O desenvolvimento urbano sustentável enquanto perspectiva teórico-jurídica presente no plano diretor de Barreirinhas-MA

Abstract

This study analyzes the Master Plan of Barreirinhas-MA, aiming to evaluate its alignment with the principles of sustainable urban development. The research contextualizes the growing importance of Barreirinhas in the national tourism landscape, highlighting the relevance of urban planning in balancing economic growth with environmental preservation. The research was conducted using a qualitative and quantitative approach, including document analysis of the Master Plan, literature review, and a case study. The results indicate that although the Master Plan presents guidelines that reflect concerns with sustainability, there are significant gaps in its implementation due to challenges such as inadequate solid waste management, basic sanitation, lack of oversight, and real estate speculation. The study concludes that to achieve truly sustainable development, Barreirinhas needs a revision and update of the Master Plan, integrating strategies that promote balanced urbanization, respecting both the environment and the socio-economic needs of the local population
