Contribuições aos estudos de fragilidade ambiental no parque zoobotânico arruda câmara, João Pessoa - PB.

Abstract

The work deals with the study of environmental fragility Arruda Câmara Zoobotanic Park (PZBAC), located in the city of João Pessoa - PB, by using geoprocessing techniques. Studies of environmental fragility grounded on the principle that nature has intrinsic functionality between physical components, biotic and socio-economic. Thus, the methodology used is based on the integrated analysis of the physical variables of the park (slope, soils, and land use), which was formed by weighting values to thematic classes, then the intersection of the data. As a computational tool for data processing used the Geographic Information System, and as a method of data crossing the language map algebra. The results were satisfactory in front of the modeling methodology and efficiency through the geoprocessing. With work, it is concluded that the analysis of environmental enables better understanding of the processes associated working area, and identifying the most likely environmental degradation, so that contributes to the management area, regulating uses directing forms management, forecasting future scenarios, adopting conservation policies.
