TERRITORIAL PLANNING OF RURAL AREAS IN THE METROPOLITAN CONTEXT: THE CASE OF THE METROPOLITAN REGION OF GOIÂNIA

Abstract

The accelerated urban development model dissociated from a concern with socio-environmental planning for cities has accumulated different negative impacts that are difficult to mediate on land use and occupation in the urban-rural relationship. It would be incumbent on the Master Plan (PD) to present the directives and ordering of the territory, including the activities carried out in rural areas. However, the latent pressure for the expansion of the urban sprawl ignored the importance of rural areas. Considering this context, the objective of this reflection is to identify how rural areas are portrayed in the master plans and how this is reflected in the context of the expansion of the urban sprawl over the territory. The analysis considered the case of the Metropolitan Region of Goiânia (RMG). The methodology was based on the analysis of Master Plans and the use of geotechnologies for mapping the urban fabric. The results indicate the generic mention of guidelines on rural areas in the analyzed regulations and the growing expansion of the urban sprawl to the detriment of an integrated planning that considers rural areas from the perspective of sharing common use functions in the metropolitan context.
