Urban waters and socio-environmental dynamics in the Mamede Paes Mendonça and Marcela neighborhoods in Itabaiana/SE

Aguas urbanas y dinámicas socioambientales en los barrios Mamede Paes Mendonça y Marcela en Itabaiana/SE

Abstract

Urban expansion without accompanying sustainable planning is a hallmark of several Brazilian urban centers, as well as all the implications of this act. This article analyzes the impacts of the disorderly growth of the urban fabric of Itabaiana on nature, mainly with regard to water resources, focusing on the Mamede Paes Mendonça and Marcela neighborhoods. Based on this assumption, it is possible to reflect on the unbridled urban expansion, with a strong action of soil sealing, canalization of water bodies, inadequate use of urban drainage and inappropriate disposal of effluents. With such themes worked on, one can observe how the lack of environmental planning has victimized and still victimizes environmental health.
