Diagnóstico socioambiental dos estudantes residentes na moradia estudantil da Universidade Federal De São Carlos

Abstract

It is uncontestable that day after day the socio-environmental theme has been successful in acquiring visibility in the media, in organizations, in politics and in society in general. A large number of organizations have been adopting environmental management systems showing that this new reality is among public and private companies in a spontaneously or coercively ways. Within this context, the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) fits in with internal departments such as the Secretaria Geral de Gestão Ambiental and ProACE, which currently maintains 592 places in student housing located mostly inside of campus. Considering that a very significant portion of students that need residence assistance live in the internal student housing of UFSCar, they are the parcel that lives the reality of the institution more consistently, it is understood that, from the application of a questionnaire directed to this public, therefore, it is possible to subsidize discussions that attempt to understand their socioenvironmental perception and the actual effectiveness of the socio-environmental actions developed institutionally. In order to do so, we sought to understand the different concepts of Environmental Education and proceed with the survey of the most different actions and social-environmental initiatives present on the São Carlos campus of UFSCar. Thus, in these discussions we aim to collaborate institutionally in order to identify demands and subsidize actions of intervention, awareness, orientation and production of adequate didactic material, corresponding more dynamically to the internal expectations and society in general about the relevant role of a public educational institution in the socio-environmental debate.
