The research presents governance as an instrument to improve the process of management of urban river basins in the municipal sphere, strengthening the involvement of stakeholders, including society, to consolidate and democratize the management process. Therefore, were identified contributions from the field of environmental governance for the recovery of urban watersheds, specifically analyzing the case of the Belem river basin in Curitiba, Parana state, Brazil. Thus, from a documentary and bibliographical analysis, it was possible to verify some subsidies of experiences and studies (local, regional and international) for the recovery of urban hydrographic basins, elucidating perspectives and challenges for the management of the Belem River basin. Some perspectives were: (1) the creation of a cooperative or association for garbage collectors, improving the social status of this category and reducing the amount of waste; and (2) the creation of a subcommittee of the Belem river basin, which may result in more effective management of its problems and make the political involvement of the residents more apt. Some challenges identified were: (1) decentralization of environmental monitoring of the quality of the waters of the Belem River; (2) overcoming sectoral public policies; (3) greater environmental awareness and proactivity of society. |
