Abstract:

The growth of urban periphery of Brazilian cities has occurred without an adequate sanitation infrastructure. Different social groups try to overcome these deficiencies seeking local sanitation alternatives at individual or community levels, in contrasting with the universal model of sewerage networks. This study was developed in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, a peripheral neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, in order to analyze the installation process of sewage system, under a territorial approach. The obtained data allowed the construction of territorial schemes related to conflicts during the implementation of the sewage networks in this neighborhood, middle class groups and slums residents coexist with environmental preservation areas, beaches and commercial activities. This work revealed the need for contextualization about sanitation information, such as released by census and the state sanitation company, which conceal these conflicts or the representation of residents about their sanitation problems. Overlapping territorial managing practices should be considered as one of the factors responsible for the conflicts raised in the neighborhood. Finally, further studies are suggested as a way of methodological complementing and data update.
