Análise Multitemporal do Uso e Ocupação do Solo no Puntal Del Chifre - Olinda/PE

Abstract

Population growth patterns are linked to almost all the challenges that humanity faces, including the scarcity of adequate sites for human and environmental development. Thus, in the coastal zone of Puntal Del Chifre, many areas have given way to disordered urban occupation. The present study aims to evaluate the changes in land use and occupation occurring in the Puntal Del Horn located in the municipality of Olinda / PE, between 1975 and 2014, through the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. The results point to a significant increase in the urban area and decrease of the vegetation area.
