O uso da terra e as modificações de paisagem nos municípios de Antonina e Paranaguá - PR, ao longo dos anos de 1985 a 2020

Abstract

The municipalities of Antonina and Paranaguá are located in the coastal zone of the state of Paraná, an area of extreme vulnerability when considering its environmental fragility and economic importance, in view of the installed port complex. Thus, the present work aimed to analyze the environmental impact on the landscapes of the municipalities of Antonina and Paranaguá, through the occurrence of land use classes and their respective alterations. As for land use classes, in Antonina forest formation and wooded sandbank predominate, while in Paranaguá the water class comprising river, lake and ocean, followed by wooded sandbank and forest formation. Considering landscape modifications, in Antonina 41% were reforestation, in Paranaguá deforestation predominated, with 42% of modifications. Despite the landscape alterations, no impacts related to the fragmentation of natural landscapes were identified. The results obtained in the present work point to the evolution of land use due to the impact of anthropic pressure on natural environments. Furthermore, it was not possible to relate the direct impact of port activities on the landscape, but indirectly, through factors resulting from it.
