Compatibilização da gerência de sistemas de infraestrutura: importância e necessidade de sua aplicação em cidades

Abstract

The existence of infrastructure networks that integrate the urban space are essential for providing an adequate environment for society. For urban infrastructure can fulfill its purpose there must be the implementation of various management systems for networks that comprise it. However, in almost their entirety, these systems are managed by different bodies or companies, with no integration of management causing undesirable adversities. The objective of this research was to analyze, from a case study, the need and the possibility of integrating the management of three urban infrastructure systems in the city of João Pessoa - PB: the pavement management system, the sewage collection network and the urban drainage system, in addition to checking how the condition of each system influenced the functioning of the others. The study was carried out from the analysis of 67 stretches, each 80 meters long, spread over the four areas of the city in order to reach a significant sample. The survey of the condition of each system present in the section was tabulated and later qualified. From the qualification it was possible to elaborate spreadsheets with the condition of each system, being able to show when they fit or not in the ideal conditions. From the analysis of the obtained results it was possible to verify that the concomitant qualification of the three evaluated systems proved to be very useful in the investigation of the influence of the condition in which each system was found, and in relation to the influence in the other systems. The joint assessment showed positive results with regard to ease of management, as well as assistance in future decision making by responsible managers. Finally, it was possible to evidence the benefits as well as the need for concomitant management of the systems in the reality studied.
