Análise espacial da desigualdade ambiental urbana na cidade de Xai - Xai

Abstract

This research project investigates urban environmental inequality in Xai-Xai, the capital of Gaza province, in a context marked by social exclusion and poverty. The research highlights the importance of environmental discussions, not only for their impacts, but also for their implications for quality of life and social reproduction. The main objective is to analyze the manifestations of urban environmental inequalities in Xai-Xai, where economic growth coexists with persistent poverty. The study seeks to characterize the socioeconomic and natural environment, map land use and cover, identify regional environmental disparities, and assess the significance of these inequalities. A mixed-methods approach, incorporating quantitative and qualitative research, will be employed, using bibliographic and documentary techniques. The mapping of urban environmental inequalities will be carried out in two phases: first, evaluating environmental quality in census sectors, and second, analyzing spatial disparities in the distribution of environmental quality indices. The expected results include the clear identification of urban environmental inequalities in Xai-Xai and the generation of data that can support public policies aimed at promoting social and environmental equity in the city(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
