MEIO AMBIENTE URBANO E SANEAMENTO BÁSICO
Abstract
Este trabalho apresenta resultados preliminares de pesquisas realizadas sobre as condições de saneamento básico e os seus impactos ambientais nos bairros de Pirambu, Cristo Redentor e Barra do Ceará, localizados no litoral oeste de Fortaleza. São bairros de elevada densidade populacional, onde residem populações de baixa renda, encontrando-se uma forte incidência de habitações subnormais do tipo “favelas.” Em função das deficiências de infra-estrutura e de serviços básicos, são graves os problemas de saneamento ambiental que repercutem em toda a área. A partir de 1992, o governo do estado do Ceará estabeleceu um programa de saneamento básico para o município de Fortaleza com o objetivo de ampliar a rede de esgoto e de drenagem urbana, além da definição de metas para solucionar o problema da coleta dos resíduos sólidos. Nesta pesquisa procura-se identificar a situação atual do setor saneamento na área e os mecanismos que produzem a não universalização dos serviços e analisar as políticas que orientam a ação pública local.
