| Abstract | |
The environmental study has revealed especially in recent decades in an interdisciplinary research guided on the dynamics of natural agents face the growing pressure of space usage, embodied by conflicts of various orders, are those, historical, political, cultural, religious, in order, human relations that are structured on the territory and impose on this space several levels of interference in the natural pre-existing mechanism. In this context, understanding the relationship of human societies and nature, within an absolutely dynamic perspective that involves cultural, social, economic and natural, requires adopting an analytical procedure that takes into account the society in their various stages of development, which refers to a holistic view of space organization. Thus, the geographical science as the object of the geographic analysis, allows a critical eye on the implementation of integrated environmental studies in order to provide technical support for the development of scientific studies such as those related to environmental zoning that can be inserted on policy contributing public in planning and decision taken. Considering the above, this thesis proposes the development of an environmental zoning as support for planning the use and occupation of the coastal region of the Discovery Coast, located in the extreme south of Bahia. This proposed study is justified by three factors: (a) this region is a pioneer of the populated areas of the country, an area in which the agent acts as man-made actor in shaping the landscape for more than five centuries, (b) area has undergone significant changes in the use and occupation of land, not considering the levels of environmental fragility of the study area, which emphasizes environmental issues, and (c) the lack of studies integrating natural systems to anthropogenic systems in use in planning and occupation of the coastal region of the Discovery Coast, that the last forty years has become one of the economically most dynamic regions of the state of Bahia, and is also one of the major tourist destinations in Brazil. To achieve this goal, we adopted the methodology proposed by Rodriguez, Cavalcanti, Silva and Cavalcanti (2004), emphasizing the functional analysis of the landscape. The different economic activities implemented in the Discovery Coast Region in the last 40 years has enabled the formation of different complex environmental systems with frailties and suffering centuries of use pressures resulting in environmental problems that affect the dynamics of natural systems and also the way of life of local population (AU) | |
