Fundamentos legais e imapctos físicos, sociais, econômicos e ambientais da edificação de um grande empreendimento à comunidade de entorno : o caso do Barrashoppingsul

Abstract

Urban growth has led to changes in the natural environment as large developments are built to meet the demand of society for their needs and for seeking a better quality of life. However, insertion of the artificial environment in nature has changed the urban landscape and led to several consequences in law, both environmental and urban. Thus, this research aimed to check the impacts produced by the venture “Barra Shopping Sul” under physical, social, economic and environmental conditions in the surrounding community. The methodology considered the technical procedures of data collection in three ways: bibliographic, documentary and a questionnaire to the population of the area of influence. The number of the study participants was 384 (three hundred eighty-four), ensuring a margin of 95% reliability. The results show that although the public research has manifested in the sense that there are improvements, even in the occurrence of environmental impacts from construction of the project and demonstrating in a way, they are satisfied with modernity implemented, there is a lack of knowledge of thematic environment, more precisely to identify problems that interfere in any way the ecosystems in which they live. This makes them lack of a wider view of the issue and the facts that surround them daily. We conclude that human intervention in nature always causes impacts and that the awareness should lead men and the global planet, in which it has as primary point that is the Earth is everybody’s home and everyone has the duty to take care of it.
