| description | The study of the environment requires the search for tools to integrate the various elements of physical, chemical and biological with the social and economic aspects of places. The environmental problems are increasingly complex and therefore cannot be analyzed separately from the forces that produce them. From this perspective, this article aims to indicate the main aspects from the integrated mapping of environmental data related to the municipality of Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. The methodology for preparing the map and other elements in the proposal was based on the mapping of the environmental working group "Environment Mapping and its dynamics," created by the International Geographical Union (IGU) and chaired by André Journaux, University of Caen, France, between 1976 and 1984. This proposal came up with the ultimate goal of a broad public awareness about the environmental situation of a given area, as well as support decision making through integrated planning, which took into account the natural and essential elements of the environment (soil, water and air) and human action (past and present). In the case of Porto Alegre, were compiled from various sources the data on the topography, the hydrology, climatic conditions, to build and cultivate spaces and green areas, besides the studies that addressed the degradation of its elements. The storage, processing, and output data were performed using application specific computational manipulation of geographic information - Geographic Information System (GIS). Besides the methodological aspect of the mapping, are also presented spatially, some dynamics observed from the integration of environmental data, particularly with respect to the major problems of environmental degradation occurring in the city, the recent characterization of urban expansion and the importance of green areas. |
