Desafios territoriais de padrões de ocupação rururbana ribeirinha em cidades do bioma Amazônia no contexto da adaptação às mudanças climáticas

Abstract

Riparian settlements in the Amazon are often neglected by territorial policies, which results in the exclusion of these populations and the weakening of their settlements. In this context, the study investigates the convergence of territorial policies (rural and urban) and climate policies to strengthen the adaptive capacity of these communities in the context of environmental and climate change. The research adopts a qualitative approach, based on a literature review and analysis of reference cases in Amazonian cities, such as Manaus (AM), Belém (PA), Macapá (AP) and Laranjal do Jari (AP), considering the territorial morphology, the organization of the settlements and the socio-environmental challenges faced. The results show that the riparian rural-urban patterns in the Amazon biome combine rural characteristics in fragments of urban fabrics, reflecting rural construction strategies for adapting to the floodplain environment and to the socioeconomic inequalities resulting from economic cycles. However, these populations remain vulnerable, mainly due to the lack of adequate infrastructure and the risk of flooding. Given this scenario, it is essential to formulate an integrated policy agenda that recognizes these traditional forms of occupation, strengthens adaptive infrastructures and promotes the active participation of these communities in decision-making processes, ensuring effective strategies for environmental adaptation and territorial justice.
