Resumo
O aumento da produção de industrializados, o alto crescimento populacional nas cidades e hábitos de consumo pautados na “cultura do descartável” trazem como consequência uma ampliação da produção de resíduos, e, por conseguinte, geram graves impactos socioambientais. Esta questão está relacionada a muitas ciências, inclusive à Geografia, uma vez que se refere às relações do homem com o espaço, influenciando na administração e no planejamento urbano das cidades. Nesse contexto, a presente dissertação tem como objeto de estudo os Ecopontos geridos pela administração pública municipal de Rio Claro (SP), os quais recebem diferentes tipos de resíduos sólidos provenientes dos pequenos geradores das residências na área urbana. Através da realização de entrevistas, aplicação de questionários, trabalhos de campo e elaboração de mapas temáticos, observamos os Ecopontos quanto a seus limites, como, por exemplo, o grau de contribuição da população com o descarte de resíduos, e suas possibilidades, como a seleção de materiais que podem ser reciclados. Objetivando prevenir descartes irregulares de resíduos e impactos ambientais decorrentes destes, os Ecopontos revelam-se importantes como estrutura de apoio ao gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos urbanos domiciliares, colaborando para a destinação final ambientalmente adequada destes resíduos e, consequentemente, para manter a limpeza da cidade.
The increase in the production of industrialized products, high increase of the population in cities and consumption habits guided by the "culture of the disposable", brings as a consequence the expansion of waste production, therefore generates serious social and environmental impacts. This question is related in many sciences including the Geography, since these actions are linked in man's relations with space, influencing in the management and urban planning of cities. In this problematic, the dissertation have as object of study the Ecopontos, places managed by the municipal public administration of Rio Claro (SP) that receive different types of solid waste from the small generators of the residences in the urban area. Through interviews, the application of questionnaires, fieldwork and making thematic maps, the Ecopontos were observed in their limits, for example the degree of population’s contribution to waste disposal, and possibilities, like the selection of materials that can be recycled. With the objective to prevent irregular waste disposals and respective environmental impacts, the importance of the Ecopontos is revealed in the operation of these as a support structure for the management of solid urban household waste, aiming at the final environmental disposal of these wastes to maintain the city's cleanliness.
