MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE AND URBAN SOLID WASTE

Abstract

This study examines information and knowledge management in organizational environments, aiming to analyze scientific production that integrates these themes—information and knowledge management—with the theme of urban solid waste. Specific objectives included: a) identifying scientific articles produced on the topic; b) showing the themes addressed in the identified production. It is characterized as bibliographic research, aligned with a qualitative approach. The analysis used publication indicators: titles, keywords, and abstracts, within an 10-year time frame (2015-2025). As a result, 12 scientific articles indexed in the databases Scielo, Scopus, Database in Information Science, Portal Capes, and Federal University of São Paulo Journals were found, with interrelations between information management, knowledge management, and urban solid waste. The themes found were: solid waste policy, information dissemination in information systems, urban solid waste management, environmental education, solid waste in learning processes, innovation, and organization in a waste picker cooperative. Finally, it is concluded that despite the limited number of scientific publications found that have an interrelationship between the themes, it is relevant to conduct research focused on companies that manage and handle urban solid waste, considering that the use and disposal of this waste protects public health and the environment.
