APLICAÇÕES, DIFICULDADES E COMPARAÇÕES PARA O MUNICÍPIO DE CUIABA-MT

Abstract

Sustainable development indicators are essential tools for urban planning and management. Among the problems to be faced by municipal managers, the issue of solid waste disposal is relevant, since this factor has a direct impact on the quality of life of the population. Therefore, the objective of this work is to apply the solid waste section of the NBR ISO 37120 - Sustainable Development in Communities for the municipality of Cuiabá in the state of Mato Grosso and, in addition, to make the comparison with the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. The methodological procedures consist of the application of data obtained through technical visits, dispatch of letters and consultations to the responsible bodies, in the equations presented by the solid waste section of ISO 37120 for the calculation of the indicators. The results showed that both Cuiabá and Rio de Janeiro dispose 100% of their waste in landfills and do not dispose of waste in landfills, incineration plants and other means, showing compliance with the National Policy on Solid Waste. In addition, it was found that both municipalities do not have availability of data on disposal and recycling of hazardous waste. Thus, it is emphasized the need to carry out data consolidation by municipal management and consequent application of sustainable development indicators to the municipality.
