Orientador: Iandara Alves Mendes / Banca: Miguel César Sanches / Banca: Regina Célia de Oliveira / Resumo: O estudo teve por objetivo realizar um zoneamento ambiental no município de Ubatuba - SP, tendo como base definidor das áreas ambientais, as características geomorfológicas. Visando uma análise integrada foram correlacionados alguns elementos do meio antrópico. Para se chegar aos compartimentos do relevo e posteriormente das zonas ambientais, considerou-se num primeiro momento as grandes feições do relevo e num segundo momento, com uma escala maior de detalhes, as características geomorfológicas, desta forma chegou-se a quatro zonas (zonas I, II, III e IV) e 15 subzonas ambientais. Os elementos de ordem natural, principalmente os geomorfológicos influenciam a distribuição e composição das unidades, e que apesar das barreiras impostas pelo relevo, a ocupação do território se processa de forma a não considerar a suscetibilidade do relevo, principalmente nas áreas de fundo de vale e nas cotas acima de 100 m. / Abstract: The aim of the study was to conduct na environmental zoning in the municipality of Ubatuba, São Paulo state,using the geomorphological features as a basis to estabilish the envirommental areas. Aiming na integrated analisis, some features of the anthropic environment were correlated with the geomorphological features. To obtain the relief's compartments and ofterwards the environmental and ofterwards the environmental cone's compartiments were considered firstly the general features of the relief and secondly, with a more detailed scale, the geomorphological features. In this way I've obtained four environmetal zones ( I,II, III, and IV ) and 15 environmental subzones. The natural order elements, mainly the geomorphological ones, act in the distribution and composition on the compartiments and, despite the barriers imposed by the relief, the occupation of the territory occurus onregarding the susceptibility of the relief, maily in areas on valley bottoms and above areas at 100m in altitude. / Mestre

Rigid zoning by-laws that were a logical solution to land-use control in the North American social milieu resulted in an equally logical wish for more flexibility in land-use controls. Experiments resulting from this brought about various devices to make zoning more flexible in its application. One of these devices was zoning for comprehensively planned developments. The need to improve this zoning device is important because an increasing number of large-scale developments are built in our cities as they seem more suitable to modern living conditions than the single house on a single lot. In Vancouver, the city of the case study, such a zoning device for large-scale developments of mixed land-uses has existed since 1956 in the form of the CD-I district schedule. Since that time various criticisms have been levelled against it. These criticisms were collected in this paper and an attempt was made to rectify what was found at fault in the CD-I schedule. Means to rectify these faults were taken from planning experiences in Vancouver, B. C.; Canada, the United States and Great Britain. Several major solutions were found suitable as a result of this study. It was seen necessary to have a general development plan for the city before any rezoning to CD-I projects should be allowed. Without such a plan it would not be possible to assess the impact of each development, and rezoning decisions would, as a result, be very arbitrary. A general development plan does not exist in Vancouver. A further fault was found in the absence of any guide-lines in the CD-I schedule. Developers, property owners, planners and City Council cannot properly assess what constitutes a proper CD-I project without them. Much misuse of the CD-I schedule results from this. Suggestions to rectify these misuses are to clarify the objectives of CD-I zones. Out of these objectives certain standards should be set in respect to land parcel sizes, requirement of a minimum of two land-uses, completion dates of the project, placing of performance bonds for fulfilment of imposed conditions and others. It was also suggested that a clause be inserted in the existing zoning schedules which would permit comprehensively planned developments of a similar land-use as in the respective schedules. Because the CD-I schedule leaves much discretionary power to civic officials, certain needs to check these were also found to be important considerations. Suggestions were made to have each alderman record his reasoning for permitting a rezoning and to provide a cooling-off period after a public hearing before decisions were made. Finally, it was found that with the increasing complexity of planning a provincial review board of planning experts should be established to hear appeals of aggrieved citizens. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate
