Abstract

The Pantanal of Nhecolândia is a sub-region of the Brazilian Pantanal whose socioenvironmental dynamics is marked by cattle breeding and the geosystemic relationships of humid areas, while also being an active depositional environment. The aim of the present study was to analyze the landscape dynamics of the Pantanal of Nhecolândia using the tripolar GTP method (geosystem, territory and landscape). To this end, land use and cover were analyzed during the rainy and dry seasons of 1987, 1995, 2005, and 2017, and the data were submitted to the techniques of Map Algebra, generating maps depicting seasonal spatio-temporal (SST)and historical spatio-temporal (HST) changes, which, respectively, illustrate the spatial changes caused by seasonal flooding and those resulting from the socio-environmental dynamics over the 30-year period (1987-2017). Analysis of the socioenvironmental conditions enabled the development of socio-environmental zoning and led to proposals for managing the four established zones: High Nhecolândia, Taquari-Negro, Low Nhecolândia, and Low Taquari.

Keywords: Taquari Megafan. Land Use and Cover. Socio-Environmental Zoning.
