Previous issue date: 2009-04-17 / The general purpose of the study was the analysis of residents' participation in the program of door-by-door collection of recyclable residuals in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Even though the conception of such program by municipal managers was basically aimed at providing job opportunities and income for the collectors, the main objective of the investigation was to verify whether residents' participation could be attributed to their environmental commitment. Data collection involved three municipal districts and was performed in three stages, with complementary methodological strategies (observation, questionnaire, and interview), and characterized by selfevaluation, by residents, and hetero-evaluation, by collectors. Social, demographic, situational/contextual, and dispositional data were identified to help in the analysis of residents' adherence to the program. Separating and delivering recyclable residuals was the most frequent type of residents' participation, which demonstrates their low level of appropriation of decisions related to the program, taking part on it as passive agents. Two forms of motivation towards participating in the program were found: environmental and social. Despite the first being more frequent, it was associated to lack of environmental awareness related to the process, which may very well imply a mere reproduction of pro-environmental discourse. Motivation towards social issues was strongly connected to philanthropic forms of help. Knowledge was revealed as na important predictor for participation, as well as social networks, formed by neighbors, relatives and friends. Despite the social emphasis in the design of the program, it is possible to conclude that some residents also perceive its environmental benefits, possibly as consequence of a knowledge originated outside the program. Initiatives of environmental education should be promoted in order to minimize the allegation of lack of knowledge as justification for non-participation. Similarly, actions to put together municipal management and population would be welcome, to promote joint decisions towards sustainable styles of life / O prop?sito deste estudo foi investigar a participa??o do morador no programa de coleta seletiva de lixo domiciliar na modalidade porta em porta existente em Natal-RN. Buscou-se compreender se essa participa??o ? decorr?ncia de compromisso pr?ambiental do morador, apesar de a concep??o do programa por seus gestores ter sido fortemente embasada na cria??o de trabalho e renda para os catadores. A coleta de dados envolveu tr?s bairros da cidade e foi realizada em tr?s etapas, de estrat?gias metodol?gicas complementares (observa??o, question?rio e entrevista), com destaque para a auto- e hetero-avalia??o realizadas, respectivamente, por moradores e catadores. Identificaram-se as condi??es s?cio-demogr?ficas, situacionais/contextuais e disposicionais que determinam a ades?o do morador ao programa. Verificou-se que a separa??o e entrega do material ? o tipo de participa??o mais freq?ente dos moradores no programa, o que demonstra que eles se apropriam pouco do processo decis?rio, participando de modo passivo. Existem duas motiva??es principais para a participa??o no programa: ambiental e social. Embora a primeira seja a mais freq?ente, constata-se pouca conscientiza??o ambiental associada ao processo, o que pode ser reflexo de uma mera reprodu??o do discurso pr?-ambiental vigente. A motiva??o por quest?es sociais se apresenta fortemente relacionada ? ajuda ao pr?ximo/filantropia. Conhecimento apresentou-se como um indicador importante para a participa??o, que tamb?m sofre influ?ncia das redes sociais, formadas por vizinhos, parentes e amigos. Pode-se concluir que, a despeito de o desenho do programa enfatizar o social, alguns moradores percebem tamb?m o benef?cio ambiental embutido, possivelmente como fruto de um conhecimento oriundo de fontes externas ao programa. Programas de educa??o ambiental, que minimizem o argumento do desconhecimento como justificativa para a n?o-participa??o, e a??es que aproximem gest?o municipal e popula??o deveriam ser promovidos, a fim de que se decida conjuntamente sobre as atividades que buscam a sustentabilidade
