Mapeamento e análise geoecológica de ambientes urbanos: estudo de caso do Parque Municipal Buritis Sebastião Júlio de Aguiar (Goiânia/GO)

Abstract

The humid areas of the Cerrado located in urban areas, face intense process of degradation and exploitation. Such environments are sensitive and important for biodiversity, water regulation and microclimate and in Goiânia, capital of the state of Goiás, partially protected in urban parks, but the process of implementation of the parks are historically accompanied by intense real estate pressure and waterproofing, which affect the hydrological dynamics of the paths. The objective of this research was to evaluate and analyze the geoecological changes in the use and occupation of the landscape in the Buritis stream basin, which is characterized by presenting in its source a remnant of humid areas that wasprivate transformed into Buritis Sebastião Júlio de Aguiar Municipal Park. The methodological procedures involved bibliographical research, cartographic mapping, analysis of dynamics of use in satellite images and technical visits to classify land use and cover and evaluate environmental impacts and elaborate the geoecological profile of the Buritis stream basin. The results show a significant reduction of vegetation cover and land use changes between 2016 and 2025 and that the wetland is not protected in the park area because, identified impacts such as burning, waste release and environmental degradation, reinforcing the need for public policies aimed at the preservation, recovery and sustainable management of these fragile urban environments.
