Abstract

This work introduce the mapping and interpretation of the evolution of the land use of the district of Guamaré (RN), based on a methodology for the interpretation multitemporal, in SIG. The methodology used for the analysis multitemporal for interpretation of the evolution of the land use was verified of great efficiency. Three years were considered: 1989, 1996 and 2001. The period from 1996 to 2001 was what verified a more significant alteration in the land use. Besides the conversion of the tanks of salt activities in shrimp cultivation, the largest observed transformation is due to the settlement appearance in areas of shut caatinga vegetation. The decrease and increase dynamics of the mangroves areas seems to be more influenced by natural that human factor. The presence of the pole petroliferous of Guamaré didn’t demonstrate direct influence on the land use municipal dynamics. The local economy seems more affected by variable macro economies. Key-words: multitemporal analysis, land use, geographical information system, remote sensing.
