O sistema GTP (Geossistema – Território – Paisagem) no município de Arcos – MG [manuscrito] : uma análise da paisagem.

Abstract

The planning of land uses that considers the constituent elements of a landscape jointly can culminate in a better rationality of space use and resources, which ultimately minimizes negative impacts on the environment and the human being. Thus, it is relevant to refill possible gaps existing in the planning models adopted in Brazilian municipalities, which sometimes analyze urban-environmental environment in a dissociated manner. It is considered, therefore, that the applicability of the GTP (Geosystem - Territory – Landscape) method on a municipal level enriches analyses and reflections on the aspects of the landscape that permeate nature and society acting as an integrator path. This work has as its general objective the geosystemic analysis of the landscape of the municipality of Arcos - MG. As specific objectives we tried: - Identify and characterize geocomplexes in order to diagnose stages of biostasy and/or rhesistasy of the environment; - Characterize the landscape of geofácies / scenarios seeking to understand the socio-environmental dynamics of the territory; - Subsidize future socio-environmental studies aimed at the planning, management and planning of the municipal territory. The method adopted for the analysis of the landscape of the municipality of Arcos is an adaptation of the System (Geosystem - Territory – Landscape) of Bertrand and Bertrand (2007), through the identification and characterization, in a first moment of geocomplexes and phases of biostasy and/or rhesistasy. The stages for the preparation of the study formed methods in the field, such as the registration of the landscape which were organized in geofácies / scenarios, research with the population and public agencies; office methods relying on systematization and organization of information based on the reading, writing and use of GIS - Geographic Information Systems. Three geocomplexes were identified in the municipality of Arcos: Depressão em carste associado a zona de agricultura; Planalto com afloramentos calcários associados a Mata Seca; e Planalto de morros de topos côncavos e convexos associado a Cerrado. And were defined mainly from the rural and urban interface proving more noticeable in the vegetation. A cohesive connection was also observed between the three geocomplexes identified in the municipality of Arcos and the geofácies / scenarios representing the landscape observed in the field. As a perspective for landscape studies in the area of geography, it is understood that the methods that consider society and nature in an integrated way generate dialogues and more coherent results in relation to their dynamics, since their constituent elements are part of the same panorama that corresponds to a dynamic formed by differentiated gears in their temporalities and spatialitys.
