Abstract

The presence of rivers has always been considered a great attraction and a determining element for the progress of human occupations to become the cities that are known today. However, this popularity became a target of forgetness and degradation. In this scenario, it is proposed to make a brief analysis of the duality existing around the urban space configuration and its relationship with the water margins, aiming to diagnose how is situated the Itabapoana River's marginal occupation - in the stretch of the municipality of Bom Jesus of Itabapoana / RJ. As an instrument of this research, was adopted the methodology of bibliographical research, mapping and categorization of the main characteristics of the margins in different points and with different scales, which made it possible to recognize that the locations stand out predominantly densa and consolidated. In contrast, areas were identified with rare occupation and potential for urban requalification through the preservation of the natural environment and/or incorporation of publics. Finally, it is expected to highlight the importance of this natural patrimony and show how the asset preservation impact the process of urban environmental and life quality.
