Intervenção antrópica em áreas de preservação permanente na zona urbana de Sinop – MT

Abstract

The present study aimed to identify the types and quantification of human intervention in Permanent Preservation Areas in the Urban Perimeter of Sinop-MT. The urban occupation process, when marked by the absence of planning, has caused a disorderly urban growth in areas that should be preserved. From the vector representation of the springs and the drainage network of the municipality, a cut of the Consolidated Urban Zone was applied, and the elements inserted in this zone were considered. Four springs were identified within the consolidated urban area, being they the source of Iva stream, located inside the Municipal Forest Park, the source of Nilza stream located within the Jardim Botânico Municipal Park, source of Neusa stream, located within the Reserve near campus the University of the State of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT) and a source in the Janaina stream. After the digital delimitation of the APPs, the planning of field visits in the mapped areas was carried out. The data obtained from the image interpretation indicated that there is occupation in disagreement with environmental legislation in all APPs, with different extensions of alteration. The monitoring and inspection of these areas can be obtained using geotechnologies, including free data and software.
