Dinâmica de uso e ocupação do solo em áreas de preservação permanente do Reservatório do Pirapama, Cabo de Santo Agostinho – PE

Abstract

Action on natural environments occurs in parallel with human evolution on the planet, so the absence of adequate planning associated with the disorderly growth of cities and agricultural activities directly influence the decharacterization and dysfunctionality of PPPs. In view of the above, the objective of this work was to raise the occurrence of conflicts of land use and occupation in the Permanent Preservation Areas of the Pirapama-PE Reservoir between 2003 and 2018, according to the protection parameters established by environmental legislation. To do so, the APPs were delimited using the software Google Earth Pro and through the software QGis 2.14 was generated the shapefile for trimming the study area. Therefore, using images from the Landsat 5 and 8 satellites, TM (Thematic Mapper) and OLI / TIRS (Operational Land Imager / Thermal Infrared Sensor) with resolution of 30 meters, from 2003, 2010 and 2018, it was possible to map 5 classes of use and occupation of the soil in the 1: 35,000 scale in the QGis environment. The supervised classification of the images was done through the SCP plugin, and the accuracy of this mapping was evaluated by the Kappa Index. The evolution of the conflicts of use of the soil was obtained by means of the overlap of the maps generated with the classifications of the images. In possession, it was possible to determine the amount of preserved APPs and of area in disagreement with the legislation. The results showed that anthropic activities impacted almost 4.65 km² of native vegetation, equivalent to 33.3% of the study area. There was a significant reduction in the "forest preserved" class of land use for agriculture, urban area and exposed soil, from 90.4% in 2003 to 81.8% in 2010 and decreased to 66.7% by 2018 (17.6%) of the area, being the main occurrence of land use conflict of PPAs. By the Kappa index, the image ratings of the years 2003 and 2010 obtained the "very good" result, being 0.62 and 0.80, respectively, while the classification of the year 2018 obtained an "excellent" result, corresponding to 0 , 82 by index. Considering the decrease of the time for territorial monitoring, the importance of the study of the dynamics of land use and occupation through remote sensing for the management and inspection units is highlighted. Such studies are essential for making decisions regarding the management and maintenance of these areas in front of legislation and environmental preservation.
