contents Diagnosis of civil construction waste management from the reading of the urban landscape Renam Serraglio Quaglio Alba Regina Azevedo Arana Geografía Social Waste Environment Environmental risk Inadequate disposal Civil construction can be identified as one of the industries that mostly cause environmental impacts due to the exploitation of natural resources and high waste generation rates. The current study aimed to report the main areas subjected to inappropriate C&DW (Construction and Demolition Waste) disposal in Presidente Bernardes County-SP- Brazil, based on its characteristics and spatial analysis. Methodological procedures adopted to characterize these areas comprised visits to disposal points, photographic records, geographic coordinates’ demarcation and direct observation of C&DW composition. Forty (40) irregular disposal points presenting more than 3 m³ of deposited C&DWs were demarcated after a detailed investigation about the urban perimeter and its access routes. The county’s area was subdivided according to urban features. All analyzed points presented Class A waste, whereas 82.5% of them presented Class B, and 47.5% presented Class C and D. In addition, 20% of the analyzed points had domestic waste, which evidenced the power attractiveness of C&DWs. Based on results in the current study, it was possible identifying the main irregular disposal areas, as well as estimating the discarded waste volume and its composition in order to substantiate the implementation of a differentiated waste management system in the county. 2020 artículo científico 0103-1570 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=321364988021 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3213/321364988021/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3213/321364988021/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3213/321364988021/321364988021.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3213/321364988021/movil 10.14393/SN-v32-2020-47547 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3213 Sociedade & Natureza application/pdf Universidade Federal de Uberlândia Sociedade & Natureza (Brasil) Vol.32
