Estudo dos riscos geológicos na região do município de Santa Maria: o caso da Vila Billbiu
Year: 1997
Type: article
Abstract: The density of urban population with socio-spacial segregation in its most different manifestations on the use and occupation of the natural space, associated to an intensive exploitation of the environment and of the real estate speculation, determines the occupation of inadequate place dwellings by the less favoured social layers. Santa Maria city doesn't escape from this juncture, with Bilibiu village as the place where man and nature conflicts are intensified. In this region earthflows and debris flows occur on the steep areas; on the Vacacaí-Mirim river brook nearest areas the most important event is the flood. Besides this fact, the garbage accumulation in inadequate places and the pluvial and the sewer wastewater treatment are diseases and harmful animals dissemination sources.
