Abstract

This work presents temporal analysis of dinamic land use in the basin of River São João, São Paulo State. The survey was realized through combination remote sensing and geoprocessing techniques and the model USLE (Universal Soil Loss Equation). So, it was possible to evaluate the temporal evolution land use, to characterize the natural potential to erosion, indicating adequate land use in three studied sceneries: 1962, 1972 and 1996. Through this analysis, it was verified between 1962 – 1996 there was a intensification antropic activities, as consequence expansion of agricultural activities (especially citriculture), increasing erosive processing. Key words: Land use; remote sensing; geoprocessing; erosion.
