Análise geoambiental do mirante do marco geodésico na borda da Chapada dos Guimarães - MT

Abstract

This research aimed to contribute to the conservation of the edge of Chapada dos Guimarães, and reflect on the need for alternative use in places of tourist attraction in the region. Thus, it was understood that through a geo-environmental study would be possible to effectively contribute to better knowledge of the site. The project is designed to be executed in 18 months between the years 2012 and 2014 had as its main objective, perform a geo-environmental analysis by identifying the soil cover and erosion processes on slopes, as well as their relationships with their water behavior , topography and substrate rocky, to characterize the different behaviors of local and present subsidies and criteria for the development of a management plan for the site. The research focused on the “Lookout Marco Geodésico em Chapada dos Guimarães-MT”, where 05 steps field for the recognition of local and delineation of the field, and realization of topossequence observation and characterization of the erosive processes were performed. The set of information obtained by direct observations during field work combined with theoretical basis adopted, allowed understanding the impacts of human actions accelerating the natural dynamic processes of surface, often in association with concentrated surface water flow as factors generating erosions. In the case study of the Lookout, it was observed that the lack of planning contributes to the dynamic balance of the environment. 03 major erosion events were identified: one in the main local tourist track, two in thalw
