Abstract

The goal of this research is to understand the landscape evolution and dynamics in Parque Estadual Turístico do Alto Ribeira through the study of the interactions of the elements in three analysis categories: Geosystems, Territory and Landscape, a theoretical tripod proposed by Bertrand (2007) for the study of the geographical spaces. The integrated analysis of such factors include elements of the physical environment as well as the anthropic ones (economic and cultural), and will, ultimately, allow us to evaluate in which degree the occupation and exploitation of the natural resources is conditioned by the physical aspects of the environment and why the historical evolution of the uses of the land were never able to translate into social and economic development. The conclusions will be confronted with the guidelines established by the park´s management plan, proposed in 2010 and currently under analysis at Consema. (AU)
