Os condomínios fechados e suas repercussões nas cidades: definição da utilização do Estudo de Impacto de Vizinhança como instrumento de regulação do fenômeno

Abstract

The present work consists of an attempt to understand the current era, the "liquid modernity" and the phenomenon of gated communities and their impacts on the cities through intense theoretical study of urbanists and sociologists, who provided pieces of a perceptive mosaic presented here. The phenomenon of gated communities represents a desire of people that seems to transcend the pursuit of security: people seem to want to escape the "malaise of interaction." This context and the advent of Law no. 13.465/17, which facilitated the regularization of gated communities, indicate that this form of "voluntary community" is expanding and needs to be regulated, since this potential causes urban impacts. The result of the study indicates that the urban development instrument of the Neighborhood Impact Study is imposed as a form of regulation of gated communities, and the study identified its degree of regulation and the need for legislative evolution of the municipalities at this point
