A COMPARTIMENTAÇÃO DO PARQUE NATURAL MUNICIPAL DE JACARENEMA SEGUNDO A HIERARQUIA DA PAISAGEM PROPOSTA POR BERTRAND

Abstract

The coastal zone receive serious environmental, social and economic damages due to its intense occupation. Coastal areas, which are extremely valuable for their resources and logistics, are densely populated. The Jacarenema Municipal Natural Park (PNMJ) is located on the east coast of the municipality of Vila Velha and has been under heavy pressure from the urbanization process. The lack of more relevant data on the importance of the maintenance of this park and the absence of information that inserts it within a systemic approach were the main reasons that inspired this article. The focus here will be to describe the distribution and the current state of conservation of the geofacies (level of the hierarchy of the landscape proposed by Bertrand) taking also into account the evolution of the occupation of the area around the Park, that is, what should be its buffer zone.
