Implantação de um parque linear : um estudo de caso na cidade de Sabará e suas implicações no entorno

Abstract

The project is justified by being a proposal to transform the space, seeking environmental quality, problem solutions and innovations for the environment. It aims to verify how the implementation of a linear park could occur, observing environmental issues, but preserving the cultural values. Analyzing the Sabará river through the observation of a project that proposes the implantation of a linear park in the surroundings of that river, located in the central portion of the municipality of Sabará. When implementing a linear park, what is the impact brought to the local community, what is the new conformation of urban design, will the changes be able to assist the local demands? The methodological procedures to be used in this research, are based on studies of the theoretical framework related to the theme. In addition, in the analysis of project proposals and urban design that generate new solutions for space and data on the population around the Sabará River, observing possible advantages or disadvantages arising from the implementation of a linear park. The elements that generate leisure in the surroundings of the linear park are composed by nature, together with the implementation of vegetation, such as a hiking trail, a bike path, as well as skateboards and skating rinks. Within the study focused on the surroundings of urban environments, with the presence of streams, there is the study of transport. In this context, the implementation of the light rail vehicle was planned, also present in the hinterland of the Cariri, interconnecting different municipalities with efficiency, low cost and comfort. And in the case of the city of Sabará which has a history, the capture of energy by the light rail could occur through the tracks, associated with the capture of solar energy. And with the implantation of the grassy bed, inspired by the light rail present in France, which would fit in the dynamics of revegetation, proposed by the implantation of the linear park. An interesting environmental alternative for areas that receive floods is the wetlands, it is a natural designed environment, known as humid land in which an artificial water mirror is created with aquatic plants. There are also rain gardens, which are spaces with a permeable area, implemented in urban areas, along roads or in squares. The linear park in addition to promoting environmental improvement and increasing the centralities of the surroundings provides leisure spaces for the population of the area, spaces that make coexisting with the river inviting, and within this perspective, some authors argue that when planning cities, its not interesting the common idea of channeling rivers and, in some points, covering them, with routes that pass over them. The implementation of a linear park is an appropriate measure for urban areas, close to river valleys, since it encompasses the environment and seeks to provide coexistence with the space susceptible to flooding. Likewise, it permeates social, economic and cultural spheres. An interesting study applied to this type of context is the recovery of the physical environment from its insertion.
