Resumo(s)
Ao longo dos anos as questões ambientais tornaram-se o centro das discussões acadêmicas
e de preocupação de governos de todo o mundo devido ao agravamento dos problemas
causados pela degradação do ambiente natural, principalmente nas áreas urbanas. Foi neste
contexto que o desenvolvimento sustentável entrou em evidência, discutindo-se o uso dos
recursos naturais em função do progresso econômico, social e ambiental. Atualmente, a
percepção é de que há um maior engajamento da sociedade em relação à redução dos
impactos gerados na natureza, principalmente os mais jovens, denominados como
pertencentes da chamada geração Z, que compreende os nascidos entre 1996 e 2003,
considerada como a “Geração global”, e que está mais atenta aos problemas do mundo, como
os definidos nos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). Nessa perspectiva, o
foco principal desta pesquisa foi compreender o comportamento da geração Z em relação a
sua conscientização ambiental, mais especificamente em função da destinação correta dos
resíduos sólidos em áreas urbanas. Desta forma, verificaram-se quais as práticas divergentes
e coincidentes no discurso ambiental dos frequentadores (geração Z) do Bairro Alto, em
Lisboa, na destinação correta dos seus resíduos sólidos descartados ao final do período de
ócio noturno. Para isso, foi realizada pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa do tipo discussão em
grupo (Focus Group) e com a aplicação de formulários (Survey) para identificação da
sensibilização da geração Z, frente a esta problemática. Os resultados mostraram que os
frequentadores do Bairro Alto possuem alta conscientização ambiental (mais de 70%),
colocando em prática o discurso pró-ambiental característico da geração à qual pertencem.
Over the years, environmental issues have become the center of academic concerns and the concern of governments around the world, due to the aggravation of the problems caused by the degradation of the natural environment, especially in urban areas. It was in this context that sustainable development came into evidence, discussing the use of natural resources in terms of economic, social, and environmental progress. Currently, the perception is that there is a greater engagement of society in relation to reducing the impacts on nature, especially the younger people, belonging to the so-called Generation Z, which comprises those born between 1996 and 2003, considered as the "Generation global”, and which is more attentive to the world's problems, such as those defined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From this perspective, the focus of this research was to understand the behavior of Generation Z in relation to its environmental sensitivity, more specifically in terms of the correct disposal of solid waste in urban areas. In this way, it is verified which are the divergent and coincident practices in the environmental discourse of the regulars (Generation Z) of Bairro Alto, in Lisbon, in the correct destination of their solid waste discarded at the end of the night out period. For this, quantitative research was carried out, in the form of group discussion (Focus Group), with the intention of identifying the awareness of Generation Z in facing this problem. The results induced that Bairro Alto's frequenters have high environmental sensitivity (more than 70%), putting into practice the pro-environmental discourse characteristic of the generation to which they belong.
