Parque Ecológico da Nascença em Itapororoca-PB: Um plano de paisagem sob o olhar da ética ambiental

Abstract

The Nascença Ecological Park is located in the municipality of Itapororoca-PB, inserted in a potential Conservation Unit. The place is home to intense commerce and activity, is home to the water source that supplies the city and is surrounded by monocultures. The aim of the work is to develop a landscape plan for the park and its surroundings from the perspective of environmental ethics, promoting the mitigation of anthropogenic actions occurring in the area. To this end, a bibliographical research was developed to understand legislation and concepts applicable in the area, as well as an analysis of case studies and field visits to prepare the diagnosis. The area was mapped using geoprocessing and remote sensing techniques with the help of QGIS 3.22 Software. When analyzing the data, it was found that 41.4% of the surrounding area within a radius of 1 km is made up of monocultures, especially sugar cane, in addition to the fragmentation of green patches, making the transfer of species difficult. Such findings compromise the balance of the ecosystem and the quality of water resources. Thus, the importance of having landscape planning for the restructuring of the Nascença Ecological Park becomes clear.
