Revisão bibliométrica sobre gestão de resíduos no setor de construção civil

Abstract

The civil construction industry is considered to be a driving force in the country's development, with a high share in the Brazilian GDP - Gross Domestic Product. However, this industry has a high environmental impact, resulting from its activities, such as the extraction of natural raw materials for the execution of its works, the waste and misuse of materials and their improper disposal. This article performed a bibliometric study of the 36 articles found in the virtual platforms Capes Periodical and Spell in the last two decades, from January 2000 to December 2020 with the aim of analyzing the scientific production on waste management in the construction sector. With research of exploratory nature and descriptive approach, the data were analyzed quantitatively presenting results from a structure of tables, charts, and graphs. From the data analysis, one can conclude that the subject is still little disseminated and addressed by researchers in the administration area. This behavior is justified by the fact that this is a theme with recent legislation, which is still being studied and implemented. The fact that the municipalities do not require a more effective supervision of the activities related to the management of construction sites in the civil sector hinders the effectiveness of the waste management model.
