Abstract

Studies and discussions on urban planning aimed at preventing risks and disasters have been increasing in recent decades, especially since the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the City Statute. Additionally, the rising frequency of natural phenomena, such as floods and landslides, has begun to affect cities. Despite this, few municipalities are structurally and technically prepared to prevent and respond to these situations. Many of them do not even associate or incorporate the theme of “susceptibility” into their planning policies and plans, thereby favoring the expansion of risk areas. In light of these challenges, this study presents an investigation and analysis of the presence or absence of this theme in the urban planning policies and plans in the city of São João del-Rei, Minas Gerais. As a result, contradictions and deficiencies were identified regarding the inclusion of the theme, as well as inconsistencies in microzoning.
