A dinâmica do uso do solo da avenida cruz das armas em João Pessoa –PB.

Abstract

The city, like a mosaic, is composed of different elements that together form a whole and one of these elements is the street. The street is the main component of a city, a cell of the urban tissue and that it comes from the neighborhood. Bornas a path that leads somewhere. Tortuous or rectilinear streets went through reformulations from antiquity to the present day, thus became the streets (alleys, streets or avenues) and we know today that form large urban grids. Each of these streets has its particularities and various land uses. Cruz das Armas Avenue is a gateway of great importance, because it was one way of expansion and one of the main entrances/ exits of the city that gives access to the city of Recife.The main objective of this work isto seek and reveal so understanding the dynamics of land use Avenue, the changes in the same, analyzing the data collected and its use of the soil, but with the caveat that this transformation occurred more intensity from the 1980s, but started in the late 1960 and early 1970 due to the expansion of the city and with it the need to meet the commercial demand or of services that went along that growth to the South side of the city. It features a large number of homes, shopsand services and other activitiesalong its length which gradually transform although not as during expansion. Today keeps your soil “stagnated”in a transition that has left its mixed use, residential above. Is marginalized over Epitácio Pessoa, the other via expansion of the city, but it is clear that it has always had the potential for growth that was unable to be tapped, although many of these households are likely to become in future trades, or give rise to vertical integration process, present in many parts of the city.
