Analysis of areas vulnerable to anthropic pressures of the Tinguá biological reserve-RJ
Vulnerability. Rebio Tingua. Environmental legislation
The conservation units are protected spaces that are under constant pressure possessing a historical intimately linked environmental impacts. As are also of paramount importance for the preservation of large forest fragments as is the case of the biological reserve of Tinguá, which together with other conservation units form the mosaic of the Central-Fluminense Atlantic Forest and the biodiversity corridor of Serra do Mar. The aim of this study is to analyze vulnerable areas by anthropic pressures through the use of geotechnologies and records of infractions in the context of the Tinguá Biological Reserve, as well as in its damping zone. Thus, contributing to the construction of an analysis through the construction of a mapping of the areas vulnerable to anthropic pressures. The guiding concepts of the study address landscape, integral Protection Unit, current environmental legislations, which served as a basis for using spatial statistics, geoprocessing, remote sensing, Landscape metrics. The methodology made possible the evaluation of the areas within the limits of the Tinguá Biological Reserve, being possible to obtain the perception that the areas with anthropic pressures are distributed mostly on the edges, close to the damping zone and pathways that serve to Operation of the undertakings, of public utility, within the reserve. The mapping was validated is indicated percentage values of 63% and 23% for the average and high probability of the area, respectively, delimited as a vulnerable area to occur a new infraction.
