Wyka Kwara University: a culturally ecological and environmentally sustainable university

Abstract

The plan of the construction of the University Wyka Kwara in the Cotijuba Island, in Belém do Pará, seeks forms of sustainable construction in order to reduce the environmental impacts caused by Man. A prior survey of conceptions on the issue of volunteering was carried out, in which a questionnaire was made available online, in the host groups of the WhatsApp social network, containing 13 questions, 11 closed and 2 two open. The construction planning is divided into 3 phases, the project is characterised by its long duration (from 12 to 14 years).  The present work seeks to make a reflection about the ecological footprint of construction and the damage and consequences caused by these constructions, and present the project of construction of an indigenous university.
