Cálculo de indicadores urbanos: parques e áreas verdes e legislação urbanística

Abstract

With the disorderly growth of cities and urban sprawl, problems such as the lack of environmental preservation areas, the increase in the car fleet and deforestation accommodate people's lives, which makes sustainable urban mobility a topic of paramount importance for the city planning and management. Thus, urban indicators emerge as tools to assess aspects related to mobility and integrated planning. Management policies in maintaining environmental quality and compliance with urban legislation have the ability to improve general well-being. Given the above, it is noticeable the need to implement public policies for the management of urban space in the municipality of Jataí-GO. As a result, this research carried out the calculation of three indicators - parks and green areas, urban legislation and compliance with urban legislation - belonging to integrated planning, based on Costa's method (2008). The calculation of urban indicators and compliance with urban legislation brought expressive results for the municipality. With the calculated result of the parks and green areas indicator (5.75m²/inhabitant), it is noticeable that the municipality has a lack of public green spaces, below the minimum area recommended by the WHO of 12m²/inhabitant. However, the calculation of the indicators aims to make public policies more effective in the context of urban planning and transport, thinking about urban mobility in the economic, social and environmental sense.
