Modelagem da Informação e a Natureza como Infraestrutura : ferramentas para a resiliência da paisagem urbana a inundações no contexto brasileiro

Brazilian cities face significant challenges related to urban resilience to f looding, especially in contexts of unplanned growth and insufficient in frastructure. This dissertation investigates how nature, as infrastructure, can be applied to promote urban resilience, exploring the role of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and Blue Infrastructure (BI). The primary objective is to analyze how NBS can act as agents of urban resilience against flooding, considering the geographical, social, and cultural characteristics of each territory. Furthermore, the research aims to explore Landscape Information Modeling (LIM) as a tool capable of addressing global demands without overlooking local particularities. The main contribution of this work lies in the creation of a parametric model, named Tucunaré, which diagnoses urban micro-watersheds and proposes specific interventions based on BI, while also evaluates the applicability of LIM in different Brazilian urban contexts. The research employed literature reviews, analysis of landscape design methodologies, and case studies in Belém, Fortaleza, and Sobral. These studies included workshops and practical applications of the model, integrating parametric tools into urban and landscape planning. The results demonstrate that the Tucunaré model is effective in diagnosing and pro posing interventions based on BI, contributing to the mitigation of urban f looding. Additionally, LIM proved to be a viable approach to incorporate sustainability and resilience into urban projects, including in vulnerable are as. Ultimately, the research reinforces the role of NBS and BI as promising strategies to promote urban resilience and highlights the importance of inte grated methodologies for resilient planning.
