Diagnóstico ambiental do distrito de Forte de Coimbra-MS

Abstract

The district of Forte de Coimbra is the oldest locality in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, founded in 1775, and currently has 35 resident families. In recent years, there has been a strong process of population evasion resulting mainly from the deactivation of the 3rd Company of the Coimbra Fort, a military unit of the Brazilian Army, which was restructured into a Special Border Platoon in 2017.This situation has imposed new challenges to the economic, social and historical-cultural maintenance of the community, which motivates the need to design new alternatives for its development, based on planning policies. In this sense, the present work had as its objective the organization of an environmental diagnosis for the district of Forte de Coimbra-MS. For this purpose, the methodology employed was based on the use of geotechnology resources and field surveys, which allowed the characterization of the current reality of the locality, in order to propose guidelines and actions for its sustainable development. As a result, environmental mappings of the area called Landscape Surroundings of the Coimbra Fort were produced in the themes geology, geomorphology, soil, altitude, vegetation, use and occupation of the soil and areas of historical and cultural interest. Finally, a synthesis of the diagnosis was produced, organized in a conditioning matrix, containing the environmental variables that interfere in the reality of the place, constituting a subsidy to the formulation of propositions about guidelines, measures and strategies for future planning for the district.
