SUMMARY:

The present study aimed to diagnose the current scenario of Urban Solid Waste management in the municipality of Ibipitanga, Bahia, from the perspective of ecology. To this end, the methodological process was divided into three phases. In the first phase, attention was paid to the development of the research protocol, researching the instruments to be adopted in the study and guiding readings. Still at this stage, studies were carried out for the theoretical basis, in order to facilitate understanding of the topic, and the importance of preventing the generation and final disposal of urban waste, in an ecologically appropriate manner. This study was based on public domain bibliographic sources and was developed through consultations with articles, dissertations, legislation, technical standards and resolutions. In the second phase, field work was carried out to collect data and information in the areas and with public managers. Data collection was carried out at the Municipal Environment Secretariat - SEMMA, at waste generation and storage points, at the Association of Recyclable Material Collectors - ACM, as well as at the final waste disposal site, in order to capture images and evaluate the operation of the infrastructures that make up the MSW management system. For the data collection procedure, a methodological instrument was developed, based on the National Solid Waste Policy, Technical Standards and relevant policies. For data analysis and interpretation, the SWOT method was used, which is an acronym originating from the initial letters of the English terms Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats which mean in Portuguese, respectively, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (LOPES, MELO 2021). According to Pereira et al (2022), the SWOT method is widely used in quality management, which aims to contribute to the interpretation of qualitative information. In addition to helping managers make decisions, especially the most urgent ones. To diagnose the generation of MSW in the municipality, data was obtained only on conventional collection. Subsequently, a population estimate and the generation of MSW were carried out for the next 20 years, with the purpose of analyzing the current generation and the management coverage of MSW in the municipality. The generation of MSW, generated weekly from conventional collection, represents 28,000 tons, so 4,000 tons/day are generated daily. The urban population served at the start of the project was 5,509 inhabitants, so the per capita generation was 0.726. The services offered in the municipality related to MSW are urban cleaning and MSW management, such as conventional collection, selective collection, environmentally appropriate final disposal (recycling, sorting, composting, final disposal). Afterwards, the results of the diagnosis summarized all the information, concluding that the Swot method allowed analyzing the management of MSW in the municipality of Ibipitanga from the perspective of ecology, identifying that there are more positive points than negative ones. The negative points need to be worked on both in MSW management and in management planning so that service provision continues to evolve, providing the population with a better quality of life, in addition to promoting the preservation of natural resources, stimulating the circular economy that leads to improvements rapid progress towards sustainability.
