Análise da dinâmica da cobertura e uso da terra na bacia hidrográfica do rio coco dentro da APA ilha do bananal / cantão, estado do Tocantins

Abstract

The use of natural resources in Brazil, as well as urban development, has been carried out in a disorderly way. Looking at the environment more broadly, as through land use and occupation, allows for a more agile detection of areas with greater compromise and degradation. The objective of this work was to analyze the dynamics of land cover and use of the Rio do Coco watershed within the Environmental Preservation Area - APA Ilha do Bananal / Cantão. The study presents a quantitative and qualitative approach that resulted in comparative data between the years 2010 and 2020 of the study area. We sought to work with the data obtained from the MapBiomas platform for the mentioned dates and quantify the changes that occurred in the land use and occupation classes. The results demonstrate that there was variation between the classes identified in 2010 and 2020. It was also observed the reduction and fragmentation of plant formations within the study area and that the MapBiomas tool showed great potential for use for integrated analysis of the environment and that the use of higher resolution data would make the results more accurate and faithful to the dynamics of the study area.
