Configuração de comunidade sustentável no Residencial Pequis: o uso do tempo associado à qualidade de vida

Abstract

Historically, the biggest highlight of Brazil’s cities growth phenomenon occurred parallel to the context of industrialization that happened in the country, witch where the metropoles began to concentrate the largest financial capital and attract a larger population. Between the 70’s and the 90’s, although marked the consolidation of large urban centers, also exposed the rearrangement of the city system that occurred in Brazil, where average cities played a key role to increase the dynamism of the territory. Some factors, such as investment attraction policy for other regions of the country and the development of an agro industrial complex, are examples which demonstrate the intermediate range between the metropole, or at least a big city, with the new urban center, the average city. The process of attracting clusters is variable to the intensity of the spatial relations that occur in the interior of the interlândia that the average city is inserted, in the case of Uberlândia, the population growth and the dilatation of the urban perimeter went through transformations of the field and its modernization, just like its geographic position which allowed it to be placed in other economic functions. Yet, over the years, the city of Uberlândia accumulated the peripheralization of its regions, influenced more and more by the way of production of the space associated with associated with market ideology and real estate capitalism. The specific case of this study, the Recidencial Pequis, from the Minha Casa Minha Vida program, is the demonstration of ratification of the creation process of new peripheries, being an enterprise devoid of infrastructure and apart from the city, reinforcing the center-periphery hierarchy. In this context, is sought in this research to balance and develop quality of life of the population that lives at this enterprise, enjoying the concept of sustainable community, because like that is possible to find a presupposition about integration strategies at the local scale. The study is about the use of family time as a key instrument to assess the quality of life standard and understand the relationship of these people with the territory resulting in the development of a new scenario based on the seven components approach established by Egan, which are: social and cultural, housing and built environment, economy, environment, services, transport and connectivity, and governance. However, it is important that the concept is not an inflexible model that operates under the generalization of actions ignoring the particularity of the city and place of study, for this hypothesis is that it is understood as fundamental the use of Strategic Planning to understand the scenarios necessary for the formulation of suitable proposals for the remodeling of the structure of the Residencial Pequis, from the knowledge of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that guide the local enterprise. This study has three parts, the first addresses the theoretical reflections about the relevant concepts and the process of contextualization; the second part refers to the survey of indicators, of the residential, on the seven dimensions established by Egan; the third part comprises the interpretation of the pattern of the use of family time and finally.
