Abstract

Abstract

The present work is related to the studies of landscape dynamics and aims to carry out a multitemporal analysis of land use and occupation in the municipality of Mossoró, over a period of 20 years, in order to contribute to environmental planning and land use planning. The methodological procedures are based on bibliographical research, remote sensing techniques in Geographic Information Systems environment and multitemporal landscape analysis. The results allowed the spatialization of 13 classes of land use and occupation in the town and the understanding of their evolution over the analyzed period. It was possible to identify that the main changes are associated with the performance of anthropogenic agents and the productive dynamics of the municipality. The results obtained allow wide application in the area of environmental planning, land use planning and environmental management at the municipal level in order to promote sustainable development, as well as serving as a basis for other related studies related to the landscape and environment of the study area.
