O corredor urbano de desenvolvimento do município de Marechal Cândido Rondon - Paraná

Abstract

This study was aimed at analyzing the urban development corridor in Marechal Candido Rondon Parana State, represented by the federal highway BR-163, and the organizations and institutions responsible for City Planning and Organization. BR-163 highway, in Toledo Micro region connects the cities of Toledo and Guaira passing through an extension of 5.3 kilometers inside the urban perimeter of Marechal Candido Rondon. It was questioned whether (1) the corridor represented by BR-163 drives the development of the urban economy and (2) what is the importance of the highway for the city of Marechal Candido Rondon. Delphi methodology was used to conduct the study. Interviews were conducted with 11 representatives of institutional organizations who are responsible for planning processes. The questions were based on 10 pre-conditions for strategies to development corridors. The results indicated that BR-163 in the urban perimeter of Marechal Candido Rondon is important to the city for being the route of connection between nodes of activity and development centers. Despite this importance, respondents hold a negative perception of the highway within the urban perimeter. The main issue raised is the poor distribution of rural, industrial and residential land uses along the urban corridor, which causes it to assume a heterogeneous precondition and creates a complex of activities featuring a rural / urban continuum along the extension of the highway in the urban perimeter.
