Abstract

Considering that it is necessary to understand a phenomenon to, only then, be possible to address it, this paper seeks to present the construction of an indicators system as a method to measure the propensity of a particular area to undergo gentrification processes. The research has as spatial cutout the municipality of Fortaleza, Brazil.

The hypothesis presented is that Information Modeling, as a support to Urban Planning, can assist to describe and predict the occurrence of this phenomenon in order to contribute to its mitigation. For the methodological construction of the system, the research investigates the operational dimensions that should be addressed by a possible indicator of gentrification. We considered it pertinent to compose a system with indicators and data that could account for the vulnerability of residents, proximity to opportunities, and pressure to develop.

 

Keywords: information modeling, gentrification, urban planning, urban indicators.
