Delimitação E Caracterização De Regiões De Planejamento Para A Área Urbana De Palmas A Partir Das Bacias Hidrográficas

Abstract

Hydrographic basins can be management and planning units that articulate with the landscape and make up the inhabited space. Since the beginning, human settlements sought among the attributes of the occupation site the availability of water, with rivers, lakes and seas being some of the elements in determining the process and form of occupation and construction of the landscape. Understanding how these relationships occur through the eyes of the urban watersheds of Palmas may assist in future actions and in the decision-making process, providing a characterization that helps in the identification of problems and potentialities as well as in the preservation, recovery and improvement of the environmental quality in the search of a more just and egalitarian city regarding the relationship of man with urban nature and its occupation process, also contributing to the delimitation of Planning Regions more consistent with the local reality in which the adoption and development of guidelines and policies become more effective and targeted at location. In this way, this work aims to define Planning Regions for the municipality of Palmas-TO based on the characteristics of urban watersheds taking into account environmental and socio-spatial aspects in their delimitations. For this purpose, it establishes a specialized bibliographic review dialoguing with the theories of applied territorial planning and management unit assisted with the use of GIS (Geographic Information System). From the treatment of spatial data from different sources, it can be seen that the hydrographic basins have characteristics that enable both the environmental and socio-spatial characteristics to determine planning regions more consistent with the space production process, enabling the verification of existing conflicts and guiding less generic and better located planning guidelines.
