Previous issue date: 2006-08-30 / Natal is a medium-sized coastal city (800.000 inhabitants), capital of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, in the Northeast of Brazil. According to statistics published by the IBGE (2000), the area of Natal that stretches from Redinha to Lagoa Azul holds about 12% of the municipal population. Part of this area is bordered by a watercourse, the Rio Doce, which has been afflicted by a range of socio-environmental problems over the years. This study was carried out with the aims of 1) identifying the socio-environmental processes related to urban expansion, with an emphasis on those causing environmental degradation in this region; b) analysing the perception of the target population in relation to the environment it occupies; and c) determining the socioeconomic profile of the local residents and the sanitary facilities available to them. A survey was carried out by conducting interviews and completing questionnaires with the residents to assess the situation both qualitatively and quantitatively in the communities of Caiana, Pajussara S?tio, Gramor? Povoado and Gramor? S?tio, as well as by conducting bibliographical and documentary research. It was discovered that the sanitary conditions of the riverside dwellers are precarious and only 1% of the houses in the suburbs mentioned are connected to the public sewers. It was established that the Rio Doce is intensively exploited through the extraction of sand for the building trade, irrigation of riverside vegetable plots and use of the water for bathing, washing of clothes and leisure. It was also found that about 40% of the population resident in this area has migrated from the rural zone, which is one of the factors rendering it difficult for them to adapt to the urban setting. Such information can be of use to the authorities in the environmental planning of these districts and their sustainable development / A faixa urbana que se estende do bairro da Redinha ao bairro de Lagoa Azul, concentra cerca de 12% da popula??o do munic?pio do Natal/RN (800.000 habitantes), segundo dados do IBGE(2000). Parte dessa extens?o ? margeada pelo Rio Doce, curso de ?gua que tem sido alvo de graves problemas s?cio-ambientais. O estudo foi realizado de forma a identificar/conhecer os processos s?cio-ambientais relacionados ? expans?o urbana, destacando as situa??es de degrada??o ambiental naquela regi?o; observar/analisar a percep??o do p?blico alvo em rela??o ao ambiente que ocupa; tra?ar o perfil s?cio-econ?mico dos agentes antr?picos ali residentes, concomitante ao levantamento das condi??es de saneamento b?sico da popula??o local. Atrav?s do m?todo quantitativo-qualitativo de investiga??o desenvolveu-se este trabalho, utilizando-se t?cnicas de entrevistas com formul?rios aplicados ?s comunidades Caiana, Pajussara S?tio, Gramor? Povoado e Gramor? S?tio, al?m de levantamentos bibliogr?fico e documental. As condi??es de saneamento b?sico nas comunidades ribeirinhas s?o prec?rias. Apenas 1% dos bairros supracitados apresenta esgotamento sanit?rio. Foram constatados altos ?ndices de explora??o do Rio Doce pela retirada de areia destinada ? constru??o civil, utiliza??o da ?gua para banho, lavagem de roupas, irriga??o de hortas instaladas ?s margens do rio e lazer. Verificou-se ainda que, cerca de 40% da popula??o a? residente ? origin?ria do interior do Estado, um dos fatores que compromete sua inser??o no ambiente urbano. Tais informa??es podem servir de subs?dio ao planejamento urban?stico-ambiental daquelas comunidades e ao seu desenvolvimento local sustent?vel
