O uso das Geotecnologias como ferramenta de apoio no Planejamento e Gestão territorial: Um estudo de caso em Capanema, Pará, Brasil.

Abstract

The use of geotechnologies currently stands out as an essential tool for territorial planning and management. The study is being conducted in the municipality of Capanema, located in the Caeté River integration region, in the Northeast of Pará, Brazil. This research highlights, through a cartographic analysis, the potential of these technologies to optimize territorial administration and monitor population growth, both in urban and rural contexts. In addition, it seeks to demonstrate how the application of tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing and thematic maps can improve the understanding of spatial and environmental dynamics, promoting sustainable and efficient development in the region. To achieve these objectives, spatial, comparative and temporal analyses of land use and land cover in the municipality were carried out, integrating data obtained and socio-environmental, primary and secondary information. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of geotechnologies in identifying changes in land use, monitoring permanent preservation areas (APPs) and delimiting priority zones for urban and rural development. It is concluded that the adoption of these technologies in the territorial planning of Capanema can not only optimize the management of natural resources and strengthen environmental sustainability, but also boost the integrated development of the region, enhancing its economic and cultural potential, especially in tourism.
