O CHÃO DO SERTÃO EM TRANSFORMAÇÃO: PLANO DIRETOR E DILEMAS INTRAURBANOS - UM FOCO DE ANÁLISE EM PICOS/PI

Abstract

An extensive agenda of academic researches, in the past few years, has been formed in Brazil, concerned about the urban management in cities located out of the metropolitan frames, mainly the northeastern ones, in direct regional urban dynamism. About them, the debates have questioned their future, from the existence and execution of their directive plans. In this context, Picos (PI), stands out, because regarding its strong spatial interactions and its quality as functional urban area, in Sertoes of Piaui, there have been in the intra-urban strong transformations, which the directive plan cannot handle regulating, nor the induction of its development. Therefore, this article aims at analyzing the urban dynamism of Picos (PI) based on the legal characteristics of the directive plan and the law of uses of the municipal soil, regarding the conceptions for the location and spatialization of the economic activities in the city, including in the non-central urban area. Methodologically, it was used a qualitative approach, based on selection, interpretation, and technical analysis of legal documents of the municipality of Picos (PI): current Directive Plan and municipal Law of the Use of Soil. What results from this is the observation that the laws analyzed have many shortcomings with the organicity of the city. Besides, they do not meet the current demands in the intra-urban context.
