a criação de unidades de conservação. No Brasil, especificamente no Estado de São Paulo, devido a intensa degradação da Mata Atlântica, verifica-se a criação de unidades de proteção integral, a fim de se preservar de modo restrito os recursos naturais que ainda lhe restam. Na cidade de Ribeirão Preto, uma região com alto desempenho agrícola e intensa expansão urbana, constata-se a presença de uma Estação Ecológica (EERP), fragmento florestal de 154,16 ha, altamente isolado e fragmentado. Assim, a EERP e sua zona de amortecimento (ZA) vêm sendo fortemente pressionada pela expansão urbana e agrícola da região, comprometendo a sua integridade ecossistêmica. Dentre os impactos negativos gerados destacam-se: alta especulação imobiliária e o intenso cultivo de monoculturas, que contribuem para a degradação do solo nas regiões do entorno. A fim de se reduzir tais impactos, o presente trabalho buscou apresentar um prognóstico de planejamento ambiental para a ZA da EERP, a qual se encontra altamente impactada, segundo os critérios definidos por Ranieri (2004). Desse modo, criou-se cenários ideais para a preservação dos recursos naturais do local

Política de sensibilización ambiental

Uno de los objetivos del Programa de Ordenamiento y Protección de los Recursos Naturales de la Costa Atlántica de Río Negro es promover experiencias innovadoras, vinculadas a la protección del patrimonio natural y cultural del litoral costero rionegrino. Dentro de este marco, el objetivo general es establecer las bases para un desarrollo sustentable. Esto no es posible, si no se acompaña de una fuerte sensibilización ambiental dirigida a diferentes sectores sociales respecto de los valores que representa este ecosistema costero, actividad desarrollada en el marco del Proyecto Desarrollo de una Política de Sensibilización ambiental. La implementación de una estrategia de Educación Ambiental que permita generar en la comunidad una mayor capacidad para comprender el ambiente y que contribuyan a valorar el patrimonio natural y cultural, es el eje fundamental para alcanzar el desarrollo sustentable de la región. Es por ello que se plantea el objetivo de generar una política integral de sensibilización ambiental que permita incluir la temática ambiental en los diferentes sectores sociales y modalidades del sistema educativo. Para lograrlo se realiza el Primer Seminario Taller sobre Diseño de una Política de Capacitación y Sensibilización Ambiental, que es el primer paso que permitió generar las bases de una propuesta de una Política Integral de Sensibilización Ambiental. Posteriormente se realiza una encuesta dirigida a la comunidad en general y a docentes en la que se propone analizar cada una de las problemáticas ambientales reconocidas a la luz de cuatro variables: muy grave, grave, leve y no conoce/no contesta. No fue intención realizar un análisis profundo y detallado de las variables sino resaltar grandes rasgos que permitan establecer comparaciones para su ordenamiento y tratamiento. También la se realiza un Curso para Docentes que brinda el marco propicio para la Formulación e Implementación de una Política de Sensibilización Ambiental. Otra actividad es la organización de un concurso anual "Conozcamos Nuestras Costas" dirigido a la comunidad educativa, en el que participaron activamente 430 alumnos pertenecientes a las tres localidades costeras. Se elabora y distribuye materiales de sensibilización ambiental elaborados luego de un trabajo de diagnóstico, recopilación de información y material fotográfico. El mismo se organizó en sets de 10 juegos cada uno (rompecabezas, libro de imágenes, memotest, entre otros), cuyo contenido es de flora y fauna, áreas de mayor sensibilidad ecológica y los principios de conservación. Por último se realiza un Taller para la Cooperación en la Prevención y Mitigación de Impactos Ambientales en la Costa Atlántica. Como resultado de este taller se obtuvo una Red de Alerta y Comunicación, que contribuya a la formalización y fortalecimiento de la ya existente. La creación de un Centro de un Coordinación Ambiental (CCA) que tendría su sede en la Dirección de Defensa Civil.

Comunidades tradicionais em áreas protegidas: convergências e lacunas da Política Urbana e Ambiental na Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Estadual Ponta do Tubarão/RN

This work presents a reflection on possibilities and boundaries of consolidation and expansion of human settlements characterized as traditional communities that are located within protected areas, using as study reference the State Sustainable Development Reserve Ponta do Tubarão, at Rio Grande do Norte state. The main topics highlight the conflict between the right to housing and the prevalence of fundamental rights of traditional populations, opposed to the diffuse right to environment, according to the regulatory framework of the Brazilian Urban and Environmental Policies. At the same time that these settlements, historically built, are substantiated by the principles of recognition of rights to traditional populations, they are in a condition of complexity to the resolution of conflicts in its urban dimension and lead to an impairment of natural sites. This work questions how the instruments of land use and occupation are defined and relate to environmental planning, especially considering that the settlements are located in Permanent Preservation Areas (APP). It aims to further the discussion of the urban dimension in settlements, characterizing its formation and growth process, to identify the gaps and convergences between the Urban and Environmental Policy, under the foundations of a socio-environmental approach. The results spotlights the conflicts between occupation and natural areas, inferring that the definition of Urban Policies instruments and its integration with Environmental Policies instruments account for essential and priority actions to the achievement to the rights to a sustainable city, as determined in the Cities Statute and environmental protection goals, defined for the Conservation Units
