Diagnóstico urbano e diretrizes para о desenvolvimento urbano de Mara Rosa (GO): conexões entre mineração, agricultura e infraestrutura ferroviária

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis aims to develop an urban diagnosis of the municipality of Mara Rosa, located in the northern region of the state of Goiás, Brazil. The research seeks to understand the territorial, social, economic, and environmental dynamics that influence the municipality, focusing on three main axes: agriculture (highlighting turmeric cultivation), mining, and regional railway integration. The methodology combines technical and participatory diagnosis, including the analysis of secondary data, field research, and the application of a satisfaction survey with residents. Based on this empirical foundation, key urban challenges and potentials were identified, supporting the formulation of urban guidelines aimed at sustainable development, social inclusion, and local economic strengthening. The study also highlights the challenges faced by small municipalities in planning and managing their territories in the face of mineral capital pressures and significant infrastructural changes, proposing pathways for more participatory and resilient governance.
