El objetivo principal es el de analizar la periodización del asentamiento medieval de forma general y detallada a través del estudio del paisaje fortificado y del paisaje sagrado en una ventana cronológica que va desde el siglo 5 hasta el siglo 13. También se analizaron los elementos principales de las arquitecturas históricas disponibles mediante los métodos de la arqueología de la arquitectura. Otra aplicación metodológica fue la de la Archéogéographie Francesca a través de la cual es posible estudiar las estructuras del parcelario agrario y de la viabilidad. Todos los datos han sido sintetizados para obtener el cuadro general del asentamiento medieval en el valle.
This work deals with the analysis of the Ager Valley historic landscape through the methodologies of Landscape Archaeology. It uses several multidisciplinary sources as written documents, remote sensing images (mainly lidar and radar), parcels analysis, archaeological prospections and archaeological excavations. The main target has been obtaining the periodisation of the medieval settlement in the valley from the 5th to the 13th centuries. It analyses the structure of the agrarian parcel systems through the methodology developed in the Archaeogeographic studies and predictive archaeology (least cost path, viewshed analysis, site catchment analysis). It also uses the application of the Archaeology of Architecture in order to study the material evidences of the churches and the defensive towers of the valley. After the analysis of the different sources, it tries to develop a synthesis of the data following the chronological windows allowed by the sources. All the data have been used also to analyse the Landscape of Power and the Sacred Landscape in the valley during the Middle Ages.

Full textCauses related to the deforestation in the Amazon region are linked to different uses and occupations of this area, including rural settlements implemented by Incra. Thus, through a local-scale study, the objective of this research was to investigate which are the social, economic and institutional influences on land use and deforestation in Matupi Settlement Project, in the municipality of Manicoré, in the southern region of the state of Amazonas. For the assessment of changes in land use and deforestation, information generated by PRODES / INPE, in the period 2000-2010, were used. The social-economic characteristics were obtained from the application of 121 questionnaires with those responsible for the lot in the Matupi settlement. We used the Multivariate Regression Model (MRM) to select the variables social, institutional and economic factors (independent variables) that explain land use and deforestation (dependent variable) in PA Matupi. The analysis showed that the conversion of forest land to use has increased in Matupi PA and for 121 respondents, 90.9% use more than 20% of the lot, especially with the activity of livestock. Of the 28 independent variables, only the current activity in the lot, technical assistance, use of equipment and machinery, responsible for the lot, place of residence before arriving at the settlement, origin of the responsible for the plot, and marketing of products and marketed products have been selected to explain the land use and deforestation in the area. Thus, local studies integrating social, economic and institutional factors are needed to assess the real contribution of the INCRA settlement projects in the deforestation of the region, contributing to the planning of new settlements in the region, aimed at the social, economic and environmental development.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa contribui para o debate sobre o processo de desflorestamento na região Amazônia, a partir de uma abordagem fundamentada na análise da evolução espaço-temporal do uso e ocupação do assentamento rural de Machadinho d'Oeste, Rondônia, tendo como material básico de estudo, dados de sensoriamento remoto e dados socioeconômicos. Considera-se neste estudo que, o processo de desflorestamento regional é conseqüência direta da expansão da fronteira agrícola iniciada no final da década de 60, impulsionada pelas políticas de incentivos governamentais de ocupação e desenvolvimento local. O objetivo foi avaliar se as taxas de desflorestamento das propriedades estavam em acordo com a legislação ambiental - em especial, o Zoneamento Socioeconômico-Ecológico do estado de Rondônia. Para isto, dados de um mapeamento multitemporal de uso e cobertura das terras elaborado a partir de imagens orbitais Landsat TM, para os anos de 1988, 1994 e 1998, foram utilizados como instrumento de monitoramento da evolução do desflorestamento em propriedades situadas na Gleba 2 do assentamento. Foram diferenciados 3 tipos de produtores residentes na área de estudo: os que desflorestaram até 60% da área de suas propriedades - limite proposto no ZEE, e aqueles que desflorestaram área excedentes a este percentual, subdivididos ainda de acordo com o ritmo inicial do desflorestamento: intenso, se a taxa estivesse acima de 10 ha nos 5 primeiros anos e não-intenso, se a taxa de desflorestamento fosse inferior a 10 ha nos primeiros 5 anos. Estes resultados provenientes do sensoriamento remoto foram integrados a dados socioeconômicos dos produtores rurais, obtidos por meio de entrevistas realizadas pela Embrapa em 1986 e 1996, com o objetivo de se resgatar a dimensão humana do processo de desflorestamento ocorrido na área de estudo. Nesta etapa, foram analisadas variáveis demo gráficas, relativas à propriedade e variáveis econômicas dos produtores assentados, com o intuito de inferir sobre os possíveis fatores condicionantes do desflorestamento nestas propriedades. As principais conclusões indicaram que dentre as variáveis estudadas, idade do produtor, pessoas na família, tempo de residência, ativos agrícolas, mão-de-obra extra-familiar, assistência técnica, número de proprietários anteriores e nível de riqueza apresentaram associação direta com o padrão de desflorestamento praticado. E as variáveis origem do produtor, área da propriedade, atividade extra agrícola e acesso a linhas de crédito não apresentaram associação
Abstract: This research aims to contribute to the debate on Amazonic region deforestation process through an analysis on the spatial-temporal evolution of use and occupation of the rural settlement Machadinho d'Oeste in Rondonia based on remote sensing and socioeconomic data. We consider that the deforestation process results directly of the expansion of agricultural borders begun at the end of the sixties promoted by governmental policies of occupation and local development. The aim was to evaluate the accordance of the deforestation rates in each property with the environmental law - specially the Rondonia state law on Ecological Socioeconomic Zoning (ESZ). As an instrument for monitoring the deforestation evolution in properties located at Gleba 2 of the settlement, we used data obtained from a multitemporal mapping of land use and land cover made from Landsat TM satellite remote sensing images taken in 1988, 1994 and 1998. Three kinds of producers were identified in the study area: those who deforested up to 60% of their lands - limit proposed by the ESZ - and those who over deforested the permitted 60%. The latter group was divided according to the initial deforestation rhythm: intense, rates over 10 ha in the first 5 years and non-intense, rates under 10 ha in the first 5 years. These outcomes from remote sensing data were crossed with socioeconomic data obtained by Embrapa through interviews with rural producers in 1986 and 1996 aiming to comprehend the human dimension of deforestation process occurred in the area. In this stage were analyzed demographic and economical variables concerning property and settled producers, in order to infer about the possible leading factors to deforestation in these properties. The main conc1usions have shown that amongst the considered variables some presents direct association with practiced patterns of deforesting, such as: producer's age, number of people in the family, years lived on the farm, number of people working the land, number of extra-familiar workers, technical assistance, number of previous owners and leveI of wealth. Other variables such as: producer's origin, property' s extension, extra-agricultural activities and access to credit lines have not presented association with the above mentioned patterns of deforesting

Full textIn the last few years, increasing urban occupation considered inadequate and disordered is recognized to be a serious environmental problem. In some cities, the urban settlements are also located in areas of sliding land, which are occupied without any technical criterion or environmental project. Such irresponsible actions by the citizens and bye the government are roots of transgressions of environmental laws always leading to land sliding accidents and tragedies during torrential rainfalls. Therefore, investigating several types of land use associated to physical soil characteristics are extreme important for understanding the actual preservation and conservation processes associated to natural resources, especially, on issues relating to the restrictions of use and occupation in areas of land slide, in order to assure life quality of the population. This dissertation intends to analyze the environmental legislation of the municipality of São Sebastião in São Paulo State, applying Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System. The study area extension is about 402.3 km2 and is located in the North Coast of São Paulo State. Due to irregular settlement associated to areas of urban pressure and expansion, the municipal area is actually subjected to land-sliding problem during raining season. Method used has adapted proposed ideas of CREPANI et al. (1996) and MORAES (1999). Were used images of TM, ETM+, HRV sensors of satellites Landsat 5, 7 and Spot of period from 1988 to 2002, and also of the Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) of 2000. Using the orbital images was generated a thematic map of land use and cover, while the radar image has treated the isolines and declivity. Both products were crossed and integrated analyzed with others environmental variables of geology, geomorphology, geotechnical and soils that have resulted into a general Map of Urban Settlement considering Physical Capacity. This was linked with the Environmental Legislation Area Map containing the Areas of Permanent Preservation (APP`s) for determination of Land Use Incompatibility Map. All the crossings procedures were made using The LEGAL language (Linguagem Espacial para Geoprocessamento Algébrico) of SPRING software was utilized for all crossed analyses. Final results have revealed that there are only few areas that are available relating compatible Use and to the Environmental Legislation combined with the physical characteristics of the area. However, anthropic occupation is expanding continuous in sliding risk areas and also by the boundaries of Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar (PESM), where environmental laws where not obeyed. The awareness of compatible Use for the urban settlement may aid in order to assist the expansion or anthropic occupation in risk areas, and also to avoid environmental degradation where preservation is expected in the municipality of São Sebastião.

Full textIn developing countries, infectious diseases are still a serious public health problem. These diseases are often and highly related to urban conditions found in poor areas, in these cases, remote sensing (RS) can be used as a powerful tool. New RS products are now available allowing the development of more complex and precise spatial analysis. On the other hand, the complexity of epidemiological studies, the lack of regularity of precarious urban settlements and the heterogeneity of high spatial resolution images have been restricting the development of studies in this areas. The challenge of identifying urban elements and typologies related to the leptospirosis using RS products is pursued due the belief that RS can be more used among professionals and researchers in the task of monitoring the urban environment, and directing public investments and actions. The methodology presented consists in a broad literature review, which was used to support leptospirosis transmission risk models and to find urban typologies at the study area. Variables based on RS were identified in the disease models and in the typologies characterization. This models and typologies also defined targets to look for in the high spatial resolution images. RS procedures were based on multi-level segmentation, object-based classification, aerial photography, QuickBird satellite images and street axis vector data of the Railroad Suburb of Salvador. In order to obtain the variable\'s values, results of QuickBird image processing were added to a geographic database and processed using vector and raster over layering techniques. At last, epidemiological analysis were initiated aiming to find its relationship with the urban elements and typologies identified using RS. The results points paved streets, streets wideness and house quality as the RS variables that have more influence on the leptospirosis transmission chance. The dissertation also presents research restrains, potentials, possible sources of bias and future studies proposals. It concludes that the RS based methodology presented is a powerful tool for urban analysis, due to its capabilities for identifying urban targets related to risky situations, and, therefore, for helping direct public investments to improve life conditions an unprivileged city areas.

The Chenyulan river is located in Nantoucountry, the mainstream flow from south to north. Owing to steep topography, landslide activity more, alluvial fan area and river terraces are developed. In recent years, natural disasters such as debris flow usually occur after typhoon and rainstorm in Chenyulan river. So the safety of each settlement along the river by impact of river topography changes is very importment. In this study, the study area include Feng-Qiu, Xin-Xiang, Lona, Wang-Xiang and Tong-Fu settlement in Chenyulan river. Because these area is belonging to densely populated areas, when disaster strikes, these area are high hazards.This study used multi-source aeril photography and remote sensed imagery to detect river changes at Feng-Qiu settlement to Tong-Fu settlement in Chenyulan river. Various types of maps were used in this study, including old aeril images taken in 1946, Corona satellite images acquired in 1971, and orthophoto taken in 2002. This study use GIS(Geographic Information System) software to digitize river area range, river channel, river terraces, alluvial fan terraces and use DTM(Digital Terrain Model) and profile analysis to analysis was applied to find the river changes in different time periods. The result shows that, by using multi-source aeril photography and remote sensed imagery and analysis functionalities of GIS can determine the relative risk level of each settlement, such as: the lower relative risk settlement including Feng-Qiu, Xin-Xiang, Lona, Wang-Xiangterrace. The higher relative risk settlement including Shih-Ba-Chun River, Non-Fu- Ping, and Tong-fu terrace. The study results provide reference for future settlements along the river disaster prevention and risk assessment.

Full textThe identification and monitoring of informal settlements in urban areas is an important step in developing and implementing pro-poor urban policies. Understanding when, where and who lives inside informal settlements is critical to efforts to improve their resilience. This study aims at integrating OSM data and sentinel-2 imagery for classifying and monitoring the growth of informal settlements methods to map informal areas in Kampala (Uganda) and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and to monitor their growth in Kampala. Three building feature characteristics of size, shape and Distance to nearest Neighbour were derived and used to cluster and classify informal areas using Hotspot Cluster analysis and ML approach on OSM buildings data. The resultant informal regions in Kampala were used with Sentinel-2 image tiles to investigate the spatiotemporal changes in informal areas using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Results from Optimized Hot Spot Analysis and Random Forest Classification show that Informal regions can be mapped based on building outline characteristics. An accuracy of 90.3% was achieved when an optimally trained CNN was executed on a test set of 2019 satellite image tiles. Predictions of informality from new datasets for the years 2016 and 2017 provided promising results on combining different open source geospatial datasets to identify, classify and monitor informal settlements.

Full textUpdated spatial information on the dynamics of slums can be helpful to measure and evaluate the progress of urban upgrading projects and policies. Earlier studies have shown that remote sensing techniques, with the help of very-high resolution imagery, can play a significant role in detecting slums, and providing timely spatial information. The main objective of this thesis is to develop a reliable object-oriented slum identification technique that enables the provision of timely spatial information about slum settlements in Addis Ababa city. It compares the one-class support vector machines algorithm with the expert defined classification rule set in the discrimination of slums, using GeoEye-1 imagery. Two different approaches, called manual and automatic fine-tuning, were deployed to determine the best value of parameters in one-class support vector machines algorithm. The manual fine-tuning of the parameters is done using extensive manual trial. The automatic tuning is done using cross-validation grid search with the overall accuracy as the performance metric. Two regions of study were defined with different landscape compositions, providing different classification scenarios to compare the classification approaches. After image segmentation, twenty predictive variables were computed to characterize the objects in both study areas. An image analyst collected one hundred sample objects of a slum to be used as training for the single-class learner. In parallel, an image analyst has defined a hierarchical rule set to discriminate the class of interest. Results in both study areas indicate that the one-class support vector machine with manual tuning yields higher overall accuracy (97.7% in subset 1, and 92% in subset 2) and requiring much less application effort and computing time than the expert system.
