DINAMICA TEMPORAL DO USO E COBERTURA DA TERRA NO MUNICÍPIO DE MIRANDA-MS UTILIZANDO MAPBIOMAS

Abstract

The municipality of Miranda - Mato Grosso do Sul covers a territorial extension of 5,471.436km² located at latitude 200 14'26" South and longitude 56º22'42" West is located in a transition area between the Cerrado and the Pantanal, possessing a biodiversity abundant and complex socio-environmental dynamics. The present work aims to examine the temporal evolution of Land Use and Coverage in the municipality in the years 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020 and measure changes in the territory using the MapBiomas platform and Qgis software. The results showed a significant reduction in forest formations, with an increase in areas destined for pastures and soybean and rice cultivation, reflecting anthropogenic pressures associated with agricultural expansion, generating socio-environmental impacts, reducing biodiversity and threats to native species of the Pantanal. The study emphasizes the importance of environmental planning combined with the use of geotechnologies to mitigate environmental impacts and ensure biodiversity and territorial sustainability considering the region's social and environmental challenges.
