Proposta de ações sustentáveis direcionadas à melhoria do ambiente escolar na região rural do Ceará

Abstract

Nowadays, sustainable development is one of the most discussed topics in various social spheres, being important not only for the urban areas, but also for the rural context. The development of sustainable technologies has allowed people to better use natural resources by reducing its operating level, as well as improving the quality of the built environment and minimizing its negative impact on the natural environment. However, the approach and application of these subjects in rural areas, especially in schools, have not achieved success due to both lack of approach and implementation of projects focused on those areas. This work aimed to present constructive and sustainable techniques that can be applied in rural schools in the State of Ceará, taking into consideration its regional peculiarities and forms of social mobilization to guarantee a sustainable action, focused on the school environment improvement. The work started with a region characterization and literature review on the possible techniques that could be used. Afterwards, we tried to link the technical aspects with region characteristics, as well as the best approach for each subject in the classroom, making them part of school life and following the recommendations of the environmental education law. Thus, we propose some sustainable actions to improve the built environment of rural buildings, and to facilitate the process of environmental awareness and teaching.
