Identificação das compatibilidades físico-ambientais e urbanísticas e definição de diretrizes para o uso e a ocupação do solo no distrito de jacumã, município do Conde- PB

Abstract

The constructions and reconstructions of urban spaces are not just a result of pressure pressing socio-economic system. They are also the result of ideological models on the "development" and "modernity" that are imposed on holders of power. Inserted in this problematics and going under strong pressure due to various ways of soil use and occupation, worldwide, the costal zones can be considered regions of contrast, constituting a privileged field, as well as a challenge in terms of different environmental management strategies. In this scenery, the urban and environmental plan represents an important tool of analysis and urban management. It is necessary an ecosystem approach, based on the principle of complexity, a holistic view of the city, in which all the elements, including the human societies, become part of a big net of relations. This academic study identifies, based on the present situation, the physical, environmental and legal compatibilities and incompatibilities, elaborating strategies for the use and occupation of soil in growing urban areas in the district of Jacumã, located in Conde city, state of Paraiba. Such analysis was performed taking into consideration a methodology proposed by McHarg (1972). As results, the research points to the extreme inefficiency and lack of basic infrastructure (water supply, sanitation, access to public transport, garbage collection and sites for leisure), and demonstrates serious environmental impacts related to uncontrolled urban expansion expressed in occupations in areas of environmental preservation. The creation of an indicator of environmental suitability in this study allowed the quantification and verification of a synthetic form of the incompatibility of current and future occupations. The procedures elaborated for such goal intend to contribute to the policies of sharing, use and occupation of soil as well as the urban strategies that rule those actions and that have an important role in conducting the cities in this process of sustainability.
