Avaliação da geração de resíduos da construção civil e suas implicações em bairros populares. O caso do bairro de Gramame em João Pessoa- PB.

Abstract

The managers of cities have found it difficult to effectively manage the generation of civil construction waste (CCW) in order to solve the problem of irregular arrangements that compromise the quality of life of the population and cause serious environmental and health problems. For these reasons and due to housing growth driven by incentives from the Federal Government through the social program called Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV), the object of this study was to assess the generation of waste arising from civil construction of the popular buildings at two sites located in the neighborhood known as Gramame in the city of João Pessoa – PB, based on resolutions of the National Environment Council – CONAMA No. 307/2002 and No. 431/2011, and the National Policy of Solid Waste – PNRS (Law No. 12,305 of 2010). A qualitative and quantitative methodology was applied and had the following steps: Bibliographical Survey (survey, review and critical analysis of national and international literature); Documentary Research (visits to public administration, to companies that have implemented the land subdivisons Parque Sul II and Novo Milênio, and to companies that process the CCW); Field research (Interviews with questionnaires, Recognition of areas of study, Mapping and Quantification of CCW), Selection and Organization of Data and Analysis and Interpretation of Data. According to Law No. 11.176/07 from the city of João Pessoa, the CCW generated at the construction site should be segregated during execution of works. However, it was found that the waste is not subject to any kind of segregation. Based on the mapping done for three months in the land subdivisions, an average of fourteen points of irregular arrangement of CCW was found. According to the quantification in the foundation phase, the most discarded residue is sand (69%), and in the phase of structures, the most generated residue is the mortar (58%). Since the masonry, ceramic brick (42%) is the most discarded finishing step and the residue which is most generated is plaster (25%). Thus, this study aims to contribute to ensuring greater awareness of the problem presented by the generators and that a more efficient inspection by the appropriate agencies occurs. We propose measures to reduce waste, to reuse the CCW generated and to recycle the material at the building site. It also shows how design can influence the minimization of CCW.
