Avaliação de inserção urbana: o caso do Residencial Village de Prata em Natal/RN

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis consists in an evaluation proposal of urban integration for the Residencial Village de Prata (RVP), considering the urban infrastructure and public services offer existing in Planalto, and Guarapes, neighborhoods that compound the research universe. The RVP is a social interest housing partially inaugurated in march 2018, located between the frontiers of Guarapes, and Planalto, west side of Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte. Compounded by 8 condominiums with 1.792 apartments total, it is destinated to the low incoming population that, in a large part, came from informal settlements, and its defrayment is made by the Minha Casa, Minha Vida governmental program. One of the main criticisms made about the Minha Casa, Minha Vida is the wide choice for urban integrations in peripheric areas of cities which are neglected by the public assistances, repeatedly producing negative social effects. Therefore, the research objective is to qualify the offer of urban facilities related to healthcare, education, social assistance, sport practice, leisure, culture, and public transportation, examining the socio spatial context and the urban mobility conditions in the locality. The chosen methodology was the application of parameters defined by the Ministério das Cidades (2017) in a publication addressed to the public management, who develop the urban integration of MCMV housing. It also considers the socio spatial frame of Planalto, and Guarapes neighborhoods, and the majoritarian profile of a residents sample who already live in the RVP as well. The result of the evaluation indicated lack of urban facilities and public transportation services.
