Abstract

The functionality of the natural environment is modified by human actions in a a faster rhythm than that normally produced by nature itself. When unplanned, these changes provide a number of functional imbalances that often entail drastic consequences to human life and nature. Examples of these environmental imbalances can be viewed in most cities located along the Brazilian coast. These, in recent decades suffered from the improper implementation of new forms of use and occupation of land. Deforestation, the discharge of effluents into waterways, grounding and construction in coastal areas denounce the lack of concern for land use planning. The conductor urbanization model on the national scene, print limits the coast a secular use interface, where the process of urbanization reflected in different levels of impact on the commitment of the systemic functioning of coastal natural systems, reflecting on the maximization of flooding processes and full instability of ecosystems associated with those areas. As we consider the natural fragility framework and land use relation in the state of Bahia and more specifically in the Whale Coast Region , this research aims to collaborate with the actions of planning the use and occupation of the Coastal Whales Region, the From the systemic approach, presenting as a synthesis product a 1: 100,000 scale zoning based on the Rodriguez, Silva and Cavalcanti (2004) proposal. Under the systemic view, we tried to characterize the main existing natural systems, with a emphasis for the coastal tableland systems. Also analyzed were the anthropic systems present in the Whales Coastal Region that, when they also covered the anthropic evolution, signaled the alteration of the environment as a whole. Finally, the environmental state, environmental vulnerability and zoning proposed in this study may contribute to the land use plans and support urban and environmental planning in the area, aiming at minimizing the negative environmental impact, of the search by a development compatible with the anthropic needs and the balance of the present environmental systems (AU)
