ÁREAS DE PRESERVAÇÃO PERMANENTE NOS PERÍMETROS URBANOS DE AQUIDAUANA E ANASTÁCIO - MS

Abstract

With the accelerated and poorly planned urbanization process came environmental problems. The Law 12.651/2012 - New Brazilian Forest Code - defines Permanent Preservation Area (APP) as a protected area, covered or not by native vegetation, with the environmental function of preserving water resources, landscape, geological stability and biodiversity. The study area involves the urban perimeters of the municipalities of Aquidauana and Anastácio, which, according to the IBGE, form an urban center with an estimated population of 73,006 inhabitants. The objective of the proposal is to map and analyze the PPAs of the urban perimeters of Aquidauana and Anastácio/MS, pointing out the flood risk and vulnerability of the areas. The adopted method is the hypothetical-deductive one, and the origin of the research came from the verification of the problems in the cities of Aquidauana and Anastácio, related to flooding caused by the flooding of waterways, as well as the damage caused to the environment and the urban environment. For the elaboration of the land use map, high resolution aerial images were used, while the elaboration of the APPs map, considered the Law 12.651/2012 - New Brazilian Forest Code, involving the springs, lakes and ponds, and watercourses in the urban perimeters of the municipalities of Aquidauana and Anastácio. As for the results, 6.36 km² of minimum APPs were accounted for in the study area, corresponding to 11.41% of the urban perimeter, also pointing out data from (CPRM) that show the places of high risk of flooding on the banks of the Aquidauana River.
