La falta de percepción ambiental de los habitantes en relación a la problemática que los circunda también es un factor preocupante. De esta forma, la intención de este trabajo fue verificar el acceso a los servicios de saneamiento básico y la percepción ambiental de los habitantes en la comunidad Candidópolis, ubicada en la zona rural de Itabira / MG. Para ello, se aplicaron cuestionarios a 50 residentes en la comunidad. a. Los resultados obtenidos indican que el pozo artesiano existente en la comunidad es la alternativa más utilizada para el abastecimiento. En cuanto al agotamiento sanitario, se percibió que más de la mitad del alcantarillado es despejado en los cursos de agua sin ningún tratamiento previo. Los residuos sólidos se recolectan sólo una vez por semana y no existe un sistema de recolección selectiva en la comunidad. Se verificaron también pocos sistemas de drenaje, algunos de ellos están obstruidos o asustados. En el aspecto relacionado a la percepción ambiental, una parte de los habitantes tiene conocimiento de que la situación vivenciada no es la más adecuada y creen que nuevas tecnologías implantadas traerían beneficios para la comunidad en aspectos ambientales, de salud y calidad de vida. Para la solución de los problemas relacionados con el saneamiento, la participación de las instituciones municipales es esencial, a través del uso de tecnologías adecuadas para la recolección y tratamiento de aguas residuales y residuos, considerando las características de la región. Se propone también la realización de proyectos de educación ambiental junto a los moradores, buscando minimizar las intervenciones negativas en el medio ambiente.Em bairros e comunidades de zona rural, observam-se condições precárias de saneamento que desencadeiam inúmeras consequências negativas para os moradores que residem nestas localidades, sendo que as condições sanitárias são essenciais para o bem-estar, qualidade de vida e saúde da população.
