Estudos e diretrizes urbanísticos para o Bairro São José em Cajazeiras - PB.

Abstract

Nowadays, the Urban Planning in Brazilian cities is a huge challenge because of the need to search a sustainable and integrated development, the diversity of uses is one of the ways to ensure the social function of property fixing accumulated problems due to the disordered structuring of Neighbourhoods and the failure of urban planning and management tools. Problems of structural and social nature rooted in the cities formation are reflected and aggravated by outdated laws and plans, which do not respond to the real needs of society, and they are applied, most often, throughout the urban grid such as it corresponds to a single spatial unit, without considering specificities of each location. The related work has the purpose of studying the problems faced in the intraurban scale neighbourhood, whilst observing the relationships between daily needs and uses, and infrastructure, spatial and environmental issues of the city. For urban studies, it was chosen São José Neighbourhood in CajazeirasPB, located between Cajazeiras downtown and UFCG, both polarizers of flows and sociospatial dynamics. This work aimed to propose guidelines of urban planning and regulation for future urban plan directed to São José Neighbourhood in CajazeirasPB which is currently a Special Zone of Social Interest (ZEIS), defined in Law 2.028/2012. By means of qualitative research and based on criteria and parameters used by the Ministry of Cities (2010), the Neighbourhood was divided into subareas according to their urban conditions and guidelines were suggested. It was concluded that urban planning and regulation were neglected in São José Neighbourhood which accumulated urban problems related to spatial configurations and precarious living conditions. These conditions are also striking throughout the territory of Cajazeiras, where the disconnection between planning, management and regulation determines the failure and poor efficiency of the scarce instruments of existing ordering of land use and occupation. In general lines, the guidelines indicate the readjusting of ZEIS perimeter, the allocation of basic sanitation infrastructure systems, rainwater drainage, garbage collection optimization, dwelling relocation and living improvement, among other proposals.
