Environmental analysis and zoning for an urban park management purpose

Environmental analysis and zoning were carried out for management purpose of the Longines Malinowski Municipal Park (LMMP). With an area of 24.85 ha, this urban park includes a patch of sub-tropical humid forest, completely surrounded by residential and commercial areas in the City of Erechim, Rio G...

description Environmental analysis and zoning were carried out for management purpose of the Longines Malinowski Municipal Park (LMMP). With an area of 24.85 ha, this urban park includes a patch of sub-tropical humid forest, completely surrounded by residential and commercial areas in the City of Erechim, Rio Grande do Sul State,Brazil. Landscape features derived from aerophotogrametric maps, based on the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS-IDRISI), resulted in several thematic maps, through which a proposal of environmental zoning was perfomed, observing the definition of five zones of use. The environmental diagnosis identified several types of activities potentially harmful to the biodiversity of the LMMP and city's environmental quality. The implementation of a management plan would be essential to maintain and preseve this urban park, aiming to ensure its participation in the urban quality of life.<br>Foram realizados a análise e o zoneamento ambiental com a finalidade do manejo do Parque Municipal Longines Malinowski (PMLM). Com 24,85 ha, este parque urbano inclui um fragmento de floresta sub-tropical úmida, completamente cercado por áreas residenciais e comerciais na cidade de Erechim, Rio Grande do Sul. As características da paisagem, obtidas de cartas aerofotogramétricas, com base no uso de Sistemas de Informações Geográficas (SIG-IDRISI), resultaram em diversas cartas temáticas, pelas quais foi efetuada uma proposta do zoneamento ambiental, observando a definição de cinco zonas de uso. O diagnóstico ambiental identificou diversos tipos de atividades potencialmente prejudiciais à biodiversidade do PMLM e à qualidade ambiental da cidade. A implementação de um plano de manejo é essencial à manutenção e à conservação deste parque urbano, assegurando sua participação na qualidade de vida urbana.
