Lei de saneamento básico de Aracaju/SE: participação e do controle social

Abstract

To achieve the universalization of basic sanitation services, the adoption of appropriate measures is required, consistent with the reality of the population served and capable of being incorporated into their social practices. With the publication of Federal Law No. 11,445 in January 2007, a unique regulatory framework was inaugurated in the country in the history of basic sanitation in Brazil, according to this legal provision the universalization of basic sanitation was placed as a priority for the whole society Brazilian, having as its central axis the formalization of participation and social control in municipal management based on the principle of the social right to environmental health. On December 11, 2017, Law No. 4,973, of December 11, 2017, introduced the Basic Sanitation Plan of Aracaju / SE, bringing a favorable perspective to the population in order to improve the quality of life of the Aracaju people. In view of this, it was necessary to investigate the representativeness of the actors in the territory in which they operate, verifying the fulfillment of the population's demands and desires, evolving into a new context in which society has more effective participation in decision-making. Thus, participation and social control appear in these legal diplomas strengthening the social function of basic sanitation services. Qualitative and quantitative methodological procedures were used. In this sense, the involvement of the population of Aracaju in public policies on basic sanitation was analyzed. Thus, it was found that the mobilization of the community in the claims for investments in basic sanitation was considered unsatisfactory, showing fragile social control in basic sanitation actions.
