Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the situation of the Permanent Preservation Areas (APP) in the surrounding areas of rivers, with regard to their condition of preservation, and to verify the relation of this fact to the flooding events caused by intense rainfalls, using as an example the Macrozona 9 in Campinas - SP (MZ-9). This study involved the identification of the amount of flooding events which occurred by Basic Territorial Unit (UTB) in MZ-9, between 1980 and 2007, the delimitation and classification of APP, the elaboration of the Information Plan about the situation of APP, occurrences of flooding events by UTB and an analysis of how the municipal government deals with these issues related to the impacts of the rainfalls. The results show that mainly in sections where the APP are degraded, there is much more occurrence related to flooding, which reinforces the importance of Local Plans of Management to propose guidelines and measurements to reduce and solve such as these ones.
