| Popis: | The present research is developed with the purpose of analyzing the feasibility of implementing ecological corridors in the Island of Maranhão, using techniques related to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The feasibility study consisted of overlapping thematic maps, elaborated from the delimitation of land use and occupation (environmental variables), which are considered as landscape units. For this purpose, the multi-criteria method was used. Hierarchical Analysis Process based on techniques linked to the Geographic Information System - GIS. In order to correlate socio-environmental indicators that influence and characterize landscape dynamics and the quality of life of protect areas. Based on these procedures, it was possible to measure the viability of the implementation of three ecological corridors connecting the Conservation Units - UC's of the Island of Maranhão. Thus, the present research reflects the need to implement specific interventions that allow actions that can encompass all areas protected. |
