Meio ambiente e destinação de resíduos sólidos de um circo de lona itinerante em uma comunidade de fortaleza: estudo de caso no Circo X

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the understanding of the traditional circus population on the environment subject and, more specifically, on the correct destination of the solid residues coming from the circus spectacles, through a questionnaire applied to the agents of Circus X, in Fortaleza. The application of the questionnaire aimed to elucidate the process of appropriation of the determinants of law 10.340 / 2015 by the traditional circus community regarding the understanding of solid waste treatment. It was possible to observe the deficit of the circus population in relation to the knowledge about solid waste, in addition to a still inexpressive action of the State on education and promotion of these policies for circus populations. Thus, it is suggested proposals to promote a more robust environmental education and the importance of the correct destination of these solid wastes, as well as follow up of these actions and subsequent similar researches to be carried out during the term of execution of the aforementioned law, with the purpose of circumventing this reality and making effective the participation of these agents as active participants in the construction of citizenship.
