URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS STARTING FROM FREQUENT CHANGES IN ECOLOGICAL ECONOMIC ZONING OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AREA AT THE LAGOAS AND DUNES OF ABAETE/ANALISE SOCIOAMBIENTAL A PARTIR DOS ZONEAMENTOS ECOLOGICO ECONOMICO DA AREA DE PROTECAO AMBIENTAL DAS LAGOAS E DUNAS DO ABAETE

Environmental Protection in urban areas suffer temporally with the growth of cities. In most cases the uncontrolled growth of cities appears as one of the agents of degradation. Understanding the dilemma of environmental degradation is the responsibility of both the citizens, government agencies such as the various productive sectors of the economy, it is important that everyone can contribute to mitigation of the impacts of their actions on the environment. Thus, this work aims to present the developments related to the changing of the Environmental Protection Area of ponds and dunes of Abaete Ecological-Economic Zoning (ZEE) from its institutionalization in 1987 The methodology included the analysis of temporal images years 1976 and 2010 this process mosaics were produced from aerial photographs which image interpretation techniques for delineation of the Environmental Protection area (APA) were applied. Later the boundaries, thematic maps that would support cross-point information that contributed to findings of changes in vegetation, in geomorphology, geology, and water balance in the cluttered urban settlements were built. It is concluded that the APA had Abaete in a period of 18 years from the APA Abaete decreased by 75.35 ha of the area and the need for efficient application of environmental education programs with all those who live and frequent the area studied.Keywords: Ecological-economic zoning (EEZ); Environmental Protection Area; Geotechnologies.As areas de Protecao Ambiental em espacos urbanos sofrem temporalmente com o crescimento das cidades. Na maioria dos casos, o crescimento desenfreado das cidades aparece como um dos agentes da degradacao. Entendendo que o dilema da degradacao ambiental e responsabilidade tanto dos cidadaos, orgaos governamentais, como de diversos setores produtivos da economia, e necessario que todos possam contribuir para diminuicao dos impactos de suas acoes no meio ambiente. Desta maneira, este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar a evolucao relacionada as mudancas do Zoneamento Ecologico Economico (ZEE) da Area de Protecao Ambiental das Lagoas e Dunas do Abaete a partir de sua institucionalizacao em 1987. A metodologia contou com a analise de imagens temporais do ano de 1976 a 2010. Neste processo foram produzidos mosaicos a partir de aerofotos aos quais foram aplicadas tecnicas de fotointerpretacao para delimitacao da Area de Protecao Ambiental (APA). Posteriormente as delimitacoes, foram construidos mapas temat
