Abstract
The quality of urban life has been studied in various areas of academic specialization and is a complex theme. The subject's quality of life involves multi-disciplinary questions presented with different perspectives, according to the relevance of the historical moment, social conditions, as well as the dominant ideology shaping the objectives in question. The approach adopted in the present study is focused on the satisfaction of the basics needs of the population, in order to guarantee complete physical, mental and social development. For this, four dimensions were considered: conditions of sanitation; the socioeconomic situation and demography; using data of the last demographic Census in 2000 (IBGE, 2000); and homogeneous residential zones, by means of technical interpretation of satellite images with high spatial resolution. For the spatial results and processing of quantitative and qualitative data, techniques of Geoprocessing had been used, using Geographic Information System and multivariate statistical techniques (factor analysis and cluster analysis), which had guaranteed the spatial distribution of the listed data. From the results obtained with these techniques, it was possible to elaborate the map synthesis of the quality of life of Cachoeirinha District, northern zone of São Paulo, Brazil.
