Suscetibilidade à erosão: o olhar da gestão ambiental sobre o uso e ocupação no município de Gilbués-PI

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the susceptibility to erosion of the areado and Urucuia rock formations, based on land use and occupation and from the perspective of environmental management. The research is justified by the scarcity of studies that relate the analysis of susceptibility to erosion with environmental management and by the fact that many studies focus only on isolated aspects of the problem. For this, the methodology adopted was bibliographical research, complemented by the use of secondary data from IBGE, BDIA, MapBiomas and Agência Nacional de Minação, which were used in the creation of thematic maps that helped in identifying the analysis of the dynamics of use and occupation of the soil. Thus, the results indicate that the degraded areas are predominantly located on the rock formation under study, with emphasis on the class of pasture use that is indicated in both formations, an activity that has an indirect but significant role in intensifying degradation, in addition to Furthermore, the research highlights the scarcity of effective environmental management initiatives at the municipal level, which worsens the problem of erosion in these areas.
