Avaliação da qualidade ambiental urbana do setor central da cidade de Uberlândia - MG

Favoritar este trabalho

The growth of the world population in cities demands territory planning, searching for better environmental quality and ultimately, life quality. The central sector of the city of “Uberlândia” is shown as a promising area of study since the research problem becomes clear when asked what the environmental quality level found, since what is seen is the lack of information, compelling data and joint procedures regarding the analysis of this and the resolution of recurring environmental problems caused by different sources, which are hardly solved due to the cross-sectional analysis and often without taking into account the local attributes. With specific objectives to create an Environmental Urban Quality index, to map this index, and suggest measures that can improve it and how they could be made, the methodology involves the stages of creation and valuation of indicators (sanitation, vegetation coverage, green areas, historical and cultural heritage, flood areas and population density), generation of maps, map algebra and use the plug-in “Easy AHP” from “Qgis” software, which will result in an index and its representation in the final statement of urban environmental quality map. Thus, the expected results are as follows: find an urban environmental quality only regular from the indicators used due to factors such as inefficient environmental sanitation, low incidence of vegetation cover and green areas in the sector etc. It is expected that the results may encourage the integrated use of this index for remediation of low quality sites and planning for new areas occupation.
