| Abstract | |
The Law No. 12,651/2012 brought changes to the widths of riparian Permanent Preservation Areas (PPAs) to be restored, which now also depend on the size of the rural property in fiscal modules, which in turn, varies depending on the municipality. Because of this, defining the environmental liabilities of these PPAs is complex, requiring geoprocessing procedures and information that are not always readily available. To automate the identification of these areas to be restored, the restauraRapp package was created, which presents a set of functions for automating four steps of the procedure: I) Data acquisition; II) Classification of property sizes; III) Processing information on land use and cover data in riparian areas; IV) Cartographical and tabular output generation. This package can support landscape planning focused on the restoration of riparian PPAs, potentially assisting NGOs, municipality governments and landowners. (AU) | |
