Análise da vulnerabilidade ambiental de Caravelas (BA)

Abstract

Coastal regions, such as Caravelas in Bahia, exhibit a wide variety of landscapes influenced by factors such as latitude, geology, oceanographic characteristics, climate, rivers, and the diversity of soil, fauna, and flora. This complexity requires careful management, especially considering that a large part of the Brazilian population lives in coastal areas. This project aims to study the Environmental Vulnerability of Caravelas, a municipality facing specific challenges due to its natural configuration and land use. The objective is to identify areas with higher and lower environmental vulnerability using the methodology of Nascimento and Domingues (2009). The result will be a detailed map at a 1:100,000 scale, serving as a tool for territorial planning and management. The study will provide valuable information to enhance land use plans and environmental planning in Caravelas, contributing to the reduction of environmental impacts and promoting more sustainable management of natural resources.
