Sustentabilidade urbana: análise dos bairros de Aragarças – GO através dos atributos do urbanismo sustentável

Abstract

Sustainable urban development is increasingly relevant for cities, aiming to harmonize economic and social growth with environmental preservation and improving the quality of life of inhabitants. This study aims to evaluate the main attributes related to urban sustainability in the city of Aragarças – GO. The present work adopts a qualitative-quantitative approach and analyzes five sustainable attributes, the definition which refers to the size of neighborhoods, completeness, which is characterized as the diversity of land occupation, compactness which refers to the amount of empty areas in urban land, connectivity, which discusses the neighborhoods' access to public transport and biophilia, which refers to the neighborhoods' vegetation cover. This analysis allowed the identification of both the positive points and the challenges faced by the city in search of more sustainable development. Through the results obtained, it is possible to highlight connectivity as a strong point, since most neighborhoods in the city have access to public transport. Furthermore, biophilia stands out, showing good vegetation coverage in the city, especially in areas close to Rio. However, a challenge arises, indicating that the diversity of land use does not fully meet the needs of residents. This may require the population to move to other urban centers in order to meet their basic needs. Therefore, recommendations and guidelines were proposed to the public authorities, covering improvements in infrastructure, urban mobility, creation of green areas and quality of public space.
