Abstract

The temporal mapping of land use/cover permits to obtain data on the dynamics of change of the countryside, therefore such information may assist in the analysis of environmental change. In this context, this study sought to analyze the changes in land use/cover in the basin of the Rio Vieira, the last 25 years, whose analysis periods were defined in 1985, 1995 and 2010. From an operational standpoint, the runtime of the methodology used, since the acquisition of the orbital products to validate the mappings, was relatively short. Fact that deserves attention, especially because it allowed the development of a wide range of temporal information River basin Vieira. Highlighting a recovery of 54.79 km ² of natural vegetation.
