The main purpose of this thesis is to demonstrade the aplicability of an urban solid waste management system, strategic in reducing the ambiental degradation through about by the human intervention activites in the environment, though a participatory action-research in Vila do Abraão, Ilha Grande, Angra dos Reis – Rj. This locality was not associate to a none public system (effectively implemented) of urban solid waste management. For this, we made a literature review concerning about the central concepts that support this thesis: the urban solid waste in Brazil; the consumption and environment planning. We identify the urban solid waste management reality in Ilha Grande, since the producing until the final dispositable, based on documents, questionnaires, talking, photografic records and field work. Based on relevant literature along with the waste problems identification, we elaborate, through cognitive mapping, two maps refering to the conflicts that involve the island waste problems. The conflicts maps showed that the most relevant waste problem were, in the territory, the bedding company inadequate waste management, the Angra dos Reis Environment Secretary and Angra dos Reis Public Service; and consequentely lock of population environmental education frequency instability. With this data, we made a participant action-research in Vila do Abraão. We operate on experimental laboratory implementing a project called Recicla Ilha (Island Recycle) planned to be as self sufficient as possible (power public minimaly dependent). We tested a territory restructuring possibilities. Implementing the “Recicla Ilha” together with the a group actions developed based on critical transformer environmental education, we reduced the social environmental pre-existing conflicts related to garbage ande recyclable waste, that were discarded as garbage.
