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.
