The Neighborhood Impact Study is a technical document prepared prior to the issuance of licenses or authorizations for construction, expansion or operation of private or public enterprises in urban area. It is essential to understand and elaborate the preventive measures and to avoid the imbalance in urban growth, in addition to ensuring minimum conditions of occupation of the habitable spaces.

The EIV contemplates the potential positive and negative effects of the project or activity as to the quality of life of the population resident in the area and nearby. The function of control, prevention and precaution of EIV ensures the evaluation of the works and activities that can potentially cause environmental and urban impacts.

Some aspects must be addressed, as:

I. Population density;
II. Urban and community equipment;
III. Soil use and occupation;
IV. Real estate valuation;
V. Traffic increase and demand for public transport;
