Desterritorialização e reconfiguração urbana: impactos da Ponte Mestre João Isidoro França (Ponte Estaiada) sobre os moradores da Avenida Alameda Parnaíba e no seu entorno

Abstract

This study analyzes the impacts generated by the construction of the Mestre João Isidoro França Cable-Stayed Bridge (Ponte Estaiada) on the residents of Avenida Alameda Parnaíba and its surroundings, in Teresina, Piauí. The research discusses how this major infrastructure project triggered processes of deterritorialization, urban reconfiguration, and socio-spatial changes that significantly transformed the dynamics of the territory and the daily lives of local residents. The work, entitled Deterritorialization and Urban Reconfiguration: Impacts of the Mestre João Isidoro França Bridge on the Residents of Avenida Alameda Parnaíba and Its Surroundings, addresses the following research question: What impacts did the construction of the Ponte Estaiada bring to the residents of Avenida Alameda Parnaíba and its surrounding areas? The general objective is to analyze these impacts, with emphasis on the processes of deterritorialization and urban reconfiguration. Accordingly, the specific objectives are: to identify the deterritorialization process experienced by the residents of Avenida Alameda Parnaíba; to recognize the changes in the urban configuration of the region after the construction of the bridge; and to differentiate the perceptions of residents who remained in the area from those who were displaced, regarding the social, economic, and urban impacts resulting from the project. The methodology adopted is characterized by a qualitative and quantitative approach of an explanatory nature, based on bibliographic, documentary, and field research, including the application of questionnaires, observations, photographic records, and document analysis. The study is structured into three chapters: introduction, development, and conclusion.
