O Riacho Doce nasce no Sítio Olhinhos D’água no município de Lajedo - PE, corta a cidade e deságua no Riacho do Quatis. A ideia do trabalho é analisar a problemática ambiental urbana decorrente da ocupação irregular das margens do Riacho Doce em Lajedo, visando identificar as suas implicações na qualidade de vida da população da cidade. Para isso, inicialmente, se caracterizou o uso e ocupação irregular das margens do Riacho Doce, visando identificar os condicionantes da degradação do rio na cidade. Posteriormente, identificou-se as práticas da população ribeirinha, no intuito de relacioná-las as situações de risco ambiental e de degradação do Riacho Doce. E em seguida, se analisou a relação do uso e ocupação/práticas da população ribeirinha do Riacho Doce e suas implicações sobre a qualidade de vida da população da cidade. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa adotou-se seguintes procedimentos metodológicos: pesquisa exploratória, quantitativa, qualitativa, empírica e uma observação in loco. Os resultados indicaram que a população ribeirinha da cidade de Lajedo estabelece uma íntima relação com o Riacho Doce, despejo de lixo no leito e nas margens do rio, criação de animais, banhos, dentre outras, que se manifestam mormente nos lugares mais pobres, engendrando uma série de riscos ambientais, responsáveis pela agudização da queda da qualidade de vida.

The stream whose name is Riacho Doce born in Sítio Olhinhos D`água in Lajedo – PE, cross this town and end up in Riacho do Quatis. The idea of this work is analyse the environmental problems caused by irregular urban occupation of the riverside of the Riacho Doce in Lajedo, aiming to identify the implications on the irregular occupation of the town`s people. For this, first characterized the use and the irregular occupation of the riverside of Riacho Doce, identifying the determinants of the degradation of the river in this town. Subsequently, we identified the practices of the riverside population, in order to relate them to situations of risk and environmental degradation of Riacho Doce. And then, we analysed the relation between the use and the occupation/practices of the riverside population of Riacho Doce and the implications on the quality of the town`s population. For the development of the research we adopted the following methodology: exploratory research, quantitative, qualitative, empirical and in loc observation. The results indicated that the riverside population of Lajedo establishes an intimate relationship with the Riacho Doce, dump trash in the riverside, breed of animals, bathing, among others, that manisfested especially in the poorest areas of the stream, causing a series of environmental risks, responsible for the decrease in the quality of life.
