Abstract

CAMPOS, Sérgio et al. Geo-processing in identifying and locating potential conflicts of land use in areas of permanent preservation of the Monte Belo watershed, Botucatu (SP, Brazil). Acta Agron. [online]. 2009, vol.58, n.4, pp.299-302. ISSN 0120-2812.

This work aimed to evaluate the potential of geo-processing in the identification and localization of potential conflicts of use over 1592ha in permanent preservation areas (APPs) of the Monte Belo watershed - Botucatu (SP, Brazil) (22° 45’ to 22° 48’ S and 48o 15’ to 48° 21’ W), through the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and digital satellite images, bands 3, 4 and 5 of Sensor TM of LANDSAT 5, of the orbit 220, point 76, quadrant A, passage of 23/10/2006. The results allowed verification that 62.78% of the area is occupied with reforestation and 37.22% is forest, and that only 2.65% of the area has been used inadequately with reforestation.

Keywords : landscape evolution; watershed; remote sensing.
