Abstract
This work consists of the application of a new geomorphological mapping methodology with a focus on anthropogenic landforms. The study area is the central sector of the metropolitan region of Joao Pessoa, where densely urbanized areas and rural areas are found, but with high human intervention. The geomorphological mapping methodology proposed in this work was developed from Brazilian, English, and Italian experiences and included extensive field trips. The result was quite satisfactory where the final map represents from the present geological foundation (morphostructure) to the current anthropogenic landforms. A broad and integrated legend representing all mapped taxa was also proposed. The geomorphological map produced, in addition to being a synthesis of the geomorphological research carried out, is an important tool for urban and environmental planning.
期刊介绍:
The Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia are focused on research, analysis and application of knowledge for the development of models of large sets of relief; fluvial dynamics; the processes of aspects, such as erosion and mass movements and their impact; survey, assessment and recovery of degraded areas; surveys and assessments of natural resources; thematic mapping and integrated relief; environmental zoning; among other relevant aspects of the land relief on any scale. From a technical and instrumental basis for the development of these studies, studies that use instruments to the survey, the interpretation and generalization of data on various aspects of the Earth''s surface, including the forms of occupation and use (s) company (s) human (s). As well as the use and integration of methods and techniques that enable geo technical and instrumental character important in scientific production and the definition of public policies.
