Estudo de impacto de vizinhança e estudo de impacto ambiental: imprescindibilidade jurídica de ambos

Abstract

The constant development of cities implies continuous evolution of society, which promotes significant changes in interpersonal relations and between individuals and the State. Thus, the modern large cities go beyond the problems, such as pollution, chaotic traffic, poor quality of public service delivery, inefficiency of public transportation, neighborhood issues, among others. Therefore, it is essential that citizens' rights are preserved. The path to such a guarantee is the intrinsic relationship between the Urban Law and Environmental Law. In order to secure these rights, the 1988 Constitution and the legislation provides for the institutes of Neighborhood Impact Study (NIS) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in order to analyze the feasibility of implementation of works or activities certain areas, generating an increase in quality of life. This study, therefore, aims to understand the aforementioned studies in the light of the law as well as the possibility of compatibility between them so that the State can produce effective rights to its citizens.
