Re(SIG)nificando a cidade: análise da capacidade de suporte ao adensamento em Campina Grande - PB.

Abstract

The city has been increasingly treated as a stage for economic relations and its space as a commodity, which generates an unequal distribution of resources, people and interests, a process also known as socio-spatial segregation. Therefore, this work aimed to understand the precedents and consequences of this process in the urban environment, discuss the importance of equal access to a well-structured city and, consequently, to similar opportunities, in addition to the construction of a methodology to obtain information about the support of infrastructure and urban equipment and carrying out a multi-credit analysis and GIS software and tools for the elaboration of a mapping of the capacity to support densification in different areas of the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba. This, related to data of other natures, should help researchers, planners and urban managers to understand urban dynamics and, using various available techniques, direct attention and investments to areas of greater social fragility, as well as promote the efficient use of the high support found in other areas. The final result of the work was acquired by crossing the various maps produced and the population density of each census sector.
