Proposal of environmental zoning for the municipal district of Caraguatatuba-SP

The municipal district of Caraguatatuba always presented a diversity of land use and occupation, which resulted in several levels of impacts modifying the natural dynamics along the years. This paper proposes the implementation of a space pattern that takes into account a special structure of land management that is coherent with the local potentialities and limitations. Considering the need of using the resources and services, once they happen in a rational way, the goal is to find the dynamics stability of the systems, through the limitation of degradading environmental processes. Using the methodology of Landscape Geoecology proposed by Rodriguez et. al. (2004) and considering the applied legislation, it is presented a proposal of an Environmental Zoning in scale 1:50.000
