UMA ANÁLISE ESPACIAL DO USO E OCUPAÇÃO DO SOLO NA BACIA DO CÓRREGO DA ÁGUA SUMIDA, PONTAL DO PARANAPANEMA - SP (original) (raw)

This work shows the importance of software, in this case Qgis program, geoprocessing for the spatial analysis of phenomena, because the use of Qgis software facilitates the visualization and geographic location of the phenomenon, allowing better analysis of the research object. Thus, we used this program for analysis of Land Use and Occupancy in the Basin Stream of Water Sumida, located in the Pontal do Paranapanema, near the State Reserve Morro do Diabo. The basin is at the limit of four municipalities: Teodoro Sampaio, Epitácio President, Maraba Paulista and Mirante do Paranapanema, a region considered of major conflicts over land ownership, with a strong presence of social movements. The methodology consisted in the use of QGIS 2.6 software for mapping, bibliographic review of this analysis tool and the study area, using the IBGE's Manual for technical classification of land use and, finally, the analysis of cartographic products. It has resulted in the map of land use and occupation in the basin, highlighting unprotected springs, bare soil, large areas of sugarcane monoculture, land conflicts in Pontal.
