Análise da gestão ambiental no Município de Gandu-Ba

Abstract

The present work refers to the study of environmental management in Brazil, with emphasis on its municipalization, based on a case study in the municipality of Gandu (BA), with the aim of analyzing its structure and management capacity. The work was carried out by means of a survey of secondary and primary data on the structures of municipal management, with visits to the competent body and to the official websites of the city hall, then the data were compared with the legal requirements, set out in federal and state legislation. Data analysis led to important findings such as the reduced technical team, the inexistence of publicizing information and the inactivation of the Municipal Council for the Environment, an essential instance in the process of decentralizing environmental management, as a guarantee of participation and social control. The results obtained reinforce the need for better organization of municipalities to comply with the legal provisions that guide municipal environmental management in our country and, thus, be able to carry out such important competences regarding the use, conservation and management of natural resources.
