Urbans APP´s at Machado-MG municipalty among 2008 and 2020: analysis shed light over legislation aiming the territorial planning

Abstract

The growth of the human population constitutes a vector of pressure on natural areas. In order to
promote soil management, environmental legislation presents itself as a planning instrument, fixing the strip for
the Permanent Preservation Area (APP). When urban water APPs are inserted in a state Conservation Unit, the
set of different laws and standards designed to discipline land use, can generate conflicts of interpretation and hinder the achievement of the objectives for which they were created. In this work, we sought to understand the
laws that govern water APPs and the conservation of forest remnants inserted in the APA of the Machado RiverMG. Supported by hermeneutics referring to the current legislation, the case study was applied in Machado-MG
inserted in the state APA to understand the environmental impacts of urban growth in water APPs between the
years 2008 to 2020. The orientation of streets as a physical structure that collaborates with the protection of
APP's had been analyzed and was concluded that the set of rules and legislation associated with actors from
different spheres of government generates a complexity in their interpretation that undermine the effectiveness
legislation in protecting water APPs and that the orientation of streets as physical structures can collaborate to ensure the protection of natural areas in the urban context.
