The municipality of Abaetetuba belongs to the middle region of Pará Northeast and
MicroregionCametá, to 01°43'24 "South and to 48°52 '54" West, with an area of
1610.74 square kilometers. It is bathed by the river Maratauíra, (tributary of
theTocantins river) and it is far about 120 km from the capital of the state, Belém. In
Abaetetuba urban occupations at the Maratauíra riverbank bring a public safety
problem by the construction of houses without planning and disposal waste, a
remarkable fact in the area that comprising the free fair in the city, located on the
edge (side) of the city, in which the presence of waste is so intense on the streets as
in the river. Another important point is related to water pollution due to accumulation
of garage and the presence of floating service stations that sell fuel and other
services. In working with the proposed theme we search not only to analyze
environmental problems and their causes / effects in this area, but above all present
forms of preservation for the citizens themselves become aware of their actions on
the environment they inhabit and create mechanisms so that damage does not get
bigger to affect them directly. In order to understand how market traders and
consumers see this area, an environmental survey was conducted at the trade fair,
in which involved respondents answered questions about hygiene, administration,
etc. of that area. As a result, the dissaffection of the people related hygiene and
cleanliness of the fair, classifying it as a space devoid of hygiene. This picture get
worse by the absence of public policies for the management of space that is so
important culturally and economically to the people. Problems such as insecurity
and urban plagues, among others, have been identified and should be treated. One
of the suggested actions is the mobilization of the productive sector, public
authorities and market traders, consumers and residents to promote preventive
measures for waste minimization, selective collection of recyclable waste and the
use of organic waste for animal feed, compost and assistance to charities.
