Considerações sobre a questão da vulnerabilidade ambiental na cidade de Corumbá-MS

Abstract

The housing defcit is one of the big problems faced by residents in Corumbá-MS, and the physical conditions of the city are that limits and compromises urban sprawl and the stabilishment of new areas for housing construction. In this sense, study and research on structure and enviromental vulnerability of the city are esse ntial to contribute to the public authorities decision making process in the search fo r an appropriate interaction between human being and enviroment. That way, this paper is about the present enviromental vulnerability inCorumbá-MS and has it's main goal on presentation and analysis of these areas, witch are scatered thougho ut the city and were previously classifyed by Pereira and Pereira (2011). Procedure was, therefore, to further study of areas with environmental vulnerability , to produce thematic maps of the location of these areas within the city,in the end, diagnose and assess the main impacts that the occupation of unsuitable areas can bring to the population, that is generally unaware of the problem that they create fo r themselves. The map of environmental vulnerability combined with the analysis from field survey, was established as an important suporting tool to urban planning and serves as subsidy for the rational use of urban land use, as well as for the conservation of perm3anent preservation areas of the city that are ignored today.
