Fashion democratization over the last few decades made fashion products available at lower costs to everyone in society. It alarmingly increased consumption, leaving drastic impacts on the world's sustainability both on the social and environmental fronts, thereby leading to water and land pollution, dangerous working conditions, sweatshops, wage exploitation, and gender discrimination. Our study, therefore, sheds some light on addressing this core problem of fashion sustainability by focusing on the problem from the consumers’ perspectives because researchers conclude that consumers hold power to mitigate this issue to a greater extent by becoming sustainable. However, in many cases, consumers show the attitude-behavior gap when it comes to consuming sustainable fashion. The area of actual sustainable fashion consumers is also under-researched. Therefore, we conducted our research in this area and used qualitative methods for it. We identified a small group of 16 sustainable transitional fashion consumers who have started their sustainable fashion consumption journey. We performed an inductive process study of these transitional consumers' journeys and developed a Conceptual ‘Consumer Journey Map’ from unsustainability towards sustainability. We used semi-structured interviews for data collection. By studying their entire process of transition, we identified a number of constraints that retained them from making the transition towards sustainable fashion consumption, such as Social Influence, Trend and Newness, Unaesthetic Appearance and Lack of Variety, Lacking Sizes and Fitting, Low price, and Lower Income, Lack of Knowledge and Information and Greenwashing by the brands. However, the enablers that pushed them to become sustainable were Influence from Sustainable social circles, Tangible Experiences, Quality and Longevity, and Feelings of guilt and remorse which are presented in ourconceptual ‘C-E Framework.' Our research also identified conceptual ‘Levels of Sustainability,’ where consumers reuse or reduceor reject to pass Level one. To reach Level two, a consumer has to begin combining any two of these behaviors. However, to reach the final Level X, a consumer needs to reuse, reduce, and reject simultaneously. A consumer passes through these different levels from being a ‘self’ consumer to be a ‘social’ one and finally converting into a ‘sacrifice’ consumer in their journey.

Memoria para optar al título de Geógrafo / En la comuna de El Quisco en la Región de Valparaíso, como en la mayoría de las comunas del país, no son ajenas las complicaciones que conlleva la gestión de los residuos, dichas complicaciones radican en el problema del florecimiento de microbasurales en diversos sectores del territorio comunal, que poseen ciertas características geográficas, sociales o sectoriales que pueden explicar su localización mediante el uso de los SIG. Sin embargo, la situación de los microbasurales no solo tienen explicaciones de su generación, sino que también suelen generar conflictos en la comunidad, el sector público y sectorialmente, como sucede con el turismo, principalmente en épocas estivales. Estos conflictos suelen expresarse de diversas formas y en distintas plataformas, pero tienden a invisibilizarse producto de la normalidad y de la cotidianeidad que estos han adquirido a través de los años y de la poca cultura ambiental que posee gran parte de la población nacional. De acuerdo a la ubicación, al tamaño, y a la población que habita los lugares donde se producen, algunos casos pueden generar tal cantidad de problemas graves, que se puede hablar de los microbasurales como generadores de un conflicto socioambiental. / In the commune of El Quisco in the Región de Valparaíso, as in most of the country's municipalities, are no stranger, the complications that involves the management of waste, this complications lies in the problem of the flowering of illegal dumping of waste in various sectors of the communal territory. Geography, social or sectoral networks can explain their location through the use of GIS. However, the situation of the illegal dumping of waste not only have explanations of their generation, but also often generate conflicts in the community, the public sector and sectorally, as it happens with tourism, mainly in the summer. These conflicts are usually a way of expressing the different forms and different platforms, but also a product of normality and everyday life that has been acquired over the years and the little environmental culture that has a large part of the national population. According to the location, the size, and the population that inhabits the places where they are produced, some cases can generate such amount of serious problems, that can talk about the fly-dumping as a socio-environmental conflict.

Background: The relevance of the food system for economic, environmental and social well-being is vital to consider. However, there is a lack of research covering issues and performance assessments of the supply chains in the food industry. Due to pressures on the natural environment and unsustainable production and distribution, Short Food Supply Chains (SFSC’s) have arisen as an alternative model to conventional supply chains. However, there is a need for more research in the field as its showing to be a growing trend in the food industry. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to study the topic of SFSC, where the focus in this paper is to explore what advantages and barriers food producers experience when operating within a SFSC. Method: This study is exploratory and follows an inductive and qualitative approach, where 6 semi-structured interviews with local food producers were used to collect data. The data was analysed and connected to previous literature using a thematic analysis.   Conclusion: The findings in this research illuminates that the advantages and barriers from selling through SFSC´s depends on the circumstances of the channel and the characteristics of the producers. They experienced advantages in their organization such as a high professional satisfaction, fair compensation and autonomy. The social proximity between the actors also facilitated the management of information and allowed for supply chain flexibility. However, producers also faced barriers such as the lack of proper governance in the SFSC channels, and logistical challenges such as the uncertainty of production and the difficulty of ensuring the efficiency of transportations. The analysis of SFSC’s is still in its early stages and the necessary innovations to attain the full positive effects have yet to be implemented.

De nos jours, la durabilité des activités humaines devient une préoccupation majeure dans le monde entier. Il s’agit d’évaluer ces activités non seulement en matière d’efficacité et de productivité, mais aussi en ce qui concerne leurs durabilités économique, sociale, environnementale, etc. Pour cela, les experts de ces différents domaines doivent travailler en collaboration. Dans ce contexte, les sociétés humaines sont confrontées à plusieurs défis majeurs qui sont les suivants : (1) traiter de grandes quantités d’informations (« big data »), (2) évoluer dans un monde réel dynamique et imparfait, (3) prévoir et évaluer les états futurs de ses activités.Les recherches que nous avons menées dans cette thèse contribuent plus particulièrement au domaine de l’ingénierie des systèmes de décision en univers incertain. Nous prenons comme objet d'étude général le domaine des systèmes socio-environnementaux, et plus particulièrement le domaine pluridisciplinaire de l’agriculture. Nous proposons une approche systémique pour l’optimisation durable des systèmes socio-environnementaux : (1) la méta-modélisation des systèmes socio-environnementaux, (2) la représentation générique de l’imperfection des informations qui circulent dans ces systèmes, associée à un modèle de décision en contexte incertain et enfin (3) la simulation et l’évaluation de ces systèmes en environnement dynamique en vue de prises de décisions par des experts, que nous avons illustrée par un modèle d’architecture orientée services ainsi que des études de cas appliquées au domaine de l’agriculture. / Nowadays, the sustainability of human activities is a major worldwide concern. The challenge is to evaluate such activities not only in terms of efficiency and productivity, but also in terms of their economic, social, environmental, etc. durability. For this, the experts of these areas need to work collaboratively. In this context, human societies are facing several major challenges such as: (1) process a large amount of information whose volume increases exponentially (“big data”), (2) live in a both dynamic and imperfect real world, (3) predict and assess future states of its activities.The researches we have conducted in this thesis contribute in particular to the domain of decision systems engineering under uncertainty. We have chosen the field of general socio-environmental systems as subject of study, particularly the multidisciplinary field of agriculture. We propose a systemic approach for the sustainable optimization of socio-environmental systems: (1) the meta-modeling of socio-environmental systems, (2) the generic representation of data imperfection flowing in such systems, associated to a decision model in uncertain environment and finally (3) the simulation and the assessment of such systems in dynamic environment for the purpose of decision making by experts which we have illustrated by both a service-oriented architecture model and case studies applied to the agriculture domain.

This study investigated the effects of high age-concentration of residential environment on: (1) the morale of the elderly; and (2) mutual-aid patterns with neighbors of the elderly. Empirical tests of hypotheses derived from the socio-environmental approach to aging were performed. The socio-environmental approach suggested that persons were most satisfied with themselves when there was congruency between what was expected of them by others in the environment and what they expected of themselves. As the local environment became concentrated with old people, the variety of situations with which persons were confronted was quite narrow in terms of demands on the elderly individual's behavior. In age-heterogeneous settings, however, the variety of situations that persons encountered were maximal, and the demands on behavior in this setting was great.

La presente investigación trata sobre el impacto que está generado la actividad que desarrolla la minería en el Perú, el lado positivo ha sido el aumento de ingresos económicos que ha hecho crecer y desarrollar al país, principalmente en los sectores de economía, educación, salud, etc. Pero el lado negativo de esta actividad extractiva minera ha desencadenado el acrecentamiento de los conflictos socioambientales entre las comunidades campesinas y las mineras. Ante ello, se busca evidenciar que, a los Gobiernos Regionales se les atribuyan mecanismos de control y fiscalización en el sector minero. Para ser más específicos en la mediana y gran minería dentro de su jurisdicción, contrarrestando los problemas socioambientales en el país. / The present investigation deals with the impact that mining extractive activity is generating in our country, the positive side has been the increase in economic income that has allowed the development of other sectors in Peru, mainly in the sectors of economy, education, health etc But the negative side of this extractive mining activity has triggered an increase in socio- environmental conflicts between peasant communities and mining companies. Given this, it seeks to demonstrate that the Regional Governments are attributed control and inspection mechanisms in the mining sector. To be more specific in the medium and large mining of its jurisdiction, counteracting the socio-environmental problems of the country.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar através de um estudo de caso os impactos socioambientais locais decorrentes de dois acordos comerciais para o acesso aos recursos genéticos e participação nos benefícios entre uma empresa de cosméticos e um grupo de pequenos produtores rurais da região do Vale do Ribeira-SP. Embora acordos entre empresas privadas e comunidades locais para a utilização comercial de componentes da biodiversidade venham sendo estimulados atualmente como forma de conciliar o uso sustentável dos recursos naturais com desenvolvimento local, alguns estudos têm demonstrado que, além de benefícios, tais acordos podem ter efeitos socioambientais negativos sobre as condições locais em que são estabelecidos. No Brasil, desde 2001, vigora a Medida Provisória 2.186-16/01 que regulamenta a Convenção sobre Diversidade Biológica (CDB) no país instituindo normas para o acesso a componentes do patrimônio genético e aos conhecimentos tradicionais associados. Tais normas baseiam-se, fundamentalmente, na anuência prévia e na repartição de benefícios junto a seus provedores. Apesar da existência desses instrumentos jurídicos, ainda pouco se sabe a respeito de sua aplicação prática e de seus impactos locais. A partir de técnicas qualitativas (entrevistas semiestruturadas, observação participante e análise documental) ao longo de um ano foram levantados dados a respeito do estabelecimento de dois acordos para a utilização de recursos genéticos para fins comerciais e de seus efeitos sobre: (i) a geração e distribuição de renda; (ii) a infraestrutura local e acesso à tecnologia; (iii) a organização social e; (iv) o uso dos recursos naturais locais (i.e. solo, recursos vegetais e hídricos). Os resultados mostraram impactos positivos diretos sobre a geração de renda e sobre o acesso à tecnologia e infraestrutura local. A respeito da organização social do grupo, a falta de uma plataforma para ação coletiva e seu reconhecimento jurídico são obstáculos à maior participação e à sua autonomia. Os impactos diretos e indiretos sobre uso dos recursos naturais observados foram: transformações no uso do solo através do aumento de espécies cultivadas, da redução de áreas com cultivos ou criações de animais para subsitência e da mudança no manejo e nos insumos empregados e; transformações no uso dos recursos vegetais através do aumento da extração da espécie alvo, no primeiro acordo, e do consumo de madeira para lenha, no segundo. Embora a realização de acordos comerciais para a utilização da biodiversidade tenha apresentado potencial para contribuir para o desenvolvimento local e para a conservação da biodiversidade, a realização de novos estudos em diferentes contextos se faz necessária para um maior entendimento de correlações e possíveis trade-offs entre fatores sociais e ambientais. / The aim of this study is to analyze local socio-environmental impacts resulting from two commercial agreements for the access to genetic resources and benefit sharing between a cosmetic company and a group of smallholders from Vale do Ribeira-SP region. Although agreements between private companies and local communities for the commercial use of biodiversity components have been encouraged today as a way to conciliate the sustainable use of natural assets with local development, some studies have demonstrate that beyond of its benefits, these agreements may have negative socio-environmental effects on local conditions where it was established. In Brazil, since 2001, the Provisional Executive Order 2.186-16/01 which regulates the Convention of Biological Diversity in country establishing rules for the access to genetic resources and traditional knowledge was released. These rules are fundamentally based on the prior acceptance and benefit sharing along with its providers. Despite the existence of those juridical tools, yet little is known about its practice enforcement and its local impacts. Qualitative techniques (semi-structured interviews, participant observation and documental analysis) were adopted to gather data about the establishment of two commercial agreements for the use of genetic resources and its effects on: (i) income generation and distribution; (ii) local infrastructure and access to technology; (iii) social organization and; (iv) use of local natural assets (i.e. soil, water and vegetable resources). The results show positive direct impacts on income generating, local infrastructure and access to technology. About the social organization of the involved group, the lack of one platform for collective action just as legal acknowledgement are both drawbacks to effective participation of its members and their greater autonomy. As regards environmental impacts it was observed: transformations in land use by increase of cultivating species, reduction of areas occupied by subsistence cultures or animal husbandry, changes in applied handling and raw materials and; transformations in the use of vegetable resources by the raise of target specie, in the first agreement, and by the increase of firewood consume, in second one. On the one hand, the realization of commercial agreements shows oneself to be a possible manner to contribute to local development and to biodiversity conservation. In the other hand, we still need new studies in different contexts for a better understanding of the correlations and trade-offs between social and environmental factors.

Análise de trânsitos discursivos multidimensionais (CITELLI, 2012) relacionados à \"ecocrise\", em busca de encaminhamentos práticos e epistêmicos para promover reflexão e estímulo à proatividade socioambiental cidadã a partir do eixo Comunicação-Educação. Entre os objetivos específicos do estudo, do qual participaram 514 sujeitos de pesquisa (distribuídos em 12 grupos heterogêneos), incluem-se: estudar possibilidades de preenchimento de falhas na comunicação vinculada ao cenário atual de múltiplos agravantes ao meio ambiente e envolver diferentes grupos da sociedade civil na pesquisa acadêmica, verificando oportunidades de contato e estabelecendo pontes participativas entre universidade e coletividade. A abordagem teórica multirreferencial associada a um conjunto de expedientes variados para captação de dados de campo configuram o método estabelecido para a investigação, de natureza quali/quantitativa. Assim, a observação e análise de aportes em circulação midiática, de interfaces dialógicas físicas e virtuais, bem como a oferta de palestras, minicursos, realização de entrevistas e dinâmicas, aplicação de questionários virtuais e presenciais perfazem uma combinação de técnicas (LOPES, 2005; PONTUSCHKA, 2011) cuja intenção foi recolher fluxos discursivos socioambientais de diferentes dimensões/direções, por meio dos quais verificamos aspectos medulares da comunicação socioambiental contemporânea. Entre os principais resultados, destacam-se: a) percepções díspares quanto à comunicação ambiental em rede, sugerindo que variáveis como faixa etária, interesses, velocidade de contato, tipo de páginas implicam (in)eficácia das interações digitais voltadas à temática ambiental; b) percepções uníssonas quanto ao papel da escola básica em favor do compartilhamento de conteúdos educomunicativos socioambientais na perspectiva do território; c) persistência da incomunicação cidadão-poder público (e vice-versa) no tangente a assuntos socioambientais urbanos; d) ratificação da percepção coletiva de que a comunicação ambiental a circular hoje nos espaços pesquisados está mais próxima de informação e não de comunicação propriamente dita (capaz de sensibilizar para engajamento concreto); e) confirmação de preferência majoritária entre os respondentes por atividades ecopedagógicas que envolvam deslocamento pelo bairro/pela cidade, acopladas ao emprego de meios para produção de tecnoimagens -- preferencialmente estáticas; f) observação de que circuitos colaborativos de informação, comunicação e ação socioambiental podem ser proficientes se conjugada reelaboração de conteúdos científicos (teóricos e práticos, incluindo resultados de campo) a aportes midiáticos para apresentação/discussão presencial dos trânsitos discursivos recolhidos e recombinados; g) observação de que o estudo do discurso coletivo socioambiental proporcionado pela verificação e análise de trânsitos discursivos multidimensionais evidenciou-se como fresta epistêmica e estratégia metodológica viável para: g1) incremento da ação socioambiental proativa entre habitantes de áreas urbanas ambientalmente prejudicadas e g2) planejamento multi-institucional dos processos pesquisa-ensino correlacionados ao binômio comunicação-educação ambiental em tempo de progressivo agravo ecológico. Nossa investigação aponta, entretanto, para a urgência em amplificar contato institucional da universidade com escolas de ensino básico (públicas e privadas), instituições religiosas, instâncias de governo e instituições outras, a fim de desenvolver projetos territorializados de comunicação e educação ambiental integrados ao ensino formal, não formal e informal. Tal movimento vem ao encontro da necessidade de identificar novos mecanismos discursivos, comportamentais, institucionais e epistêmicos aptos a reduzir a distância entre as políticas públicas e a participação dos cidadãos nos processos decisórios ligados à qualidade da vida citadina. / Analysis of multidimensional discursive transits (CITELLI, 2012) related to \"ecocrisis\", in search of practical and epistemic referrals to promote reflection and stimulation of citizen socio-environmental proactivity from the Communication-Education axis. Some of the specific objectives of the study, which involved 514 research subjects (distributed into 12 heterogeneous groups), are: studying possibilities of filling in communication gaps linked to the current scenario of multiple aggravating factors to the environment and involving different groups of civil society in academic research, verifying opportunities for contact and establishing participatory bridges between university and community. The established qualitative/ quantitative research method consists of the multireferential approach coupled with a set of varied tactics for field data collection. Thus, the observation and analysis of contributions in media circulation, of physical and virtual dialogic interfaces, as well as the offer of lectures, mini-courses, interviewing and dynamics, virtual and face-to-face questionnaires constitute a combination of techniques (LOPES, 2005; PONTUSCHKA, 2011) whose intention was to collect socio-environmental discursive flows from different dimensions/directions, through which we verify the core aspects of contemporary socio-environmental communication. Among the main findings: a) disparate views regarding environmental network communication, suggesting that variables such as age range, interests, speed of contact, type of pages influence in the (in)effectiveness of the digital interactions focused on the environmental theme; b) unified perceptions about the role of the middle and high school in favor of the sharing of socio-environmental educational contents in the perspective of the territory; c) persistence of the incommunication citizen-public power (and vice versa) when it comes to urban socio-environmental issues; d) ratification of the collective perception that the available environmental communication nowadays in the researched places is closer to information and not to communication itself (which is capable of raising awareness for concrete engagement); e) confirmation of majority preference among respondents for ecopedagogical activities involving walking around the neighborhood / city, together with the use of means to produce techno-images -- preferably static ones; f) observing that collaborative circuits of information, communication and socioenvironmental action can be proficient by combining re-elaboration of scientific contents (theoretical and practical, including field results) to media contributions used to face-to-face presentations/discussions of collected and recombined discursive transits; g) observing that the study of the socio-environmental collective discourse provided by the verification and analysis of multidimensional discursive transits was evidenced as an epistemic gap and viable methodological strategy for: g1) increasing of proactive socio-environmental action among inhabitants of environmentally impaired urban areas and g2) multi-institutional planning of the research-teaching processes correlated to the binomial communication-environmental education in a time of progressive ecological damage. Our research points, however, to the urgency of amplifying the university\'s institutional contact with public and private elementary, middle and high schools, religious institutions, government agencies and other institutions, in order to develop territorial communication and environmental education projects integrated into formal, non-formal and informal teaching. Such a movement meets the need to identify new discursive, behavioral, institutional and epistemic mechanisms capable of reducing the gap between public policies and citizen participation in decision-making processes linked to the quality of city life.

Este trabalho trata da narrativa de resistência que o Movimento de Pequenos Agricultores-MPA constituiu para resistir aos processos de expropriação das sementes dos camponeses, no estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil. O objetivo é analisar como o projeto de sementes do movimento influenciou a construção da soberania alimentar por meio de suas ações junto às instituições. Como instrumentos metodológicos fontes primárias e secundárias foram utilizadas, levando em consideração o referencial teórico da ecologia política, focado em conceitos de conflitos socioambientais, justiça ambiental e soberania alimentar. Assim, foi realizada pesquisa de campo, nos anos de 2015 e 2016, nos estados do Distrito Federal, Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul, com diferentes atores que participaram do processo. Da análise constata-se que o movimento por meio da cooperativa Oestebio, desenvolveu a experiência de massificação de sementes crioulas e varietais a partir de uma ampla articulação de ações, alianças com instituições e outros movimentos, influenciando e sendo influenciado por políticas públicas e ações do Estado para constituir a soberania genética com base no projeto de soberania alimentar. Ao teceram uma longa teia de relações, articulando os campos político, econômico, científico e socioambiental, ancorado no diálogo constante nos diferentes níveis local, regional, nacional e internacional - constituíram uma experiência portadora da soberania alimentar dentro dos limites atuais da economia política contemporânea, expropriadora de recursos e geradora de conflitos e injustiças socioambientais. / This thesis is about the resistance narrative of Small Farmers Movement has established to resist to expropriation of peasants seeds, in the Santa Catarina state, Brazil. The goal is to analyze how the project of seed of the movement has impacted the food sovereignty throughout its actions with institutions. Primary and secondary sources were used as methodological tools taking account the political ecology approach, focusing on concepts such as socio-environmental conflicts, environmental justice and food sovereignty. A field work was conducted, in 2015 and 2016, in Distrito Federal, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul states, interviewing several actors who took part of this process. It was verified that the movement by means of Oestebio cooperative developed the experience of multliplication of native and varietals seeds throughout a broad articulation of actions, alliances with institutions and others social movements. It has influenced and has received influence of public policies and State actions to constitute genetic sovereignty based on its food sovereignty project. By weaving a long web of relations, connecting the political, economical, scientific and socio-environmental fields, based on a frequent dialogue in different levels local, regional, national and international they built an experience of food sovereignty inside current limits of the political economy, expropriator of resources and producer of socio-environmental conflicts and injustices.

A universalização do acesso ao saneamento básico tem impactos sobre a saúde, meio ambiente e cidadania. Diante da realidade da segregação habitacional existente no Município de São Paulo, evidencia-se uma cidade permeada por iniquidades sociais e ambientais. A melhoria efetiva das condições de esgotamento sanitário se insere no combate à pobreza, à redução das desigualdades sociais e sustentabilidade ambiental. Para alcançar a efetiva universalização dos serviços de esgotamento sanitário e a dignidade das populações que vivem em assentamentos precários faz-se necessário dar visibilidade à realidade do déficit da infraestrutura em esgotamento sanitário nas áreas periféricas em escala intramunicipal. É fundamental que as ferramentas de avaliação estejam voltadas para a promoção do acesso às populações que vivem em assentamentos precários. Assim a pesquisa propõe analisar se os dados disponíveis referentes ao saneamento retratam a realidade dos assentamentos precários. Para atingir esse objetivo, buscou-se a utilização de indicadores baseados no modelo Geo Cidade de São Paulo para aplicação e adequação da matriz PEIR (pressão, estado, impacto e respostas), para demostrar a realidade excludente das popualções que vivem nos assentamentos precários sem esgotamento sanitário e as consequencias na qualidade de vida e saúde ambiental, em consonância com os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável, (ODS). Foram analisados os dados das Subprefeituras; Capela do Socorro, Cidade Ademar, MBoi Mirim e Parelheiros, pois são as subprefeituras que circundam os grandes reservatórios de água para abastecimento público dentro do município que de São Paulo e abrigam grande parte de dois grandes reservatórios de água, as represas Billings e Guarapiranga. Dentre os resultados encontrados, estima-se que no ano de 2010, cerca de 3.046.625 pessoas viviam em assentamentos precários no município e destes, 229.869 mil pessoas viviam nessas subprefeituras ao redor das represas e despejam o esgoto in natura nos mananciais de abastecimento. Sob a perspectiva das iniquidades sociais e dignidade da pessoa humana, a análise dos indicadores tende a apresentar que o crescimento populacional nas regiões periféricas, combinado com precariedade de moradias e falta de coleta de esgoto com expansão da área urbanizada próxima a esses mananciais ameaça não só a qualidade, saúde e bem-estar das populações que ali residem, mas comprometem a sustentabilidade dos últimos recursos hídricos remanescentes dentro da cidade de São Paulo, uma vez que 36,02 por cento dos domicílios em assentamentos precários sem coleta de esgoto encontram-se naquela região / The universalization of access to basic sanitation has impacts on health, the environment and citizenship. Facing the reality of the existing housing segregation in the city of São Paulo, it is evident a city permeated by social and environmental inequities. The effective improvement of the conditions of sanitary sewage is inserted in the fight against poverty, the reduction of social inequalities and environmental sustainability. In order to achieve the effective universalisation of sanitary sewage services and the dignity of the populations living in precarious settlements, it is necessary to give visibility to the reality of the infrastructure deficit in sanitary sewage in the peripheral areas in intra municipal scale. It is critical that the assessment tools focus on promoting access to populations living in precarious settlements. Thus the research proposes an analysis whether the available data on sanitation portrays the reality of precarious settlements. In order to reach this objective, we sought to use indicators based on the \"Geo City of São Paulo\" model for the application and adequacy of the PEIR matrix (pressure, condition, impact and responses) to demonstrate the excluding reality of the populations living in precarious settlements without sanitary sewage and the consequences in the quality of life and environmental health, all in line with the Sustainable Development Objectives (ODS). The data of the following subprefeituras (administrative divisions of the City of São Paulo) were analyzed; Chapel of Socorro, Cidade Ademar, MBoi Mirim and Parelheiros, since it is the subprefeituras that surround the large reservoirs of water for public supply within the city of São Paulo and shelter most part of two ruge reservoirs Billings and Guarapiranga dams. Among the results found, it is estimated that in 2010, about 3,046,625 people lived in precarious settlements in the city of São Paulo and of these, 229,869 thousand people lived in these subprefeituras around the dams and discharge the in natura sewage in the sources of water supply. From the perspective of social inequities and human dignity, the analysis of indicators tends to show that population growth in the peripheral regions, combined with precarious housing and lack of sewage collection, with expansion of the urbanized area close to those springs threatens not only the quality, health and well-being of the populations that live there, but compromise the sustainability of the last remaining resources of water within the city of São Paulo, since 36.02 per cent of the households in precarious settlements without sewage collection are in that same region.
