Urban environmental diagnosis: projection of current and future scenarios

This study presents an urban environmental diagnosis of the Manoela Valadares neighborhood, located in the municipality of Afogados da Ingazeira, in the Pajeu Valley - PE, Brazil, based on land use and occupation and their implications for environmental balance. The methodology applied for the area analysis consists of data collection, organization using a SWOT matrix, graphical scenario projection, and proposal of development guidelines. The chosen neighborhood, with potential for growth, stands out for its high-end residential buildings, where rapid expansion is driven by economic growth, neglecting environmental, socio-physical, and infrastructural issues, causing minimizable negative impacts.
