PUBLIC RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: SANITATION REGULATION PRACTICES IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF PORTO VELHO-RO

Abstract

This article analyzes the management and regulation practices of basic
sanitation in the municipality of Porto Velho, Rondônia, focusing on the application of
public resources and the inspection of the Municipal Basic Sanitation Plan (PMSB).
The research seeks to identify the main flaws and challenges in the administration and
application of resources allocated to basic sanitation, in addition to understanding how
regulatory practices are being implemented in the municipality. Through research and
documentary analysis, it was observed that deficiencies in monitoring works and
inspection compromise the effectiveness of the project. The objective is to verify
whether water supply, sewage collection and treatment and solid waste management
services are being carried out in an efficient and sustainable manner, as provided for by
the Municipal Basic Sanitation Plan (PMSB). The research also intends to describe the
inspection measures adopted, evaluating whether they are guaranteeing the quality and
universalization of these services for the population. Furthermore, the investigation
seeks to reveal the obstacles faced in the implementation of these public policies, such
as the lack of infrastructure, low sanitation coverage in urban and rural areas, to improve
planning, monitoring and transparency in the management of public resources.
