Arniqueira is an administrative region in the Federal District in Brazil. It was officially founded in 2019, and it was implemented through Law Nº 6.391, of 30 September.[1] Prior to this, Arniqueira was one of the urban centers of the region, which was originally a sector of farms that grew disorderly during the 1990s. The sector was transformed into a housing nucleus in 2002, through Complementary Law nº 785.[1]

Arniqueira was part of the Regional Administration of Águas Claras from 2003 until 2019. It is composed of the conurbation of the sectors Arniqueira, ADE, Águas Claras and Areal, together with QS's 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.[1]

Arniqueira grew substantially between 2000 and 2010, in which the population went from 18,716 to 43,718. In 2015 it was projected that the new AR would have 46,621 inhabitants in 2020, and in 2021 the region reached 47,045.[1][2]

It was made into an administrative region on 28 August 2019.[3]

History

The Administrative Region of Arniqueira was established through Law No. 6,391, of 30 September 2019, published in the Official Gazette on 1 October,[4] the day that celebrates the city's anniversary.[5] Thus, it was separated from the Águas Claras region and became the Arniqueira region, the 33rd Administrative Region of the Federal District. Part of the assets, number of servers, operational support, and number of commissioned positions were transferred from the Regional Administration of Águas Claras. These transfers were intended to move the necessary staff for the satisfactory administration of the new Administrative Region created by law.[6]

Origins and settlement

The settlement of the Arniqueira Region began in 1990, through the disorderly growth of a sector of farms, which gradually became an urban area that is currently undergoing a process of regularization.[7] Often, both in popular language and in the media, and in official documents, the sector is called "Arniqueiras" (in the plural), the name of the agricultural colony that gave rise to the place, which mentions a stream that bathes the region; nevertheless, the district legislator chose to name the region officially "Arniqueira" (in the singular).[8] Areal, another urban center in the administrative region, originated from the regularization of the former Vila Areal invasion, which took place in 1989.[9] Despite being regularized, this housing nucleus has a deficit of urban infrastructure, such as the absence of colleges and high schools, and the existence of a single Health Center that does not meet the needs of the population, which makes Areal dependent on services from other regions, such as Águas Claras, Taguatinga and Riacho Fundo.[10]

Economic expansion

One of the areas that comprise the Arniqueira region is the Areal neighborhood, which stands out for a wide variety of shops and services provided to the population, in which they facilitate the daily lives of the residents of the region and stands out as the commercial center of the region. Administration of Arniqueira. Another region is the Economic Development Area (ADE) which concentrates large companies and industries in the Federal District. Among them are: Indústrias Rossi, Café do Sítio, Nasa Veículos, Wholesalers and food distributors, in addition to the diversity of services.[1] Despite the economic expansion, Arniqueira faces several problems until the present day, such as the irregularity of the land and the absence of services such as the police station and health unit, in addition to the insufficient number of school places in public education.[10]

Recent history

In 2020, a partnership was formed between the State Secretariat for Urban Development (Sedur) and the Federal District Development Agency (Terracap) which intended to regularize the Housing Sector of Arniqueira, through a notary registration of the lots and invest in infrastructure in the region. In 2020, in the Arniqueira Administrative Region, an Environmental Control Plan, a Plan for the Recovery of Degraded Areas and Studies of streams and tributaries, due to the formation of erosion and damage to the streams that surround the region, resulting from the irregular occupation of the area, were also prepared, as well as lack of urban planning and the incorrect subdivision of land in Arniqueira.[11]

Arniqueira is located close to 6 other administrative regions, Águas Claras, Guará, Núcleo Bandeirante, Riacho Fundo and Taguatinga. The region has access to federal highways BR-060, located to the south of the region, DF-001 to the west, and DF-079 to the east, which are direct accesses. It covers an area of 1,300 hectares, which encompasses the Setor Habitacional Arniqueira, Areal Qs 06 to 11, (Qs 07 except for the Catholic University area) and Economic Development Area (ADE). In the Federal District, flat (0% to 3%) and smooth-undulating (3% to 8%) slopes predominate, which extend into the Arniqueira region. As a result of this flat characteristic of the DF, the level curves are not accentuated, only with greater variation in the locations of the watercourses.[12]
