Abstract

Among the natural landscapes in coastal regions, the mangrove represents a type of ecosystem frequently invaded by human actions inside urban areas. GIS (Geographic Information Systems) techniques appear as important elements for detecting the problems and analysis of urban soil occupation changes in landscapes. This paper presents an example of the use of GIS regarding the occupation of green areas of mangrove in Ilhéus – BA, in order to study a specific neighborhood of the town, where landscape changes have suffered a strong impact in the last decades.
