Do diagnóstico às unidades geodinâmicas e de fragilidade ambiental: uma contribuição a educação e gestão ambientais em Veríssimo-MG

Abstract

Environmental management must be based on knowledge of the physical environment. Large cities have their policies and develop actions to equate the problem caused by different types of use of the natural environment. In smaller areas, public power finds it difficult to implement policies, or by other interests, due to lack of workers, equipment for work or lack of financial resources. The fact is that the problems related to the environment are not restricted to large cities. Verissimo also has environmental issues as critical as in any other city. This research had as the main objective the characterization and environmental analysis of the physical environment as a subsidy to the development of environmental public policies. For this analysis, we used the book Eco dynamic of Tricart (1977) as a critical source for systemic reviews and interpretation of the use of the landscape. Maps theme were developed for this research and the Geodynamic units and environmental fragility is the primary, therefore, it gathers the generated information during the search and it enables greater knowledge of the entire area of the city. For preparation of this map, relief was the main element for the distinction of magazines and geodynamic environments. Verissimo is a city which is in transition to become a highly degraded environment. It is necessary the adoption of conservation practices to change the precarious situation. Therefore, it is important to know its environment better.
