Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze the current situation and define design guidelines for the landscape revitalization of sand holes located at Iguassu River Basin in Curitiba’s Metropolitan Region (RMC). The location at a water source area involved the analysis of restrictive environmental factors. Another issue was the RMC diagnosis from socioeconomic aspects, particularly about the process of illegal occupation. The revitalization proposal of the studied area is directly related to the characterization of water stored in the sand holes, which was based on limnological assessment of nine samples collected from April 2008 to November 2009. The analysis used parameters defined by the 357/2005 Resolution of Environmental National Council. The result was a proposal organized into six main sectors: controlled mining; damping; public recreation; environmental research and education; riparian vegetation recovery; constructed wetlands.
