A formação urbana da Vila Palmeira e seus impactos no ambiente

Abstract

This research analyzes the urban development process in Vila Palmeira, a small district lacated in the municipality of Tocantinópolis, in the state of Tocantins. The study investigates the issue based on a bibliography that covers urban issues and adequate treatment of the environment; reports collected from residents who followed important episodes of local development; and impressions originating from the author's experience as a resident of the village. It is a research with a descriptive qualitative approach that, in the end, after intersecting the essential elements for its elaboration, will demonstrate that local development occurred in a balanced way, passing through happy randomness marked by administrative disdain, all without compromising the current and future generations with regard to human dependence on natural resources. The research contributes to the problems of environmental impact and imbalance, encouraging its development even in small localities, demonstrating that the knowledge evoked to understand the phenomena is independent of place, because the world is interconnected.
