This work aims at investigating the application of the bamboo as a construction material in the State of Sergipe, Brazil, through the analysis of the aspects deriving from its use process, them being: economical efficiency, the material´s physical and mechanical properties, local workforce output, acceptance level by the local population, a esthetical results of the bamboo in architectural applications and its possibilities of ecological development. The method employed in this scientific investigation was action-research, which made use of a coordinated collective action plan of technical, social and cultural character, oriented towards the solving of conceptual, technical and operational problems which arose from research matters raised throughout this project. The action selected so as to proceed in an investigation which could lead to solving such questions was the construction of a house in which the bamboo was a priority as a material employed. The designated sight for the construction was the ´´Horto do Diogo´´, located on the Oiterinhos farm, a Petrobras property, in the city of Carmópolis, state of Sergipe, Brazil. Under the perspective of ecological development, it is the project´s objective to investigate the use of the bamboo as an alternative in environmentally sustainable development contextualized in a technological, social, economic and cultural process. The ecological development is a strategy used in order to overcome the barriers imposed by a dominating market economy. For it to be fully successful, the development of proper technologies which can make the most of both bio and human diversity of each ecosystem particularly (whether local or regional) is essential. The bamboo has proven to be a plant and a material of enormous potentialities, presenting physical and mechanical properties (proved herewith) which qualify it as a widely accessible and easily usable material by either rural or peripheral urban populations of small cities, thereby being regarded as an alternative in sustainable community development as well as ecological development.
