Avaliação de impactos e estratégias para mitigação em empreendimentos do Minha Casa Minha Vida na cidade de Uberlândia

Abstract

Brazil faces a housing deficit of approximately 5.8 million units (FJP, 2019) and, although the Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV) program has expanded access to housing, several developments exhibit low capacity to respond to environmental, social and building-related impacts throughout their life cycle, revealing performance and resilience gaps in Social Housing (HIS). This dissertation investigates resilience in HIS through Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE), aiming to analyse and improve the Impact Questionnaire (QI) and, simultaneously, to diagnose the main impacts perceived by residents. The instrument, structured into thematic modules, was applied to 106 dwellings in the Shopping Park and Pequis housing estates, located in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil, within a climatic context classified by ABNT NBR 15220-3:2024 as Bioclimatic Zone 3B (mixed and dry), which enabled the identification of vulnerabilities associated with thermal performance, construction pathologies, overlapping uses and socioeconomic conditions. Methodologically, this is an applied research, grounded in POE and in the guidelines of Design Science Research (DSR), which supported the successive refinement of the QI and the synthesis of the findings into a propositive artefact. The results show that the current version of the QI combines accessible language with analytical robustness, allowing comparative reading between housing developments and the identification of recurrent impact patterns. Based on this diagnosis, the booklet “Impact Mitigation Strategies for Users” was developed, systematizing mitigation actions at the scale of the dwelling and its immediate surroundings, and providing support for HIS residents, public managers and designers in the qualification of housing policies and design practices from a resilience perspective.
