Estudo de caso: aspectos e impactos perceptíveis na localização de lixões municipais utilizando a ferramenta M-MACBETH

Abstract

Dumps represent a major problem of municipal managers and have several challenges that need to be overcome. For that, it is necessary to reconcile economic and technological development with social and environmental responsibility actions and the eradication of the areas used for disposal of solid waste generated by the municipalities. The article presents an evaluation process of the current sites of the dumps in Crato, Juazeiro do Norte and Barbalha, showing the environmental, social and economic impacts on the population. The objective of this article is to present the problem of the municipalities' dumps using the M-Macbeth Methodology and to verify the most worrying scenario. The work shows that municipalities have deficiencies regarding the criteria raised and that the final destination area of solid waste requires immediate and relevant measures, and that, in the opinion of the decision maker, no municipality is far from the problem of dump.
