Expansão urbana da região metropolitana de Goiânia e os impactos sobre os recursos hídricos

Resumo

The urban areas expansion in a disorganized way, is a problem that has caused major disruptions due to severe damage to the health and population welfare, as well as material damages. Brazil has few initiatives in urban planning, resulting in urbanized areas expansion in an uncontrolled manner, causing major environmental impacts. The municipality of Goiânia had its urban area almost doubled in 25 years period. This increase accelerated the growth of neighboring towns and in 1999 was created the Metropolitan Region of Goiânia (MRG). Despite the urban space occupation over time is complex, it is now easily evaluated with the aid of science, technology and techniques correlated to the GIS. Therefore, this study sought to answer questions about the urban areas expansion of MRG, using landscape dynamics modeling techniques, and assessing the main environmental impacts caused by this expansion, in past times, and in the future. In a second stage, we mapped the impervious areas in Goiânia, processing a dataset obtained by laser scanning and aerial photographs. The methodology proved feasible, especially the low cost involved throughout the data processing. The results indicated the urbanization rate of MRG and allowed the mapping of the expansion in the coming years. As a result of the mapping of land use conducted through satellite images, for the years 1989, 2000 and 2011, we observed a considerable increase in MRG urban spots, with area more than doubled since 1989. Already with the information obtained by landscape dynamic modeling, we found that for the year 2060, the SenadorCanedo urban area present a significant growth, and that MRG will increase by approximately 21% their urban areas . Regarding the environmental impacts of this urban expansion, we found that both in Goiânia, as MRG, this expansion has affected, and may still affect quite important, the catchment area of public water supply of the cities, and other areas with high environmental vulnerability, or permanent preservation in accordance with environmental legislation. Finally, the study presents two maps in A1 format, which show the urban expansion in the MRG and in the Goiás state capital, along with the environmental vulnerability areas, and permanent preservation, which should be fully protected and monitored in the coming years.
