Silva, Alcides Belfort da (2023) Proposal for sustainable civil construction in the city of Ribeirão Preto/SP from the perspective of environmental preservation. PhD thesis, Universidade de Ribeirão Preto, Brazil.
Abstract
The evolution of civil construction in recent times has been welcomed with good eyes, considering the indispensable growth and urbanization of cities in a planned way, as well as being one of the main sources of job creation and opportunities in the country. However, this evolution must be observed with acuity, with regard to environmental degradation, which is difficult to recover, and often even irreversible. The waste generated by civil construction (RCC) requires a Municipal Management and a Management of the construction companies in an adequate way, with regard to the proper destination, considering the large volumes generated. With the increasing concern for the achievement of an ecologically balanced environment for future generations, it is necessary to discuss the preservation of an environment in a sustainable way, with regard to the environmental impacts caused by civil constructions, considering the impacts on natural resources, without the proper management of CCR generated, as well as liability for damage to the environment. The research aimed to develop guidelines for the management of CCR in the city of Ribeirão Preto/SP, aiming to contribute to the PMGIRS of the city. For treatment and analysis of the data, content analysis was used as a method, since the research approach is qualitative on sustainable aspects. Concomitantly, on-site research was carried out, using observation techniques, non-formal interviews, as well as collection of photographic data, based on current legislation, analyzing the production, final destination, the Municipal Management and the Management of the Construction Companies in the generation of CCR, demonstrating which strategies can be carried out to correct any failures in the destination of CCR. There was the application of the SWOT Matrix, being possible to cross the opportunities and threats external to the organization, as well as to identify its strengths and weaknesses, in the strategic evaluation carried out by the results presented. Finally, with the methodology applied and the diagnosis obtained, it was verified on the correct destination of CCR and some suggestions were made for proposals for sustainable civil construction, in favor of the preservation of the ecologically balanced environment to the whole community, citing as an example: Building Information Modeling (BIM); dry construction construction method "concrete wall"; Reuse of water in the works; Use of Certified Wood and its proper destination; Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Control, and Environmental Sustainability Certifications; Reduction in Energy Consumption; Photovoltaic Power Generation; Selective Collection for residents.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
