A sustentabilidade socioambiental de um empreendimento de habitação de interesse social através da aplicação do Selo Casa Azul Caixa

Abstract

The housing issue history in Brazil shows that the lack of housing alternatives leads a portion of the low-income population to a process of risk habitability, prone to socio-environmental vulnerability. Thus, this research contributes to the contextualization of environmental degradation and its relation with civil construction. It deserves to be highlighted the Houses of Social Interest (HIS), the importance of more sustainable environments, and socio-environmental actions as an integration, social development and empowerment method of its residents. In this context, this study applied the methodology proposed by Selo Casa Azul certification in the Leonel Brizola habitation, located in the municipality of Santa Maria and destined to families classified as track one of the Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida (PMCMV). The objective of this study is to analyze, from the proposed methodology, the socioenvironmental development of the cited housing residents and to verify if this enterprise is capable of reaching the silver degree of the studied certification. For this purpose, the following steps were defined to achieve the proposed objectives: (a) visiting the enterprise and the responsible construction company; (b) verifying the synergy between the municipal regulations and the Selo Casa Azul criteria; (c) making a spatial contextualization, and; (d) concluding other phases described throughout this work. The results demonstrate the municipal legislation importance for achieving more sustainable and equitable settlements. It was also possible to perceive that one of the major impasses to reach the proposed gradation is the lack of informative and verifiable documentation by the construction company. Thus, it is concluded that government incentives for access to habitation contribute assiduously to the quantitative data reduction of the Brazilian housing problem, however, the qualitative one is not yet as careful.
