Proposta de drenagem superficial como fator determinante na redução de riscos em assentamentos precários em encostas no município de Juiz de Fora

Abstract

Given that much of the world's population lives in geologically unfavorable areas and devoid of any planning, this dissertation presents a research whose theme is current and highly relevant in the urban context. This fact has been and continues to be determined by the rapid growth of urbanization together with the lack of control and planning appropriate to the use of urban land. The main objective of this work is to propose alternatives for the management of stormwater at risk communities, established in slums located in areas with poor infrastructure and degraded environment, contributing to the community risk reduction. The methodology applied is initially based on a multidisciplinary literature review, which explores the historical background, training, nature, relationships, social and political values, concepts, the risks of natural disasters. Secondly, and based on the theoretical concepts of technical solutions for surface drainage of rainwater and the theoretical conditions that validate these solutions was applied a new methodology by developing a tailored decision matrix methodology for product development. By selecting product concepts, the sum of the values adopted for the constraints of decision matrix determined the product or set of products which can be applied in the management of rainwater on steep slopes. After the identification of viable solutions, an intervention proposition in a specific location was drawn up, taking as a basis for selection of the region, the data of risk degree of areas to mudslides determined by the Civil Defence Secretariat of the municipality.
