AGRAVOS AMBIENTAIS EM ÁREAS DE PRESERVAÇÃO PERMANENTE A PARTIR DA OCUPAÇÃO URBANA.

Abstract

The occupation of land by the urban population has caused a reduction in vegetation cover. This expansion affects that are particularly fertile soil and rich, especially in Areas of Permanent Preservation (APPs). The relevance of the issues of population and sustainable cities is vital to the process of urban planning and environmental. The Brazilian environmental law demonstrates standards and criteria with regard to occupation of environmentally protected areas within the city. However, these laws are not being met regularly by states and municipalities, especially with regard to protection of water sources and water resources. This Dissertation aims to show the environmental problems in such areas as a result of irregular occupation of land that should be closely monitored by governmental agencies. The city can regulate activities that affect the community of its territory. The power of control of municipal buildings stems from the Federal Constitution, with grants power to direct city to promote the development of their territory to plan, monitor and the partial occupation of urban land. As a public policies in the area of environmental management, are the instruments of political control and, in addition to urban ecology involving the interaction between society and its landscape. This integration should coexist in interdisciplinary to be more sustainable. To plan a city, there must be an understanding of the relationships between citizens, agents regulators, government officials and entrepreneurs.
