Presentation
• Brazil is a Southamerican country crossed by the
Equator in the North and the Tropic of Capricorn in
the South. The rainfall ranges from 4000mm in the
coast of
São Paulo and Amazon to 400mm in the
semi-arid in the Northeast.
• The relief is represented by plateaus, river plains and
scarps along the coast.
Environmental recorrent problems
Landslides
Urban Floods
Urban Landslides
Pluvial erosion
LANDSLIDES
• Natural causes- High and concentrated rainfall in the summer 100mm/72h
January and February – 500 to 800mm - High declivity of slopes – from 15 to 35° • Human causes
- deforestation of high declivity slopes - Irregular urban occupation of slopes
FLOODS
• Natural causes
1.Reliefs of rivers and streams marginal plains 2.High rainfall concentrated in the summer anual total – 1200 to 1500mm
70% concentrated in the spring and summer • Human causes
- Paving and urban building - Low quantity of green áreas
Mapping methodology
• The relief analysis focused on the geomorphologic application.
• Its base comes from Grigoriev (1968), Tricart (1977, 1992), Ab'Saber (1969), Mecerjakov & Gerasimov (1968) and Ross (1992, 1994, 2006).
Environmental Units
•In this context, it reaches a set of environmental units or landscapes, due to the arrangement of variables from natural environment.
•In each of these sets parameters are established or several levels of environmental fragilities/potentialities.
Fragility and Potentiality of Land Forms
Integrated studies of a given area require an understanding about the dynamic function of the natural environment with or without the human intervention.
The different natural environments found on the earth surface result from different exchange of energy and matter between the components.
Basis for Environmental Analysis of
Fragilities/Potentialities
The empirical analysis of fragilities/potentialities generate thematic cartographic products of geomorphology, geology, pedology, climatology,
hidrology, land use and vegetation.
Fragilities of the Standards of Relief Dissection (roughness)
For studies of medium and small scales of 1:100.000, 1:250.000, 1:500.000, it is used as a morphometric reference the Dissection Indicators Matrix, Ross (1992), based on the ratio of drainage density/dimension inter fluvial average for dissection in the horizontal plane and in degrees of deepening the drainage channels for dissection in the vertical plane.
The fragilities to the variable Soils:
The criteria used for the variable soil passes through the characteristics of texture, structure, plasticity, level of cohesion of the particles and depth / thickness of surface and subsurface horizons.
The fragilities to the variable Rainfall
The criteria used for the variable rainfall considers it annual totals and monthly distribution
The Fragilities Classes for Vegetation Covering and Land
Use
The analysis of soil protection by vegetable covering involves the construction of the map of Land Use and Vegetable Covering.
In the urban areas it is necessary to distinguish the patterns of urbanization.
Conclusion
association of variables and parameters
From the list of relief variables (morphology and morphometry), rocks, soils, climate (rainfall), land use, vegetation covering is established the classification of the potential and emerging fragility from the association of Arabic digits .
Thus way, the numerical association represents a digit for the relief (1 to 5) other for the soils (from 1 to 5), other for the degree of soil protection by vegetation (natural or cultivated) (1 to 5), another one for the weather/rainfall (1 to 5).
So, there are Arabic sets of four digits, which combine with each other, numbers from 1 to 5, that can have areas with values of type 1111, 1215, among others and reaching the highest value 5555, where all the variables are absolutely unfavorable.
