O direito ao meio ambiente equilibrado e a criação de espaços públicos para regrar a polução sonora veicular

Abstract

Environmental pollution has been increasingly present in people's lives in many ways, from the most obvious to the most obscure. Rampant production of noise is one of the forms of pollution that seriously affects people's quality of life. Sound pollution is a form of pollution that causes an impact in a way that few realize. Firstly, because its damages are not perceptible, because it is not recognized by the courts as environmental pollution, and because it does not receive the necessary attention from the public bodies that should act in its containment. One of the forms of noise pollution that is most present in people's lives, due to the process of evolution of technology and also because of the hyperconsumismo that is observed today, is the vehicular noise pollution, produced through sound equipment installed in motor vehicles . This form of noise propagation is perceived in an increasingly broader way in the urban environment, if it shows a very present propagating medium of noise of the modern society. Since it has a regulation that leaves the field of environmental law, it does not receive the correct service. in addition, what is observed are the municipal laws leaving to regulate this important subject, that ends directly affect the quality of life of the citizens. The city master plans regulate land subdivision and land use patterns, but they do not address the need to zonate areas of greatest impact from noise pollution and provide sites that are capable of receiving certain types of typical and common activities of modern society , such as the noise pollution of sound equipment of motor vehicles, thus leading to noise production by these equipments. This paper discusses problems related to vehicular noise pollution, starting from the study of legislation on the subject, addressing judicial decisions through quantitative and qualitative research of jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of Rio Grande do Sul, and why it is so present in society Modern. Through the hypothetical deductive method and the bibliographical and documentary research, it will be analyzed also the policies adopted in the city of Caxias do Sul, some policies adopted in other countries, showing how the city of Lisbon, in Portugal, dealt with the subject in an efficient way , and how urban law could be one of the forms of containment of this type of noise pollution that affects the quality of life of society.
