REQUALIFICAÇÃO URBANA: Implantação do Parque Linear Mutuca

Abstract

The present work is a proposal of urban requalification for implantation of a linear park in the city of Elói Mendes - MG. The choice of this theme was due to the state of degradation and neglect found throughout the watercourse of Ribeirão Jardim, which intersects the urban perimeter of the neighborhoods of Vila Colli, Vila Freitas, Jardim das Palmeiras and São Sebastião. Located along the Maria Pereira de Souza Street, the stream receives a large amount of residential sewage and high accumulation of undergrowth and garbage, creating a perfect habitat for insects, rodents and snakes, exposing the population to various health problems. The objective of the project is to rebuild the water channel, implanting sports, and leisure and culture areas, promoting social relations. In order to carry out the proposal, bibliographical research, field survey, data collection and research with local residents was carried out, resulting in a program of needs and implementation of a requalification project. It is concluded that the environmental, social and recreational quality of the studied perimeter is precarious, making the implementation of the park extremely important to improve the quality of life of the local population. The beauty of the landscape and the proximity of a park to its users is of extreme importance to integrate elements promoting the urban quality of the community
