Resumen
The problem of climate change is global, but cities have a great deal of
responsibility on the subject in order to concentrate a large part of the world's
population and economic activities, attracting potentially polluting means of
transport. Thus, realizing what and how urban planners and policymakers have
done to mitigate greenhouse emissions and adapt to the effects of climate
change are important in the context of building cities that are less risk-prone
and more sustainable. In this sense, the main objective of our master's thesis is
to understand how urban planning can contribute to the construction of climate
adaptation capacity in the cities of Natal and Curitiba. To that end, the
methodological procedures, following the guidelines of an interdisciplinary
research, present a qualitative approach, making use of a set of methods,
namely: documentary research and secondary data; Case Study; field research,
with the application of semi-structured interviews as a data collection
instrument; and content analysis with the help of QSR NVivoR version 11
software for Windows. The field research of this dissertation occurred in
approximately one year, more specifically, between August 2017 and August
2018. The results and discussion of this research, following the specific
objectives proposed, i. analyze territorial planning instruments that incorporate
public policies or risk management actions in the urban planning of Natal and
Curitiba; ii. analyze the connections of the current master plans of the studied
cities with the environmental and climatic issues; and iii. investigate whether
Natal and Curitiba are seeking to build a potential for adaptation to the effects of
climate change. In summary, we find that while in Natal city climate issues are
not integrated with other sectors of urban planning, in Curitiba there is an
environmental identity that integrates with other sectors of urban planning of the
city, allowing themes such as climate change are present in the agenda of the
urban agenda, thus contributing to the elaboration and implementation of
adaptation strategies to the effects of current and future climate change.
