O uso de Sistema de Informação Geográfica para análise do direito à cidade em Lavras-MG

Abstract

Life happens in cities, in the sense that, all the needs of citizens are given and are satiated in them. However, there is a disorganization of the territory, mainly due to the rapid and intense urbanization process, which has not been able to meet the needs of its citizens in a satisfactory and equitable way. How does the local public administration act to contribute to repairs to such damages? How do the places where the policies meet or do they hamper citizens' access to public services? To answer these questions, the objective of this work is to analyze how citizens guarantee their right to the city through access to public facilities and public transportation in the urban area of the municipality of Lavras-MG. Thus, it was decided to carry out a qualitative and quantitative study of descriptive-exploratory nature. It can be seen, when analyzing the results obtained, that there are areas in the municipality with a greater proportion of public facilities than others. Also, there are deficits in the existence of the equipments in relation to the priority publics and also the access of the bus lines to certain equipment, pointing out a necessity of better structuring of the bus routes, together with the creation and / or modification of the location of certain equipment for priority publics.
