Abstract

As a way to test this actual scenario and the prospects of sustainable development to the natural resources of cearense capital it was tested the New Director Plan of Fortaleza like an instrument of sustainable drainage and enhancement urban vegetation, from the case study applied in the Watershed B-5 where, today it is one of the most dynamic areas to the building market of Fortaleza. This evaluation occurred since a large bibliographic revision about the management of drainage and urban vegetations and of the main legal references of urban planning of Fortaleza, including the Work and Posture Code and the Land Use and Occupation law. As a way to show perceptions and actions of the community, it was applied a questionnaire to the residents in Watershed B-5 area. The obtained results demonstrated the shortage of a major pro activity by the public power in ensure the law enforcement and ensuring that the same is appropriate to the urban environment dynamism. On the other hand, the community should valorize the natural resources instead of searching the particular comfort and recognizing that the individual actions form the collective scenario in the cities. The progressive lost of the water resources and the urban vegetation that occurred during Fortaleza history, unfortunately didn’t finish yet and despite of the uncountable advances the last years with the deployment of a more correct environmental posture by the public power side and the general society, there is still a disorderly land occupation process that commits the sustainability of these areas
