Plano Municipal de Saneamento Básico e seu impacto no Índice de Atendimento Total de Água, no Índice de Atendimento Total de Esgoto e na Taxa de Cobertura Regular do Serviço de Coleta de Resíduos Domiciliares

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of the implementation of Municipal Basic Sanitation Plans (PMSB) on performance indicators related to water supply, sewage collection, and solid waste management services. The analysis is based on a methodological approach that combines the use of clustering (k-means), Propensity Score Matching (PSM), and linear regression. The clustering technique using the k-means algorithm will be employed to better characterize and classify the analyzed sample. The use of PSM will serve as the tool to create comparable sets of municipalities, with and without PMSB, ensuring that their observable characteristics are balanced and controlling potential selection biases. Linear regression will be applied to assess the relationships between PMSB and the behavior of the Total Water Coverage Index, the Total Sewage Coverage Index, and the Regular Household Waste Collection Service Coverage Rate. The results derived from this study will provide a robust analysis of the impact of Municipal Basic Sanitation Plans (PMSB) on municipal-level basic sanitation management.
