Segregação residencial urbana e desafios socioambientais no conjunto habitacional pé do morro, Monte Alegre do Piauí

Abstract

The urban space in Monte Alegre do Piauí reflects the social and economic dynamics that affect the quality of life of residents, especially in the Pé do Morro Housing Complex. This study aimed to analyze the infrastructure conditions and the environmental and social impacts of urban segregation in the area. To this end, a descriptive and exploratory study was conducted with a quantitative and qualitative focus, using a detailed checklist to observe aspects such as basic sanitation, water supply and access to public services. Field visits, photographic captures, satellite images and consultation of municipal documents complemented the analysis. The results revealed the lack of a sewage network, irregular disposal of solid waste and deficiencies in garbage collection, exposing the population to health and environmental risks. The precarious water supply and the absence of urban drainage aggravate the situation, perpetuating social exclusion and public health problems. It is concluded that there is an urgent need for public policies that promote the universalization of basic sanitation and the improvement of living conditions in the region
