Proposta de aplicação de tecnologia social em habitações de interesse social na Amazônia

Abstract

The construction and demand for social housing has increased considerably in Brazil and government housing programs, such as the Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida (PMCMV), have been implemented to provide this type of housing, however they have not been delivered within the expected time frame. the United Nations, UN-Habitat, establishes it as adequate housing. The concept of healthy housing directs social technologies to be used to achieve the parameters indicated in UN-Habitat, especially with regard to basic sanitation. In this sense, the objective of this research is to propose the adoption of social technologies in social housing, with the aim of providing healthy housing for the residents who live there. The area for this study considered the spatial outline of housing complexes: Residencial Beira Rio and Residencial Viver Melhor located in the Metropolitan Region of Belém (RMB), in the State of Pará, and field visits, photographic records and water collections were carried out in them, aiming to obtain detailed information and understand the local reality conditions of these homes. The results revealed similarities in the two residences studied, both in positive aspects, such as paving, location, presence of green and leisure spaces, and in negative elements, such as thermal discomfort, greater need for accessibility, maintenance of spaces, solid waste management and of water quality. The proposed social technologies, such as the Evapotranspiration Tank (TEVAP) plus the Banana Tree Circle and the “Solar Decathlon Project” can be crucial for improving housing in these residences. It is concluded that the adoption of the concept of healthy housing in social housing is a multifaceted issue and demands coordinated actions at different levels. The use of social technologies in this context will be fundamental in promoting decent and affordable housing, enabling better living conditions, health and environmental sustainability.
