Análise da relação e da destinação dos resíduos sólidos e dos restos numa comunidade rural

Abstract

The aim of this work is to understand the relation between solid waste and its implications in the people life. By considering an enlarged use of the concept of waste and his trajectory throughout the times, we can note a close connection between the garbage and the people’s way of life, their social relations and bonds.The aim is to establish a relation between waste and remnant by considering this last concept as a psychoanalytic one that designates what is remainder from psychic operations experienced by all people. Thus arises the hypothesis that the subject deals with the waste in the same way as he deals with its remains. To evaluate the consistency of this hypothesis, we conducted a field survey in the community Azevedo, located in the rural municipality of Moeda – MG, western slope of the Serra da Moeda. The concepts of environmental analysis were used to handle the data collected. This effort resulted in a socioeconomic and environmental diagnosis of the studied region.
