Diagnóstico dos espaços verdes urbanos em Bacabal-MA.

Abstract

This work addressed the importance of Urban Green Spaces in cities to guarantee the wellbeing of the population and sustainable development. It was exposed that the lack of urban planning during the emergence of cities brings problems to this day, and that civil engineering, together with other areas of knowledge, can work to make cities spaces that provide quality of life for the population. An approach to the conceptual breadth of EVUs allowed choosing the Land Use and Coverage methodology as the best option to carry out the study in the city of Bacabal-MA. After researching municipal legislation, it was noted that the Master Plan has not been revised since its creation in 2006, which leads to a lack of concern on the part of management with sustainable urban planning in the city. With this information, the preparation of a general overview for the urban area began and a lack of georeferenced data on the urban perimeter, division of neighborhoods, preservation areas, among others, was noted, and from there it was verified the need to study EVUs on site. With the help of the MapBiomas Platform and IBGE census data, maps and statistics of urban perimeters, land use and coverage and urban green spaces were produced within this polygon. The results led to the urgency of implementing these spaces throughout the city, given that human occupation is quite significant in relation to EVUs, which are present in small areas of land, both in squares and other places of activity, and in unused areas. From these data, paths are opened for a more in-depth study of the city, in order to promote an incentive for urban planning that leads to the implementation of green infrastructures, with a radius of influence that serves the entire population, and that is in harmony with gray infrastructures, changing social well-being in the city.
