Análise do uso e ocupação do solo no médio curso da Bacia do Rio Apodi Mossoró - RN. 2022. 79 f. Monografia (Graduação) - Departamento de Geografia, Bacharelado em Geografia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2022.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/48876The use and occupation adopted by society has caused great tensions when it comes to natural resources, the disorderly growth of cities brings up the need for more economic activities and greater use of resources, in this way, studies that analyze the landscape in an integral way., uniting society and nature become increasingly common. The adoption of the hydrographic basin as a category of analysis allows us to understand how human dynamics are acting in the natural environment. In this study, the middle course of the Apodi Mossoró river basin was analyzed from the considerations posed by the geoecology of landscapes through the use of geotechnologies. The main objective of the research was to identify and analyze the different uses and occupation in the middle course of the Apo-di Mossoró river basin, using remote sensing and GIS tools. The data collected for the study area were made at a scale of 1:250000, considering the data available on the platforms and the extension of the region. These data comprise the factors of natural and anthropic formation, which culminated in the assertive interpretation of land use and occupation classes. The mapping of use and occupation was performed at a scale of 1:100000 from the collection of LANDSAT 8 images with a resolution of 30m per pixel. Six classes were highlighted: Agriculture (615.1km²), water (154km²), urban area (63.3km²), pasture (1011.5km²), exposed soil (2185.1km²) and vegetation (6184.5km²) . The results obtained showed that the study area still kills 60% of its native vegetation, and only 38% of the anthropic area, demonstrating the need for continuous monitoring through geotechnologies, in order to maintain the natural resources in a positive way in view of anthropic actions.Bacia Hidrográfica; Uso e cobertura do solo; Geotecnologias.Hydrographic basin; Land use and cover; Geotechnologies.Análise do uso e ocupação do solo no médio curso da Bacia do Rio Apodi Mossoró - RNAnalysis of land use and occupation in the middle course of the Apodi Mossoró River Basin - RNbachelorThesis
