RESUMO:

Cities are one of the greatest transformations and impacts produced by human beings on the natural environment, imposing challenges on the urban sphere of life, including urban environmental quality. Urban environmental quality refers to the environmental satisfaction of urban areas, and their studies provide information on areas that present poor and good environmental quality conditions, seeking to minimize negative impacts on natural resources and improve the quality of life of the population. Mossoró, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil, has relevant economic and social influence as the second largest city and only medium-sized city in the state. Throughout its process of urban expansion, planning and municipal management did not contemplate the sustainability of the environment, caused by socio-environmental problems that interfere in the conditions of urban environmental quality of the city. Therefore, the objective of this work was to identify the conditions of intraurban environmental quality of the municipality of Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, seeking to support discussions about the planning and urban management of the city. The nature of this research is basic, with a quantitative approach, before the objectives is descriptive, using bibliographic and documentary research. The socio-environmental variables selected to result in the conditions of intraurban environmental quality of Mossoró were: land cover, vegetation cover, land surface temperature, occurrence of flooding and basic sanitation conditions. For each variable, a thematic letter was elaborated in the free software QGIS 3.10.7 'A Coruña', and negative attributes were defined that were added together to result in the conditions of intraurban environmental quality of Mossoró classified in the classes: good, low, and poor. Throughout the urban expansion of the city of Mossoró, especially from the 1970s, it is possible to classify the city's neighborhoods into central, neighborhoods that are located further to the city center, on the development axis, having better infrastructure, equipment, and public services unlike the peripheral neighborhoods, located on the city's margins. The analysis of the socio-environmental variables land cover, vegetation cover and land surface temperature show that the central neighborhoods are more vulnerable to low intraurban environmental quality due to the concentration of built area, little or absence of vegetation cover and high temperatures, different from what occurs in peripheral neighborhoods. The socio-environmental variable occurrence of flooding indicates the precariousness of the rainwater drainage system in the city, contributing to the reduction of intraurban environmental quality, while the variable basic sanitation conditions proved to be more adequate in the central neighborhoods, to have better infrastructure conditions. As a result of the conditions of intraurban environmental quality of Mossoró, it is possible to identify that the condition of good intraurban environmental quality is present in areas of the peripheral neighborhoods of the city, the condition of low intraurban environmental quality is located mainly in areas of the peripheral neighborhoods, and the condition of poor intraurban environmental quality arises punctually in areas of the central and peripheral neighborhoods. It is recommended actions and measures related to the planning and municipal management of Mossoró with a focus on preservation, conservation, and improvement according to each condition.
