A zona costeira urbana brasileira: uma análise acerca da relação do homem com a natureza e da regulamentação em razão da função socioambiental

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze issues related to the urban coastal zone, analyzing the relationship between man and nature and the regulation resulting from the socio-environmental function. Therefore, we seek to analyze, above all, the formation of cities and the sustainability of occupations in the urban environment so that it is possible to transform the urban coastal zone into sustainable coastal cities. To define which legislation is applicable to the Brazilian urban coastal zone, both, the ones dealing with purely environmental matters and the ones specific to coastal management. To observe how zoning can be effective in the face of the current challenges faced in this area. Still, the goal is to understand the socio-environmental function as a determining factor for the regularization of the urban coastal zone, determining the use and occupation also in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Finally, we analyze the steady case of Praia Grande, in the municipality of Torres, where kiosks located on a class C urban beach are in the process of being demolished. The applied methods are hypothetical deductive and observational, with analysis of the environmental and urban legislation, as well as the doctrine, scientific articles, and jurisprudence corresponding to the urban coastal zone, therefore, the data analysis technique.
