Analysis of environmental transformations in the environment of the Lajeado State Park, Palmas - Tocantins

Abstract

The research consists of the analysis of the transformations of land use occurred between 2000 and 2015 in the surroundings of the State Park of Lajeado, located in the municipality of Palmas, capital of the state of Tocantins, taking as reference the observation of the interference of the different Forms of occupation installed there. In order to reach the proposed objective, Geoprocessing and Remote Sensing techniques were used to organize a database using the Spring software of the National Institute of Space Research (INPE) and the interpretation of images of the Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 satellites, supported by Fieldwork. The results show that urban sprawl and large-scale agriculture are primarily responsible for the significant transformation of the natural aspects of the area.
