Abstract

Different forms of interference occurring in the natural environment result from the relationship between man and nature, which in an unequally way, can be justified by the constant search for new resources aimed at the man's survival. The various changes and aggression imposed on the environment have been caused negative impacts on the ecosystem, leaving him vulnerable, being Unable to resist or recover the many abrupt changes. In recent years, the concern for the preservation of natural resources, soil and water has increased significantly. The intensification of studies in these areas is necessary to try to minimize the impacts of human actions on the environment. In view of these considerations, this project aims to evaluate the environmental vulnerability of Itirapina-SP, due to the relationship of their physical characteristics with the uses and land cover present in 2006 and 2016.
