Resumo

The increased migration of people from rural to urban areas enabled an urban sprawl, with the occupation of inappropriate sites, causing urban environmental impacts. From this disorderly occupation of urban areas has as consequences: the removal of natural vegetation, the occupation of areas with risks of landslides, use and disorderly land use, increase in impervious urban areas, expansion of runoff rates which may generate erosion on the slopes, siltation of rivers and flooding in urban areas. This strong population growth linked to urban planning without taking into consideration the physical aspects of the environment, brought great implications for the quality of life in urban areas. Thus, we sought to study the city of Uberaba (MG), in which there was an occupation of the area of the Basin Stream Lajes, which has suffered several urban environmental impacts from its formation and expansion without proper planning. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the environmental aspects within the Lajes Stream basin and proposing the drawing up of guiding parameters as support the occupation, in order to provide greater urban environmental quality in this space. To this end, used if the environmental quality methodology proposed by Nucci (2001), holding that the necessary adaptations to the area of research, and geosystemic theory. Overall, the results demonstrated the need for measures to improve the urban environment quality and, consequently, the environmental quality of the human population.
