Infraestrutura verde e instrumentos de planejamento ambiental municipal

Abstract

The urbanization process, which replaces natural systems, altering the landscape for the construction of cities, causes problems to the functioning of ecosystems and to the quality of people's lives. As an alternative to such impacts, the concept of a green infrastructure network emerges, a topic addressed by this research, considered the state of the art of ecological landscape planning. This system is composed of natural and semi-natural places interconnected with each other from rural areas to intra-urban spaces, organized in order to provide ecosystem services. The aim of the present research was to identify strategies for the elaboration of a planning at the municipal level of a green infrastructure network, having as a case study the Municipality of Osório/RS. To this end, the methodology adopted consisted of a review the regulations contained in the relevant planning instruments, through the use of the Worksheet for Review of Municipal Codes and Ordinances, developed by the Center for Watershed Protection. As a result, a mapping of the stages and application of the plans involved was developed, linked to nine planning categories related to the ten places that make up the typology of the green infrastructure network.
