Índice de qualidade urbana do município de Uruguaiana – RS por análises de geoprocessamento

Abstract

In urban spaces there are several dynamic processes of territorial growth in line with urban spatial organization. This organization implies in perceiving the natural and structural elements for the study of alternatives for the harmonious arrangement of urban planning. In this research the following elements stand out: the vegetation cover, the degree of urbanization, the density of basic services offer and the demographic standards. The issue concerns the social vulnerability of the population for urban quality. The study area delimited corresponds to the urban perimeter of the city of Uruguaiana - RS. This delimitation obeys the limits of the urban census tracts classified by IBGE in the demographic census of the year 2010. The main objective was to understand the spatial-temporal arrangement of the urban quality of the urban perimeter of the city of Uruguaiana - RS, in view of the offer of basic services for the population of that city. The methodology includes the use of demographic data and orbital remote sensing data and processed in Geographic Information Systems - GIS through multicriteria analysis. The results indicate that the Airport district presented very low Urban Quality Index (IQU), but the Joquei Clube district characterized low IQU for one census and medium sector for another, and finally, the Santana and Centro neighborhoods qualify in their large part with high and very high IQU. These indicatives point to the need to rethink the urban space, so that those elements already presented with intermediate urban quality are not, over the next few years, incorporated into the bad extract.
