Os serviços de saneamento em comunidade acadêmica: a percepção da educação de jovens e adultos e da licenciatura em ciências biológicas

Abstract

This article says about basic sanitation services for the health and well-being of the population, where they are fundamental. Inadequate sanitation of services such as: water treatment for supply, collection and treatment of sanitary sewage, solid waste and rainwater drainage, compromises the development of communities, services and pollutes the environment. Thus, the absence of these services constitutes risks to public health. Thus, in view of the importance of basic sanitation services, this study aims to analyze the perception of students of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás campus Águas Lindas: Technical courses integrated to youth and adult education - EJA/ Nursing and the degree in Biological Sciences in relation to water treatment for supply, collection and treatment of sanitary sewage, solid waste and rainwater drainage. For the accomplishment of this work, questionnaires were developed in the google Docs platform and applied among the target audience, with the aforementioned subjects. It is noted that for the public of Youth and Adult Education, sanitation services were perceived mainly in relation to the qualities of the services provided, and can highlight low water quality that arrives in their homes for consumption, low sewage treatment, and inefficient or even non-existent drainage systems. For the Degree in Biological Sciences, the urbanization process is a predominant factor for the quality of these services provided. These analyzes are of paramount importance to assemble the individual and collective profile of the perception of basic sanitation services in order to contribute to possible guidelines of public policies in health and actions in environmental education.
