URBAN EXPANSION IN THE RIDE OF THE GRANDE TERESINA: METROPOLIZATION AND INTRAMETROPOLITAN DYNAMICS
Urban expansion. Housing policies. IDR of the Great Teresina.
This research aims to contribute to the discussion of the theme of the urban expansion in urban complexes and the Brazilian housing policy Minha Casa, Minha Vida program (PMCMV). Thus, it approachs the production of the urban space in the perspective of the implantation of the housing policy of PMCMV in the band 1 of the Integrated Development Region of the Great Teresina (IDR). It starts from the premise that the localization of the housing complexes of PMCMV in the band 1 are inserted in peripheral locations and in urban fringes, and that it has been a stimulating factor for the emergence of the urban area expansion in that region. From this perspective, the starting question is: The Minha Casa, Minha Vida program in the band 1, has contributed to the urban expansion of the IDR of the Great Teresina? Thereby this research has as the study object the relationship between the phenomenon of the urban expansion as observed in the IDR of the Great Teresina and the locatization of the housing complexes of the PMCMV in the band 1. In this way, we propose as the main aim: to understand the phenomenon of the urban expansion in the IDR of the Great Teresina between 1999, 2009 and 2018, considering the analysis of the localization of the housing complexes of the PMCMV in the band 1. From this aim, the research was drawn based on the following specific objectives: (i) To caractherize the IDR of the Great Teresina; (ii) To identify and map the real estate development of the PMCMV in the IDR of the Great Teresina; (iii) To analyse the intensity of flows and commuting in the urban complexes in the DIR of the Great Teresina; (iv) To identify and map the diretions that relate to the expansion of the urban area, through the localization of the housing complexes of the PMCMV in the band 1. The methodology adopted was based in bibliographic research, collection of data from public organs, images of satelite and use of the softwares SPPS and ArcGis 10.5, under license of the Natal Nucleus of the Metropolis Observatory. The results point out to the influence of the housing complexes of the PMCMV in the band 1, as the elements that have directed and contributed to the urban expansion of the IDR of the Great Teresina. The relevance of this research is motivated by the shortage of studies regarding on this topic and on the region itself, as well as by the fact that the author believes that the results may have an influence on future researchs approaching the region, planning and implementation of public policies that may contribute to the urban and regional development of the IDR of the Great Teresina.
