ANDRADE, Jane  y  CARMO, Judite. Between the ideal and the real: the master plan and the reality of the Sangradouro creek and urban expansion of Cáceres, Mato Grosso, from 1986 to 2016. GOT [online]. 2018, n.15, pp.31-53. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2018.15.002.

Interventions in Permanent Preservation Areas of urban creeks have, over the years, put them and their population at risk. In this scenario, we aimed to analyze the degradation of the Sangradouro creek in Cáceres, Mato Grosso; and to determine how the municipal management, through its Master Plan, has contributed to this process. We used a qualitative approach, involving bibliographical, field and documentary research, as well as interviews and a questionnaire. The results show that the watercourse is partly disfigured, and its degradation is visible throughout its extent; and that the public authority, who ought to have undertaken actions to reduce and curb the creek’s degradation, did not execute any of the directives stated in the Master Plan, and the established deadlines were not met.

Palabras clave : Urban Creek.; Degradation; Planning Instrument; Public Management.
