This study, carried out between May 2014 and May 2015, aimed to analyse the perception of sanitation on Mamangal Island, in the municipality of Igarapé Miri - Pará, in terms of access to and availability of basic sanitation services. To this end, semi-structured questionnaires were administered to 215 households distributed among the five communities on the island, in order to get to know the profile of the residents and the local sanitation conditions, as well as field observations and physical-chemical and microbiological analysis of water samples, both drinking water and river water. The context studied showed that there was no basic sanitation on the island. All those interviewed, regardless of their level of education, realised the problems with sanitation and their impact on health. 62% of the residents would like to see improvements in sanitary conditions, 37% in public health and 1% in environmental awareness. As a result, some suggestions were put forward for improving sanitation, which should be made feasible in each community. In addition, this final year's work will be made available to the island's community leaders and community health agents.
