Abstract
The Environmental Education has been considered to be one of the most important
tools for the Brazilian environmental policy, since it involves procedures, whose the
individual and the collective build up social values, knowledge, cleverness, attitudes and
abilities for the environment conservation. This construction demands a large participation
from the many sectors of the society. The Law on Water Resources recommends that the
management of these resources should require integration, decentralization and community
participation to insure Participant management. In this way, the rules on water conservation
and the precepts aiming environmental education can be associated. The Consórcio
Intermunicipal Lagos São João (CILSJ), as an instrument for management of the
environmental policy and of the water resources, uses environmental education in the
procedures of participant management of the river basins in which it is inserted. The study
intends to analyze environmental education as a procedure that promotes an improvement in
the environmental quality of the Cambucaes River s micro basin, city of Silva Jardim, state
of Rio de Janeiro, based on the Communities in Action on the Micro Basins Project (Projeto
Comunidades em Ação nas Microbacias), idealized by the CILSJ in its Environmental
Education Program. A qualitative methodology was used, in a descriptive research, hoping to
reveal the thoughts and actions of the individuals involved in this study, about their
comprehension and attitudes for the improvement in the environmental quality of their area.
Thus, beyond the preliminary studies of the area and technical visits, in the fieldwork
questionnaires were applied to teachers (twenty four in two phases) and students (four
hundred and twenty nine also in two phases) of two schools in the Cambucaes River s micro
basin. The analysis of these data revealed the profile of the target public about it s
environmental perception and promoted the evaluation of the effects of the environmental
education over this public s thoughts and attitudes, promoters of a participant action in the
community.
