Planejamento da paisagem no município de Areado, sul de Minas Gerais: uma proposta a partir da concepção geossistêmica

Abstract

The landscape presents multiple conceptual developments, thus, the landscape with regard to its dynamics, structure, functionality, represents itself as a complex system, an integrator with multiple systemic relationships between the different elements which form it. For this, it is required in this context a theoretical-methodological assumption which comprehends the landscape in its entirety. In this way, the geosystem according to a Russian Soviet conception, understood as a natural system that performs systemic connections with the socioeconomic sphere shows itself a more relevant concept in understanding the landscape as a natural complex. In this sense, it is aimed through this theoretical-methodological conception, to interpret the landscape in its integrity in the municipality of Areado-MG, that through the interrelation of its elements, is going to be defined an environmental zoning proposition as a contribution to the planning. Therefore, it was necessary under this theoretical support, to explain the landscape and its developments from the system perspective, such as associating such reflection in planning about the use of environmental heritage, conceived in full through the theoretical-methodological conception of geosystems. Thereby, it was required to the physical characterization of the municipality the survey of the cartographic database in general on the scale of 1/50000 which geomorphological compartmentalization generally based on the proposal by Nunes et al. (1995) and others. Those presented themselves as supports for the definition of landscape units characterized according to the geosystemic approach in correspondence to their topological level. Within that, the integrated comprehension of all these information was essentially fundamental for the realization of environmental zoning, where it was defined the usage skills and restrictions on environmental heritage. Thus, it is possible to verify that the geosystemic approach is vital to understanding the landscape in its entirety, manifesting, as a result, appropriate proposals within applied physical geography with planning bias in the use of the varied resources of the environmental heritage in line with the development of the society.
