ROTAS TECNOLÓGICAS DE RESÍDUOS DOMICILIARES EM COMUNIDADES INDÍGENAS: O CASO DA ALDEIA MARAWYTAWA, TERRA INDÍGENA TROCARÁ – PA TECHNOLOGICAL ROUTES FOR HOUSEHOLD WASTE IN INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES: THE CASE OF MARAWYTAWA VILLAGE, TROCARÁ INDIGENOUS LAND - PA

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Population growth and accelerated urbanization result in the generation of excessive amounts of solid waste. Technological routes have been used in different scenarios to map the opportunities and challenges of solid waste management and administration covering all stages. The combination of two or more technologies, from generation to final disposal of urban solid waste, characterizes the so-called technological route. The research was carried out in the Trocará Indigenous Land – specifically in the Marawytawa village, located in the state of Pará, between the municipalities of Tucuruí and Baião, 23 km from the city of Tucuruí, on the left bank of the Tocantins River. The aim is to map the descriptive technological routes of solid waste generated in the Marawytawa village - Trocará Indigenous Land. The research was conducted in four stages: development of the research instrument; application of the instrument; compilation of information and mapping of the descriptive technological routes. The results show that the Marawytawa village does not have municipal services for the collection, transportation and proper disposal of waste. The lack of knowledge about the correct management of waste and the lack of educational actions result in the inadequate burning of materials. In addition, organic waste is destined for domestic animals or burned directly on the ground. Given this scenario, the implementation of accessible and sustainable technologies is recommended, in addition to ongoing educational programs, aiming at the environmental improvement of the community.
