Resumo
Environmental problems are linked to social problems as they occur in the reality of urban areas in developing societies. A particular effort is made to avoid confusing these problems, pointing out their specificities and the possibility brought by environmental issues to rethink, in theoretical terms, urban planning and management. The thesis then discusses the role the capitalist state plays in these societies as mediator of social conflicts that arise from discriminatory pOlicies. The significance, limits and possibilities of public participation to define or implement public policies, and the role that environmental education can play in this sense are also discussed. Two case studies relate the environmental degradation of hydrographic basins located in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region, in which public participation is contributing to decision processes in different ways. In one case, technocratic decisions are fundamental; in the other, this participation implies dialogue between the state and the civil organizations in order to enable negotiations to take place.
