Espera-se com esse livro dar início a uma série de publicações que permitam apresentar o escopo do Programa Ambiente, Saúde e Sustentabilidade e contribuir para a difusão ampla das pesquisas realizadas pelos egressos e corpo de orientadores. Esse primeiro livro tem seus 12 capítulos distribuídos em três partes, abordando, em sua parte I, Áreas urbanas e seus desafios; na parte II, Saneamento ambiental e sistemas urbanos; e na parte III, Interação entre ambiente, sociedade e saúde. Com essa publicação, busca-se também ampliar a articulação com outras esferas da sociedade, com o objetivo de colaborar para ações de sustentabilidade. Ao cumprir com a proposta do Programa de Pós-Graduação Ambiente, Saúde e Sustentabilidade, as organizadoras demonstram, com essa publicação, o potencial de entrega à sociedade dos produtos de um trabalho intenso, sério e convergente realizado pela Faculdade de Saúde Pública da Universidade de São Paulo.

“…Hence, this paper explores these three ID pillars of governance approaches: (A) social, (B) environmental and (C) relational (Gupta et al, 2015;Gupta & Vegelin, 2016), linking them to six WatSan indicators: (A.1) access to minimum WSS (as a right) (Appelblad Fredby & Nilsson, 2013;Bisung et al, 2016), (A.2) access to WSS even if the urban poor do not have formal housing (Obrist et al, 2006;Appelblad Fredby & Nilsson, 2013), (B.1) domestic wastewater collection and treatment (Heller, 2009;Oteng-Ababio, 2014), (B.2) water availability (for WSS delivery) Giatti et al, 2013;Heller, 2015), (C.1) participation (of the urban poor) (Obrist et al, 2006;Bisung et al, 2016) and (C.2) low-income WSS subsidies (Attari & van Dijk, 2016;Fuente et al, 2016). The indicators selected potentially address exclusion, reflecting key issues of concern to the urban poor (Obrist et al, 2006;Oteng-Ababio, 2014;Chimankar, 2016;Murungi & Blokland, 2016b).…”

“…Particularly in overcrowded neighbourhoods (e.g., urban poor informal settlements), poor WSS cause unhygienic circumstances and environmental degradation (Obrist et al, 2006). The EI approach in WatSan can be translated into two indicators: (B.1) domestic wastewater collection and treatment to minimise negative anthropogenic impacts on ecosystem services and human health (e.g., waterborne diseases), caused by domestic sewage discharge into the environment (Obrist et al, 2006;Heller, 2009;Oteng-Ababio, 2014;Murtha et al, 2015), and (B.2) water availability which relates to freshwater as the provisioning ecosystem service to be preserved (MEA, 2005;Cutolo et al, 2013;Giatti et al, 2013;UN, 2015), allowing WSS provision. While (B.1) refers to the local ecosystem where the urban poor live and reducing impacts downstream, (B.2) refers to ecosystem services of upstream sites often used as the freshwater source by WSS providers .…”

Public water supply and sanitation policies and inclusive development of the urban poor in Brazil

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Poorly designed policies jeopardise ecosystems and their services and the expansion of basic services to vulnerable populations. In the water and sanitation (WatSan) sector, inadequate access of the urban poor to formal and public drinking water supply and sanitation services (WSS) calls for more inclusive policies. Inclusive development (ID) has social, environmental and relational dimensions. However, there is little research on operationalising ID dimensions in WatSan policy discourse analysis. Hence, this paper addresses: How can we elaborate on indicators for inclusive WatSan policies? How can these be applied to assess the design of Brazilian WatSan policies? It examines the literature on ID and WatSan, develops and applies an analytical framework with six indicators to assess ID in WSS through policy analysis: access to minimum WSS; access to WSS even if the urban poor do not have formal housing; domestic wastewater collection/treatment; water availability; participation; and WSS subsidies for low-income people. Comparison between two Brazilian WatSan policies shows that the current WatSan law scores higher on ID than the previous law but neglects key aspects of social, environmental and relational ID dimensions. The selected indicators were useful to operationalise ID in WatSan policy discourse analysis and can boost policy design assessment elsewhere.
