“…Isso por sua vez, faz com que a parcela mais vulnerável da sociedade seja estimulada a ocupar os assentamentos informais das cidades. À vista disso, o saneamento básico mostra-se como sendo o maior problema na ocupação, devido à ineficiência do Estado, além de tipificar a recorrente violação dos direitos humanos (ARRUDA;HELLER, 2022).…”

O acesso à água e ao saneamento básico são direitos humanos fundamentais. Dessa forma, a avaliação e monitoramento dos serviços de saneamento básico a partir de indicadores torna-se cada vez mais necessário. Nesse sentido, o artigo tem por objetivo classificar os municípios das Bacias PCJ a partir de cada fator, segundo o saneamento básico. O método de pesquisa é exploratório, aplicado, com abordagem qualitativa, estudo de caso e procedimento documental. Optou-se pela aplicação da técnica Multivariada de Análise Fatorial por Componentes Principais. Foram selecionados quinze variáveis a partir de dados do Sistema Nacional de Informação e Saneamento, e a coleta foi realizada para o ano de 2019. Dentre os resultados destaca-se que a dimensão Cobertura do atendimento de água e esgotamento sanitário (Fator 1) por capturar o maior número de informações da amostra explica o maior percentual da variância total dos dados, e apresenta cobertura para maioria dos municípios das Bacias PCJ. Pressupõe-se que a metodologia empregada pode ser replicada em outros contextos de Bacias Hidrográficas, além de ser um instrumento para o acompanhamento e gestão do saneamento básico. Palavras-chave: abastecimento de água; esgotamento sanitário; indicadores de saneamento; gestão da água. Picture of basic sanitation of PCJ basins: a proposal for classification of municipalities ABSTRACT: Access to water and sanitation are fundamental human rights. Thus, an evaluation and monitoring of basic sanitation services based on indicators become increasingly necessary. In this sense, the article aims to classify the municipalities of the PCJ Basins based on each factor, according to basic sanitation. The research method is exploratory, applied, with a qualitative approach, case study and documental procedure. It was decided to apply the Multivariate technique of Factorial Analysis by Principal Components. Fifteen varieties of data from the National Information and Sanitation System were selected, and the collection was carried out for the year 2019. Among the results, it is highlighted that the dimension Coverage of water supply and sanitary sewage (Factor 1) for capturing the largest number of information from the sample explains the highest percentage of the total variance of the data, and presents coverage for most municipalities in the PCJ Basins. It is assumed that the methodology used can be replicated in other contexts of hydrographic basins, in addition to being an instrument for monitoring and managing basic sanitation. Keywords: water supply; sanitary sewage; sanitation indicators; water management.

IntroductionIn 2020, the Brazilian government sanctioned Law No. 14.026, which established new guidelines for water and sanitation in the country and encouraged service privatization. Based on this, the State of Minas Gerais government, Brazil has proposed a bill for these services. Regarding this bill, different social actors in the State of Minas Gerais have expressed different assessments concerning the outcomes of the proposed management model and its impact on the realization of the human rights to safe water and sanitation.MethodsWe used content analysis techniques to assess the position of different actors—government, civil society, and private sector—in three public events that were recorded and posted on the YouTube platform.ResultsThe analyses of this study indicated that the positions of the current government are aligned with those of the private sector. Also, the analyses agree that privatization can lead to the universalization of access to services. These different actors did not mention the human rights to safe water and sanitation in their discourses. Civil society organizations are concerned about the guarantee of those rights. For them, privatization of water and sanitation services can lead to discontinuation of the access of these services to vulnerable populations and poor municipalities due to tariff increases.DiscussionThe discourses concerning water and sanitation privatization as an instrument for universalization are disputed. Private sector actors and government representatives, aligned with the neoliberal agenda, support privatization. Civil society organizations defend the improvement of public management as the path to universalization. Representatives of municipalities were not included in the discussion for the new bill. The different societal positions relate to the different views these actors have concerning privatization and the world.

This study analyzes whether the low rate of universalizing water supply and sanitation services in Brazil is related to the low participation of private companies in the concession of these services in municipalities in the country. To this end, it discusses basic sanitation in Brazil and its current scenario, its problems from the point of view of environmental injustice, and the existing public/private conflicts. The empirical analysis conducted a data survey of eight municipalities defined in four population groups, comparing data from 13 operational, efficiency, quality, and cost indicators of the services provided. Each population group compared two municipalities providing water and sewerage services, one provided by a public company and the other by a private company. The compared data were from 2021, obtained through the Brazilian National Sanitation Information System (SNIS). As a result of the comparative analyses, it was shown that the performance of public companies was more positive for most indicators, compared to private companies. It is concluded that the main challenge to overcome the social and environmental injustice resulting from the deficit in basic sanitation coverage lies in the promotion of public management instruments that enable the articulation of public and private investments in the expansion of basic sanitation services, in the improvement of the quality of services with the inclusion of social control through popular participation.
