Análise temporal do uso e cobertura da terra, na terra indígena do Guarita, norte do RS

Abstract

Remote Sensing has proven to be an important implement in helping to monitor and preserve areas such as indigenous reserves. By obtaining land use and land cover data provided by the MapBiomas project, morphometric data such as the declivity and the digital elevation model, and the type of soil present in the study area, using processing software such as QGIS, it is possible to analyze an area in a certain period of time, and understand how some processes of evolution occur, some natural and others through the influence of man. About 14% of the national territory is made up of indigenous reserves, the indigenous land of Guarita, located in the northwest region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, is the largest indigenous reserve in the state, which includes two indigenous peoples, the Kaigang and Guarani, having the largest contingent of the Kaigang people in Brazil, has been suffering a great influence of nonindigenous people in their culture.
