O uso da flora para gestão e perícia ambiental : desmatamento urbano em Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brasil

Abstract

It is expected that the development and the growing demand of population density , seek for spaces for housing , installation companies with business activities in the city , there is the uncontrolled growth and mostly unsuitable in the construction of housing , commercial buildings and others. The great fact to be noted is the occupation of the soil inordinately followed deforestation in unbuilt areas and steep vertical generating negative impacts on the environment. The economic growth of a city can pass the irreversible traces of disrespect to the environment. The generated impact is felt by the population , causing problems such as the sharp rise in temperature due to densification of areas , preventing the passage of wind. The environmental impact in the urban environment has been studied more frequently to check the environmental processes and their physical attributes and population . The city of Cuiabá is the capital of Mato Grosso state that occupies about 881,001 km2 , located in the intertropical zone , relatively close to the equator , the main feature of the differences between the stations and the high temperatures during most of the year. Cuiaba is situated between the geographic coordinates 15º10 ' and 15'50 ' south latitude and 50º50'e 50º10 'west longitude , in central Brazil , the region described as " cuiabana depression." The work has been started from the literature review . a case study was conducted relating the old situation of deforestation in the capital city of Cuiabá in Mato Grosso state to the present day , showing the importance of conservation and implementation of relevant laws. The city of Cuiabá has an area of 315,743.96 hectares. Deforestation occurs by human action arising from territorial changes that significantly involve the reduction of native vegetation and the consequent loss of biodiversity in the city of Cuiabá, integrating intense process of urbanization and the growth of urban occupation. The deforestation rates from the years 2006-2013, for example, add up to a total of 4012.97 hectares deforested. The urban deforestation comes from human action and clearly interferes with the environment as a whole, increasing the temperature which was cleared by lowering the humidity in urban areas increasing heat islands, increasing soil sealing, among other various situations negative for the environment. This study can not be taken as definitive, since that sampling can maximize knowledge about the impact generated from the urban deforestation both in the city of Cuiabá, as in other locations.
