Agony in the Itacorubi neighborhood/ Florianópolis / SC: chronicles of an announced death

Abstract

This study aims to know the particularities of zoning changes in the Itacorubi neighborhood, since it was the district of the Headquarters District that suffered the most zoning changes since the approval of Law 001/1997 until 2010. One of the objectives of this research is to demonstrate that the changes proposals in the Master Plan alone, although legal, can influence and harm the overall Plan. Another objective is to demonstrate the unfolding of political actions in the urban layout of the city, which privileges a few to the detriment of public uses and greater interest of the local society. The methodology adopted combined archival research techniques - especially the archives of Florianópolis city hall and field survey in the neighborhood, as well as analysis of the mapping of changes and; bibliographic review on the Master Plans, public policies, urban planning and urban legislation.
