ABSTRACT

Deficiencies in wastewater treatment or the lack of treatment systems compromise accessibility to drinking water, resulting in health and environmental problems. Environmental education can be considered as one of the ways to raise awareness among the population and recognize their rights, ensuring information so that they can fight for better conditions and access to sanitation services . The objective of the study was to carry out a bibliographical survey on the different methodologies that address basic sanitation applied to schools in Brazil, for future implementation in schools in Vila de Abraão, Ilha Grande, south coast of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The methodological survey was carried out in the Google Scholar databases, and with the data found, criteria listed in table form were established. The table served as an analysis tool considering the scenario in which the school found itself to select the most appropriate methodologies. In this way, the development of a tool to assist decision makers will allow the construction of a methodology suited to local and inclusive realities, aiming to establish dialogue between teachers, students and the community, for the development of a critical, broad vision. and developed on issues related to sanitation and local environmental preservation.

Keywords: environmental preservation; sanitation services; sewage treatment; colleges; Decision makers.
