Abstract

The work aims to show contextual factors, from the Institutional Collective Action (ICA), that influence the inter-municipal cooperation of waste treatment consortia in the Met-ropolitan Regions in Brazil. Inter-municipal Consortia in the solid waste area are im-portant for the National Solid Waste Policy (Law 12.305/2010). With the inter-municipal aggregation it is possible to build sanitary landfills, something that requires scale, and there, the metropolitan regions, in theory, are potential agglomerations for this type of policy. For the development of the study, Factor Analysis and Multivariate Data Analy-sis were used, based on Multidimensional Scaling. A universe of 5142 municipalities in Brazil were analyzed through the MUNIC database. The study concludes that the influencing factors in the creation of consortia in metropolitan regions are: Character-istics of transaction goods, Characteristics of Communities, Political Institutions and Structure of Political Relations
