Resumo
Entendendo-se que a sociedade humana depende, para o seu bem estar, da consideração não só dos fatores ambientais (físicos, químicos e biológicos), mas também dos parâmetros éticos e sociais, este trabalho procura analisar o significado da qualidade ambiental e da qualidade de vida sob o ponto de vista geográfico; para isso, realiza uma discussão acerca de todo o movimento que se iniciou desde a década de setenta a fim de discutir os problemas ambientais até a definição de qualidade ambiental e de vida urbana, destaca os principais indicadores urbanos que contribuem para nos fornecer resultados referentes à boa ou má qualidade ambiental e evidencia a cidade de Várzea Paulista-SP, como estudo de caso, no que se refere a sua caracterização ambiental-social, como também o levantamento de alguns indicadores para avaliar sua qualidade de vida, destacando: a qualidade das águas da região que abrange o Município de Várzea Paulista-SP; distribuição de água encanada por bairros; situação do esgoto na cidade; relação do número de estabelecimentos comerciais e industriais e o desemprego; dados sobre saúde, educação e criminalidade. Coloca-se como um dos focos principais deste estudo à questão do adensamento do espaço urbanizado influenciando na queda da qualidade ambiental e de vida na cidade de Várzea Paulista-SP.
