Resumo(s)
O aumento da produção de resíduos, impulsionado pelo crescimento populacional, pelo
turismo e pelos padrões de consumo, representa um desafio significativo para regiões
insulares. Estas áreas, caracterizadas por limitações geográficas, escassez de recursos e
elevada vulnerabilidade ambiental, exigem soluções inovadoras e sustentáveis para uma
gestão eficaz dos resíduos. Este estudo analisa de que forma o design sustentável pode
apoiar a criação de um sistema de gestão inteligente de resíduos na Ilha da Madeira.
A investigação examina o cenário atual da gestão de resíduos na região, identificando
desafios específicos como a logística de transporte, a infraestrutura limitada, a
sensibilização da comunidade e o comportamento humano. Para tal, recorre a uma
abordagem mista, combinando análise qualitativa e quantitativa de dados recolhidos em
entrevistas com a população e com entidades responsáveis pela gestão de resíduos.
Com base nos princípios do design sustentável e no uso de tecnologias aplicadas, a
pesquisa procura propor soluções que aumentem a eficiência e a eficácia da gestão de
resíduos, alinhando-se aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Através de uma
abordagem interdisciplinar, que integra design, tecnologia e sustentabilidade, pretende
se não apenas mitigar os impactos ambientais, mas também promover práticas de
economia circular, incentivar o envolvimento da comunidade local e reforçar a resiliência
do sistema insular.
Os resultados esperados incluem o desenvolvimento de diretrizes estratégicas que
respondam aos desafios enfrentados pela Ilha da Madeira e que possam ser adaptadas a
outros contextos insulares com problemas semelhantes.
The increase in waste production, driven by population growth, tourism, and consumption patterns, poses a significant challenge for island regions. These areas, characterized by geographical limitations, resource scarcity, and high environmental vulnerability, require innovative and sustainable solutions for effective waste management. This study analyzes how sustainable design can support the creation of a smart waste management system on Madeira island. The research examines the current waste management scenario in the region, identifying specific challenges such as transport logistics, limited infrastructure, community awareness, and human behavior. To this end, it uses a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analysis of data collected in interviews with the population and with entities responsible for waste management. Based on the principles of sustainable design and the use of applied technologies, the research seeks to propose solutions that increase the efficiency and effectiveness of waste management, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. Through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates design, technology, and sustainability, the aim is not only to mitigate environmental impacts but also to promote circular economy practices, encourage local community involvement, and strengthen the resilience of the island system. The expected results include the development of strategic guidelines that respond to the challenges faced by Madeira Island and that can be adapted to other island contexts with similar problems.
