This study applied and evaluated the temporal change of the Distance to Nature index (D2N) for land use and cover monitoring in the Irati National Forest and its buffer zone (Southern Brazil) between 1986 and 2016. This study addressed the following questions: (1) Which land use dynamics were observed between 1986 and 2016 in the Irati National Forest and its buffer zone? (2) Is the analysis of D2N evolution relevant to assess landscape dynamics in protected areas and their buffer zones? The degree of naturalness decreased after 1986. Statistical analyses showed a significant difference in the D2N values between 1997 and all other years. We observed an increase of D2N values in the 30-year period. The spatial D2N trajectory map between 1986 and 2016 shows where the D2N values changed, and enables us to infer where the differences observed could compromise the ecological condition of the protected area and its buffer zone. The results demonstrate that an analysis by means of D2N can be an effective tool to monitor and assess anthropogenic influences on biodiversity in buffer zones around protected areas.

Territorial planning plays a fundamental role in preservation of areas for ecological conservation and environmental management as well as in providing adequate spaces for visitation and research and prioritizing sustainable relationships between man and nature. The present work exhibits a methodological proposal that allows the standardization of territorial classifications in preservation areas. Based on fuzzy logic, the proposed model observes the particularities of a preservation area; hence, the decision generated in the classification of zones represents the work that is currently being developed in the areas of biology, geography, environmental engineering, among other research groups. The modeling combines the evaluation of the data collected in the field (variables: quantitative and qualitative) with vegetation indices obtained from satellite imagery. Combining this information enables each sampling point to be categorized, thereby generating preservation area zones. The results showed that the methodology can distinguish border areas as transition zones, allowing appropriate management to offer detailed information of the study area. The case study, in which the methodology was applied in a preservation area in southern Brazil, showed that the methodology assists in territorial planning, with a clear indication of what actions have been performed and simple data collection.
