Infraestrutura urbana sustentavel: impacto negativo da falta de calçamento e drenagem na rua João Lemos Paraguaçu no bairro Nova Corrente na cidade de Corrente-PI

Abstract

The lack of urban infrastructure, particularly regarding road paving and stormwater drainage systems, is one of the main factors responsible for the deterioration of urban mobility and environmental quality in Brazilian cities. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the paving and drainage conditions of João Lemos Paraguaçu Street, located in the Nova Corrente neighborhood, in the municipality of Corrente, Piauí, Brazil, identifying the main environmental and social impacts resulting from the absence of these infrastructure components. The research was conducted as an applied, descriptive case study with a qualitative approach, based on field visits, direct observation and photographic records collected during both the dry and rainy seasons. The results showed that the lack of pavement contributes to dust emission during the dry season, whereas the absence of drainage infrastructure leads to water accumulation and mud formation during the rainy season, impairing the mobility of pedestrians and vehicles and reducing the environmental quality of the study area. It is concluded that the implementation of integrated paving and stormwater drainage systems is essential to mitigate the identified impacts, improving urban infrastructure, environmental quality and the quality of life of the local population
