Resumo
Around 60% of Brazilian municipalities, especially the smaller sized cities, still
dispose of solid urban waste in inadequate manner. The solution to this issue
represents a great challenge to the public sector. In Zona da Mata, in the southeast
region of Minas Gerais, where the city of Rio Pomba is located, several observers
attribute the problem of solid urban waste to the lack of attention from the public
sector. In some of the municipalities in the region, even basic waste collection is not
implemented. The citizen in these municipalities, by lack of alternatives or resources,
is habituated to simply throwing away their waste directly into the waters of rivers in
the region. Thus, the investigation proposed in this research has the objective of
analyzing the process of solid urban waste management in the Rio Pomba
municipality, from 1999 to 2012. The viewpoint of the stakeholders involved in the
process is taken, considering the before and after of the implementation and
successive deactivation of the Waste Recycling Plant in the city. The methodology
used is based on a quantitative study. The following instruments were used to collect
data: semi-structured interviews (recorded through audio and transcribed for
analysis), visits, field reports, and relevant documents. Twelve key stakeholders were
interviewed, among which public managers that currently have or had in the past
some type of link to the waste disposal process in Rio Pomba. To analyze the data,
three categories of analyses were identified, denominated respectively: "Knowledge",
"Accountability" and "Environmental Education". In the conclusion, an analysis of
solid waste management in Rio Pomba is presented. We observe fragility in this
process, specially because of the discontinuity of several one-off activities that were
disconnected from a systemic approach.
