Os critérios do estudo de impacto de vizinhança como subsídio para a escolha de terrenos de uso agroindustrial

Abstract

The Study of Neighborhood Impact (SNI) is a support tool for urban planing and management developed in Brazil, established by the Estatuto da Cidade, Lei 10.257, which aims to assess the influence that the construction of projects has on the environment where they are implemented. In this work, a tool was developed for supporting the choice of land for agro-industrial use based on the criteria listed in the SNI. The tool proposes 6 steps for choosing the most appropriate land: establishing the premises of the project, identifying the land available for choice, identifying the criteria for choosing land based on the main impacts coming from the nature of the project, evaluating the criteria identified based on data and photographic portfolio of the available lands with the aid of geoprocessing software, assigning notes to the lands based on the established criteria within the Likert scale, considering and aggregate the data to obtain results, and consequently choose the best land. After defining the tool, it was applied to a case study to choose the most suitable land for the implementation of an agro-industry for processing rice grains the city of Nova Palma, RS. In this case, the most important criteria identified were land use and occupation, traffic generation, and pollution; with the first one being the most important in the final result. A valuable conclusion of this work was the possibility of using an urban management and planning tool as a subsidy for the choice of land for the implementation of agro-industries in rural areas. Furthermore, the proposed methodology proved to be easy to use and have good applicability, since it could be successfully implemented in a real project at the city of Nova Palma.
