Abstract
This dissertation analyzes the project “Caia na Rede” of the Environmental Education Program Environmental-Unit Jaguaribe Odebrecht in order to verify if adolescents, the Bate Facho community that participated in the project “Caia na Rede” in the period from 2012 to in 2013, they changed their attitude towards socio-spatial improvements. Many companies in fulfillment of its social responsibility carry out socio-educational activities in its surrounding communities to promote the conservation of the environment and the territory in which they operate. The approach used to address the issue of research, we start from the premise that environmental education is an environmental management process that presents itself in two ways, serving various corporate projects in the critical and conservative conceptions. Thus, the research demonstrates that environmental education can allow individuals to reflect on the social, political, environmental and economic, within the socio-spatial dynamics that are inserted to various problems and site improvements solution. The methodology used consisted of bibliographical research, documentary and descriptive qualitative approach, which allows us to understand not only the concepts of space, territory, environmental issues, environmental education, technological learning processes combined with environmental education, environmental management and social responsibility, but inter-relate them. The research instruments used were semi-structured interviews and using a questionnaire to trace the socioeconomic profile of the participants, degree of knowledge about the environment and digital content and finally, if there was a change of attitude towards the environment. The results obtained from the interviews and the questionnaires have ratified the two hypotheses. The first points out that through the actions of the project “Caia na Rede” participants can be included digitally and have access to environmental information. The second hypothesis is that participants may have changed attitudes towards the area, however, they failed to contribute to socio-spatial improvements. Therefore, it became clear that the environmental issue, although it is understood in a fragmented way by the participants, who do not understand the interrelationships between nature, individual and society, necessary for socio-spatial improvements.
