PORT DYNAMICS IN THE AMAZONCHANGES IN USE AND LAND COVER IN THE ÁREA VERDE NEIGHBORHOOD IN SANTARÉM (PA)

Resumo

The municipality of Santarém, west of Pará, area of ​​influence of the federal highway BR-163 (Cuiabá-Santarém), has been consolidating itself as one of the main outlets for the flow of grains via ports to the international market. In this process, there is a reorganization of urban space to meet this demand, especially in neighborhoods such as Área Verde, affected by the increase in port activity in recent years. This spatial area is located in the east of the city, limited in its northeast portion by the Amazon River and to the east by the floodplain of Maicá Lake. In this context, this work aims to analyze the relationship between port expansion and changes in land use and coverage in the neighborhood in question between 2002 and 2022. To this end, in addition to the bibliographical, cartographic survey and documentary analysis on port dynamics in the Amazon, geoprocessing techniques such as the supervised classification of images obtained through Google Earth from the years 2002, 2014 and 2022, using the Quantum GIS software. Thus, three classes of land use and cover were determined: vegetation cover, disturbed area and hydrography. In response, the most representative class in the neighborhood is vegetation cover, followed by the anthropized area class, which showed an increase in the analyzed period, but with a significant reduction in the hydrography class in the same period. Changes in land use and coverage in the Área Verde neighborhood arise from port expansion in the region, which demands greater participation from public authorities in terms of management and planning of these spaces.
