Abstract

Most health problems affecting the world's population are intrinsically related to the environment. Basic sanitation can be considered as an instrument for the prevention of diseases caused by the environment through human action. Thus, the objective of the present study was to survey the perception of the residents about the conditions of basic sanitation in the municipality of Teotônio Vilela – AL. Twenty-five semi-structured questionnaires were applied, addressing Basic sanitation issues. After the analyses we found the need to implement a basic sanitation network, so as to avoid diseases that are transmitted through the use of non-drinking water, the irregular destination of sewage and solid urban waste, which affect the quality of life.
