Análise da percepção dos atores sociais em relação à efetividade da execução do Programa de Saneamento da Baía de Guanabara

Abstract

The decontamination of the Guanabara Bay has already exceeded 20 years and represents one of the greatest challenges for environmental management in the State of Rio de Janeiro. This study aims to evaluate the perception of social actors regarding the effectiveness of the Environmental Public Policy of the Environmental Sanitation Program of the Municipalities around the Guanabara Bay in the period from 2012 to 2015. The research was divided into three stages. The relevance of the present study is clear because it is an object that influences the quality of life of many citizens of our State, besides the moment that marked the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The first one was to verify the budget execution in the period of the study. Subsequently questionnaires were applied to representatives of the executive, legislative and civil society. The research was also carried out in the field, through interviews with the Secretaries of Environment. After documentary study, based on the application of questionnaires to the social actors involved, and the development of the Swot Matrix, indicators of effectiveness on perception were verified. It was concluded that, in general, the program did not reach effectiveness, considering that it did not bring the social benefits expected by society.
