Landscape Dynamics of the Apeú River Basin

This work deals with the relationships that exist in land use and occupation, based on social and spatial changes that occur over time in a watershed in the northeastern region of Par . Geotechnology based on satellite image classification was used as a tool for analyzing the processes that surround this type of ecosystem, to help understand the patterns of transformations in vegetation cover and the impacts generated by different types of use in permanent preservation areas, which in turn are endowed with special management conditions, legally recognized by the Brazilian Forest Code. The research is the result of a Master's Degree in Forestry Sciences, in the area of Forest Management, presented to the Federal Rural University of Amazonia.
