Utilização de metodologias participativas na construção do diagnóstico e prognóstico da ZEIS Bom Jardim, Fortaleza, Ceará.

Abstract

The phenomenon of socio-spatial inequality has a direct impact on the quality of public services and urban infrastructure the peripheral sectors within the city, making it possible to use participatory methodologies for territorial planning of urban space. Based on this, the present work had as its general objective to use participatory methodologies, such as the SWOT Matrix and Social Cartography, to point out the potentialities, problems and proposals to the Special Zone of Social Interest Bom Jardim, Fortaleza-CE, and then, generate a diagnostic and a prognostic to the construction of its Integrated Land Regularization Plan. The qualitative methodological procedures that use the participatory research and action research aspects were built in two great moments, field works (workshops and collection of points) and cabinet work (digitization and vectorization). From this, the most discussed and addressed issues in the context of Zone of Bom Jardim are related to the inefficiency of urban infrastructure, especially in relation to drainage and sanitation, the poor quality or absence of basic public services and the issue of urban violence. The SWOT Matrix proved to be a fundamental instrument for the collection of information and its systematization into strengths (potentialities), opportunities (proposals for improvement), weaknesses (problematic) and threats (extension of problematic). In the same way that Social Cartography presented itself as a dynamic and intuitive tool capable of distributing and spatializing these elements mentioned in the SWOT Matrix, demonstrating the reality of the agents acting in this urban space, and serving as a basis for the construction of the Integrated Land Regularization Plan of this Zone.
