Intervenções públicas em áreas de risco avoçorocamento na cidade de Manaus (AM)

Abstract

The public “works” interventions carried out by the Municipality of Manaus and the Government of the State of Amazonas are presented in two ways: urbanistic-environmental, integrated and punctual. Integrated urban-environmental interventions, such as the Social and Environmental Program of the Igarapés of Manaus (PROSAMIN), PROAMA's Capture and Distribution Station, among others, have common characteristics such as: large socio-spatial scale, significant contingent of people directly/ indirectly benefited and affected, area of ​​direct/indirect influence beyond the object of intervention, actions of a multiple nature, integrated and conditioned to the type of work, multisectoral execution, etc. On the other hand, specific works, such as the case of Recovery "Revitalization" of Risk Areas to gullying, are mainly marked by being of small socio-spatial scale, low contingent of people directly/indirectly benefited and affected, area of ​​direct/indirect influence restricted to the object of intervention, etc. In this sense, this article highlights the interventions carried out by the Public Power (Municipal and State) in the last 17 years with emphasis on the works (completed, in progress and paralyzed), responsibility for the execution and the special distribution (neighborhood and administrative zone) in order to obtain a vision holistic view of the corrective actions carried out and the public policy implemented by the municipal/state administration on areas at risk of gullying in Manaus.
