Avaliação de obras de urbanização e requalificação: um estudo de caso dos impactos na comunidade do vicente pinzon em fortaleza.

Abstract

The Santa Terezinha Hill, located in the Vincent Pinzon neighborhood in Fortaleza - CE, underwent an intensive process of urbanization and disorderly occupation starting in the 1980s. This period resulted in a partial landslide in 2015, triggered by heavy rains. Subsequently, it underwent a comprehensive process of revitalization, requalification, and reurbanization, conducted by the Government of Ceará in collaboration with the Fortaleza City Hall, and was completed in 2018. The hill now features interlocking pavement squares, underground garbage bins, outdoor gyms, a playground, an amphitheater, two mini-soccer fields, a boardwalk, and new lighting. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the solutions implemented in the revitalization of Santa Terezinha Hill and to assess the satisfaction and perception of the population towards it. The research included bibliographic surveys on the area in question, as well as analyses of news, geological-geographical maps, and satellite images. Additionally, questionnaires were conducted to gather information about the current situation of the hill. Based on geographical, geological, and geotechnical parameters, the natural soil of the site was classified as fine sand, with low clay and silt content. The study also addresses the complete process of revitalizing Santa Terezinha Hill, which included techniques such as regrading, surface protection, construction of retaining walls, and the implementation of an adequate drainage system. These interventions significantly differ from the previous condition of the slope. Keywords: Revitalization. Evaluation. Containment works. Slum formation. Public Policies.
