Uso e Ocupação do Solo e a Influência dos Assentamentos de Reforma Agrária no Município de Goiás/GO.

Abstract

The advancement of the agricultural frontier is identified as one of the main causes of deforestation and the process of anthropization in Brazilian biomes. In this context, marked by the growing expansion of agricultural activity, there is a need for new studies related to land use and occupation. The advancement of technology and the help of geoprocessing tools have made it easier to monitor and monitor these changes. This work aims to analyze land use and occupation in the municipality of Goiás/GO and in two Settlement Projects, with a time window of 36 years, between 1985 and 2021, using maps from MapBiomas. Using QGIS software, 6 different classes were analyzed (Forest, Non-Forest Natural Formation, Agriculture, Pasture, Non-Vegetable Area and Water Bodies). Among the results, it stands out that the Forest class was the one that lost the smallest area, 23% of its total area, followed by agriculture, which lost 57% of its original area, and the pasture class grew 61%. In general, the settlements had similar behavior to the municipality of Goiás, with growth in pastures and reduction in native vegetation.
