A aplicação da metodologia GTP (geossistema, território e paisagem) como subsídio à compreensão dos conflitos socioambientais na região da Serra do Cabral (MG)

Abstract

Serra do Cabral is a geomorphological feature of the Minas Gerais, Brazil, relief that preserves environmental resources of great relevance for conservation. Endemic and endangered species of fauna and flora, as the presence of archaeological sites have motivated the creation of Protected Areas in the region. Despite this, there is a lack of integrated studies in Serrado Cabral that focus on the environmental problem expressed in the dichotomy preservation X economic exploitation. Thus, the present study will seek to analyze the Serra do Cabral in an integrated way, using the methodology proposed by Bertrand (2009) called the GTP System (Geosystem, Territory and Landscape), in which the Geosystem allows the analysis of the natural environment anthropized, the Territory represents the socioeconomic way and the Landscape the sociocultural bias. The objective of this spatial analysis of Serra do Cabral is to promote reflections on the complexity of the environmental issue in the region, which involves the exploration of the natural environment (Geosystem) motivated by socioeconomic (Territory) and cultural (Landscape) issues.
