Análise da qualidade ambiental urbana de Ângulo-PR

Abstract

Disorganized urban sprawl causes changes to the environment, be it landscape change, environmental consequences, and disgraceful housing situations. Therefore, adequate planning of the landscape is fundamental for improvements and structural organization of a municipality as a theoretical-methodological tool. The analysis of landscape planning and the study of urban environmental quality are potential areas for the performance of an Environmental Engineer, if it is a municipal urban management tool. In order not to lack access to basic rights to the population and the development of the environment in agreement with the conservation of nature in the urban environment, this study aimed to analyze the environmental quality of the city of Angulo - PR. The methodology involved the application of environmental indicators provided by the Sustainable Cities Program, which were divided into two groups: land cover and basic sanitation. For this, the data were obtained through studies of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (2010), SNIS (2016) and city hall. For land cover, data were obtained from satellite images of SASPlanet and mapped with free software QGIS 3.6. The application of the indicators allowed the elaboration of three maps: division of census tracts, land cover and basic sanitation. From the analysis of the maps, data and information, the results showed that the city presents classes of land cover that contributes positively to the urban environmental quality, but the amount of soil exposed damages this situation. As for the sanitation indicator, the city is deficient in relation to infrastructure, demonstrating the need for investments and attention. Despite this lack, the environmental quality level of Angle was considered as good, mainly due to the spaces with presence of vegetation cover and the expressive presence of buildings of up to 4 floors with more than 20% of vegetation.
