This work aims to analyze the sanitation indicators of the municipality of Florianópolis,
with an emphasis on the coverage of the sewage collection network from 2015 to 2023,
based on data from the National Sanitation Information System (SNIS). It addresses
the contradiction between the city’s high development levels and its weak performance
in basic sanitation compared to other capitals in Brazil and the Southern region.
The analysis shows that access to basic sanitation in Brazil is closely linked to
socioeconomic and regional inequalities, highlighting disparities within urban spaces.
The research investigates Florianópolis’s urban dynamics, focusing on the unequal
distribution of sanitation networks and the constraints of public policies in the sector.
The main results indicate that, despite steady population growth and a robust GDP,
Florianópolis faces challenges, including a significant portion of its population lacking
access to sewage services, inconsistent infrastructure development, and per capita
investments below national recommendations.
This suggests a dissociation between economic progress and resource allocation for
essential infrastructure, which compromises sustainable development. The study
emphasizes the need for a more planned and effective approach to investments in
basic sanitation, prioritizing policies that expand and improve sewage networks and
increase per capita investments to align with national guidelines, thereby ensuring
environmental sustainability, public health, and socioeconomic development. |
