RESUMO

During the last decades, the intense urbanization has turned the Brazilian cities in centers characterized by social and territorial inequalities. Political decisions that consider the strategic aspect of the territory, shows the increasing need of detailed information. The main goal of the present study is the contribution to public administration planning inside the intra-urban space. Then, the following objectives were established: (a) production and analysis of social exclusion/inclusion indicators, according to a developed methodology in Sposati (1996); (b) the development of differentiated techniques to produce and refine data from units of territorial analysis. Regarding these items, it was done the integration among Geographical Information Systems, Geographical Databases and Spatial Analysis techniques. The main contributions of this dissertation com be stated as: (a) the building of a Geographical Database containing several information about São José dos Campos county; (b) Assessment, analysis and adaptation of the quantitative method, developed by Sposati (1996), and originally applied to São Paulo city, to São José dos Campos; (c) the detection of significant variables to the Social Exclusion/Inclusion Index, resulting in the so-called "Synthesis Indexes" and the "Synthesis Maps". This procedure included the use of multivariate statistic and spatial analysis of the data set; (d) application and validation of these tools at the city scale and at the scale of the city fragments; (e) evaluation of the effective contribution of these procedures in order to provide instruments for public polices planning. Joining all these results, it became possible to treat the main theme - territory and inequalities - with different spatial analysis routines that take maps into account, not only as a simple spatial support, but also as practical and cognitive tools, capable of revealing new ways of thinking and intervening in the urban space.
