The INTRAURBAN DYNAMIC OF THE CITY OF ASSÚ/RN

THE CENTER AND THE NEW CENTRALITIES

Abstract

This research work addresses the theme of intraurban centrality, focusing on the urban dynamics of consumption in areas of cities that imply in processes that generate forms and contents. In this sense, to understand the urban dynamics of consumption in cities, it is of fundamental importance to think about central areas and the articulation of technical objects presents on them, as well as the set of spatial logics. Under the perspective of the dynamics of intraurban centrality, the interest in thinking the city of Assú/RN arises, from the development of the formation of specializations corresponding to the historic center of the city. The methodological procedures were lined on bibliographical survey, about the works of Spósito (2013, 1991), Santos (2015), Borges (2013), Corrêa (2002), Dolzani (2008), Contel (2006) and Pintaudi (1981). For the analysis of the central areas of the city of Assú, it was selected as a procedure the identification of the technical objects present in the city center and the peripheral areas, through field works. Later, with the use of a GARMIN eTrex 10 GPS, it started the elaboration of thematic maps, with the use of the geoprocessing tool Quantum Gis 3.10 (Qgis 3.10). It can be observed the diversification in the intraurban centrality in the city of Assú, which arises from new material forms associated with service offerings associated with trade, education, health and specialized services provided by the public sector, which promote and condition new flows, allowing the configuration of new centralities.
