Mapeamento para Análise de Aspectos Geomorfológicos com Uso do Geoprocessamento no Município de Altamira, Pará

Abstract

Geomorphological analysis is very important for understanding the carrying capacity of environments and environmental risk in order to conserve the ecosystems. This study is a physical and environmental analysis in the municipality of Altamira, Pará, Brazil, using advanced technologies in the treatment of secondary information for mapping, contributing to the environmental management of Altamira. Thus, the general objective of this research was to analyze the importance of geomorphological mapping for the municipality of Altamira, through geoprocessing in the treatment of secondary information and use of geographic information system (GIS). For such, the maps were generated as geomorphology and geology of the area based on data from IBGE as well as studies already done. It was noted that this study demonstrated a good analysis of the maps generated in GIS with analysis of diverse secondary data, is suggesting a constant updating of data and monitoring to prevent the occurrence of further negative impacts in the researched area.
