Requalificação Urbana de Margens Fluviais: uma proposta de intervenção paisagística para a orla do Sá Viana

Abstract

The subject addressed in the present work refers to urban requalification, as an instrument to improve the living conditions of a population, through the valorization of public space inserted in river edges, which are located in a specific way, in areas of interest social. In this sense, the question proposed as the main problem to be addressed is the choice of a set of urban design and natural conservation strategies that can requalify the area under study. Which is located on a portion of the shore of Bacanga’s Lake, present in the Sá Viana neighborhood, in the municipality of São Luís, Maranhão. The objective, in correspondence to the postulated problem, concerns the development of an urban project aimed at the urban and landscape requalification of the studied space. Therefore, the work seeks to initially encourage theoretical discussions around the chosen theme. Subsequently, the research progresses in understanding the process of historical formation of the neighborhood and its current socio-environmental configuration through the reading of the existing landscape. Subsequently, interventions on waterfronts are cited that were used as project references for the final proposal. The project proposals developed, in this way, were the result of the sum of the steps described above together with the opinion survey regarding the space on the shore of the Lake, carried out during the work with a portion of the residents of Sá Viana. Finally, requalification proposals are presented, which, through the insertion of diversified uses, seek to recover the river landscape in order to reestablish the relationship between the community and the water body present in urban areas.
