Os condomínios fechados e a segregação espacial em São Luís: uma análise urbanística na região do Anil

Abstract

The present work proposes an urban analysis in the region of Anil in view of the implementation of condominiums and the impacts caused by these to the pre- established neighborhoods. The urban configuration of this new residential compound exposes the occurrence of a phenomenon known as spatial segregation, which implies in several problems for that area. It is necessary, in this way, to show urban segregation as a common fact nationally and locally, in view of the influences of the real estate market for the expansion of these housing typology in São Luís - MA and its consequences to the city. It is a descriptive research, with a qualitative and quantitative character and was divided into 03 stages: Theoretical Foundation, Field Research and Data Analysis. Some methods applied in POE (Post-Occupancy Evaluation) were used, as well as visual records, observation of activities, interviews to gauge user satisfaction, etc. Therefore, it can be seen that there is a complete lack of integration between the neighborhoods in the region worked on, especially between closed condominiums and the Pirapora neighborhood, in addition to the great underutilization of existing public spaces. Therefore, explaining these issues and highlighting this case among so many others in the capital of Maranhão state can be fundamental to bring light to the guidelines related to the production of urban space and the importance of debating them, as well as providing the necessary information for an eventual urban intervention in the mentioned region.
