Análise do uso e ocupação do solo e seus impactos no Município de Alagoinha - PE

Abstract

Geotechmoçogies and remote sensing help in the evaluation and monitoring of natural resources, in an effective and economical way, allowing the identification of the possible causes and consequences of the environment in the area interest. In this way, the present work aimed to evaluate the dynamicsof land use and occupation and its impacts in the city of Alagoinha - PE using geotechnology. All the geoprocessing was carried out in the free software SPRING 5.5.3, in which the numerical model of the terrain was performed using SRTM data, which enabled the characterization of the relief through the hypsometric and slope analysis.Trough the satelite images Landsat 7 ETM + and Landsat 8 OLI of the years 2002 and 2017, the Adjusted Multispectral Composition, the calculation of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index - NDVI, the classification of the use and occupation of the soil of the municipality and its anthropism, as well as the social imapcts of such use and occupation. It was observed that the largest area of the municipality (27,71%) is at altitude between 710-760m and the slope varies between 0 - 5° in 61.78% of the area, characterizing the relief with bein flat / smooth wavy. Regarding the results of the digital image processing, it was identified that all the established classes presented variations, and the classes that more attracted attention were the class of Dense Vegetation, that presented an increase of 16,04 km² (7.74%) of the area, and the Soil Exposed classe, which presented a decrease of 8.06 km² (3.87%). In the analysis of the social impacts, it was possible to establish a relationship with the assistance programs, in the Federal, State and Municipal spheres, with the increase of the vegetal cover, water mirrors and the reduction of the soil exposure, also noting that it was not environmental education and recognition of the importance of natural resources in the quality of life of the population.
