Previous issue date: 2010-08-31 / Dengue is currently considered one of the most relevant public health problems
worldwide. Studies indicate the surroundings of the houses as the preferred sites for the
proliferation of Aedes aegypti. The residential areas are privileged environments for
human development and contribute to the formation of the individual s identity and for
the establishment of affective, social and cultural bonds. The purpose of this study was
to investigate possible links between psychological indicators of pro-environmentalism
and conservation status of residential backyards. Data collection was performed in 147
homes and methodological strategy involved the use of interview, the Scale of
Ecocentric and Anthropocentric Environmentalism, Scale of Consideration of Future
Consequences and a tool for environmental evaluation. It was found that the participants
expressed as environmental practices the garbage recycling, besides they had the
knowledge of how the transmission of dengue occurs. These residents showed ecofriendly
motivated commitment: pro-environmentalist ecocentric and anthropocentric.
In evaluating the backyard it was verified that the conservation conditions, in almost
half of the homes, appeared as carelessness on the part of residents and those conditions
are conducive to the proliferation of Aedes aegypti. The pro-environmentalists and
guidance for the future identified by the scales were not associated with the
conservation status of the backyards. However, it was found that the trends of reduction
and stability of infestation levels are associated with self-reported environmental care.
These results can contribute to the discussion and design of new mosquito control
actions and practices of education and health information among the population / O dengue ? considerado, atualmente, um dos principais problemas de sa?de p?blica no mundo. Os estudos realizados apontam o entorno das moradias como locais preferenciais para a prolifera??o do Aedes aegypti. Os ambientes residenciais s?o
ambientes privilegiados para o desenvolvimento humano e contribuem para a forma??o da identidade do indiv?duo e para o estabelecimento de v?nculos afetivos, sociais e culturais. O prop?sito deste estudo foi investigar poss?veis rela??es entre os indicadores psicol?gicos de pr?-ambientalidade e o estado de conserva??o dos quintais residenciais. A coleta de dados foi realizada em 147 resid?ncias e a estrat?gia metodol?gica envolveu a utiliza??o de entrevista, da Escala de Ambientalismo Ecoc?ntrico e Antropoc?ntrico, da Escala de Considera??o de Consequ?ncias Futuras e de um instrumento de avalia??o
ambiental. Verificou-se que os participantes expressaram como pr?tica de cuidado ambiental a reciclagem do lixo, al?m de conhecerem a forma de transmiss?o do dengue. Esses moradores apresentaram compromisso pr?-ecol?gico motivado, duplamente, por pr?-ambientalidades ecoc?ntrica e antropoc?ntrica. Na avalia??o dos quintais foi verificada que as condi??es de conserva??o, em quase metade das moradias, se
configuravam como descuido por parte dos moradores e essas condi??es s?o prop?cias para a prolifera??o do Aedes aegypti. As pr?-ambientalidades e a orienta??o de futuro
identificadas pelas escalas n?o foram associadas ao estado de conserva??o dos quintais.
Entretanto, foi verificado que as tend?ncias de redu??o e estabilidade dos ?ndices de
infesta??o est?o associadas ao autorrelato de cuidado ambiental. Os resultados
encontrados podem contribuir para a discuss?o e delineamento de novas a??es de
controle do mosquito e pr?ticas de educa??o e informa??o em sa?de junto ? popula??o
