A problemática das inundações e alagamentos nos bairros da Redenção e Coroado em São Luís: uma análise a partir da segregação urbana

Abstract

The irregularity in the Brazilian urban occupation was enabling many individuals to settle in areas of housing inadequacy and of little interest to the real estate market, generating over the years the emergence of harmful phenomena such as flooding and flooding. Therefore, this work sought to analyze the periodic occurrence of these processes in the neighborhoods of Redenção and Coroado, located on the outskirts of São Luís, taking into account the months of the year where precipitation values reach the highest rates. In addition, the objective was to discuss how the consequent impacts affect the quality of life of the residents who live there. For this, bibliographic surveys were considered from the perspective of socio-spatial segregation that occurred in the formation of the city and the selection of points in the field that evidenced three major issues: inefficiency in the drainage network, occupation in marginal areas to watercourses and incorrect disposal of solid waste. Added to this was the treatment of rainfall data, cartographic data regarding the hydrographic basin of the region and also the application of a form where it was possible to verify the understanding of the residents regarding the irregular emergence of such areas, the negative evaluation about the drainage devices present in these areas, as well as the discontent of the population with the absence of public policies aimed at solving or minimizing the impacts caused by these phenomena
