AVALIAÇÃO VISUAL RÁPIDA DE RIOS URBANOS: O CASO DO BAIXO CURSO DA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIO REIS MAGOS E DO RIO JACARAÍPE, ESPÍRITO SANTO

Abstract

This paper aims to make a social and environmental assessment through the Rapid Assessment Protocols (RAP) method, in the low course of the Reis Magos river basin and in the Jacaraípe river mouth. To this end, bibliographic readings were developed about the main theories approached here, such as river systems. In addition, a PAR was made for the visual assessment of the above bodies of water with fourteen questions to be evaluated and analyzed, which involve natural and social characteristics around these rivers. The results were satisfactory, as it allowed us to infer a series of considerations about the evaluated rivers and, thus, produce scientific material that can collaborate with the governing bodies and society in urban and environmental planning.
