This study aim to attempt mapping out the Land Use or Land Cover (LULC) status of Regional Project Coordination Committee (RPCC) between 2009-2019 with a view of detecting the land consumption rate and the changes that has taken place using RS and GIS techniques; serving as a precursor to the further study on urban induced variations or change in weather pattern of the cityn Rangpur City Corporation(RCC) is the main administrative functional area for both of Rangpur City and Rangpur division and experiencing a rapid changes in the field of urban sprawl, cultural and physical landscape,city growth. These agents of Land use or Land cover (LULC) varieties are responsible for multi-dimensional problems such as traffic congestion, waterlogging, and solid waste disposal, loss of agricultural land. In this regard, this study fulfills LULC changes by using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) as well as field survey was conducted for the measurement of change detection. The sources of data were Landsat 7 ETM and landsat 8 OLI/TIRS of both C1 level 1. Then after correcting the data, geometrically and radiometrically change detection and combined classification (supervised & unsupervised) were used. The study finds LULC changes built-up area, water source, agricultural land, bare soil in a change of percentage is 17.23, 2.58, -9.94, -10.19 respectively between 2009 and 2019. Among these changes, bare soil is changed to a great extent, which indicates the expansion of urban areas is utilizing the land to a proper extent.

GEOPROCESSAMENTO E SENSORIAMENTO REMOTO APLICADO NA DETERMINAÇÃO DA APTIDÃO AGRÍCOLA DE UMA MICROBACIA Cláudia Webber Corseuil1; Sérgio Campos1; Fernanda Leite Ribeiro2; Teresa Cristina Tarlé Pissarra3; Flavia Mazzer Rodrigues3 1Departamento de Engenharia Rural, Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Botucatu, SP, seca@fca.unesp.br 2Departamento de Geociências, Universidade Estadual de Londrina, Londrina, PR3Departamento de Engenharia Rural, Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinária, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Jaboticabal, SP 1 RESUMO Atividades como agricultura e pecuária causam impactos significativos no meio ambiente, principalmente quando estas são praticadas de forma intensiva, desconsiderando a fragilidade e o potencial de uso dos recursos naturais. A análise de vários critérios ambientais como, aptidão agrícola do solo, área com necessidade de proteção, zoneamento ambiental, entre outros, permite realizar uma caracterização do meio físico, biótico e sócio-econôminco, voltada para a utilização racional dos recursos naturais. Desta forma, é essencial que se faça o planejamento das atividades a serem desenvolvidas numa área, considerando a aptidão dos recursos nela disponíveis. Para uma utilização racional desses recursos, é necessário considerar o seu potencial de uso. No caso específico dos solos, a interpretação dos levantamentos de solos é de grande importância, pois as características de cada unidade é que determina o seu potencial de uso. Assim, este estudo objetivou analisar as classes de aptidão agrícola das terras de uma bacia hidrográfica por meio de sistema de informação geográfica (SIG). A microbacia do Arroio Ajuricaba localiza-se no Município de Marechal Cândido Rondon-PR, entre as coordenadas UTM 787309m E e 793892m E; 7275026m N e 7281310m N, do Fuso 21, apresentando uma área de 1681ha. A base cartográfica digital utilizada foi o mapa de solos, em escala de semidetalhe. Os resultados permitiram concluir que 42,41% da bacia apresentam uma boa aptidão para lavouras no nível de manejo de alta tecnologia (nível de manejo C), regular para o B e restrita para o A [classe 1(a)bC] e que 12% da área compreendem terras com aptidão regular para lavoura nos três níveis de manejo (classe 1abc). As terras da microbacia (14,24%) apresentam uma aptidão regular para o uso com lavouras no nível de manejo C, restrita para o B e inapta para o A [classe de aptidão 2(b)c]; 15,85% apresentam aptidão boa para pastagem plantada (classe 4P) e 12,21% são consideradas sem aptidão para uso agrícola (classe 6). Podemos dizer que 71,94% das terras possuem aptidão para lavouras, embora apresentem diferentes graus de limitações, que requerem tratamentos distintos para a sua conservação. UNITERMOS: unidades de solo, aptidão agrícola, geoprocessamento. CORSEUIL, C. W.; CAMPOS, S.; RIBEIRO, F. L.; PISSARRA, T. C. T.; RODRIGUES, F. M.. GEOPROCESSING AND REMOTE SENSING APPLIED TO DETERMINATION OF A WATERSHED AGRICULTURAL APTITUDE 2 ABSTRACT Soil use for the development of activities as agriculture and livestock has been causing great alterations in the environment, mainly when these are practiced intensively, disrespecting the fragility and aptitude of the natural resources. Therefore, it is essential that the planning of the agricultural activities is done, taking into consideration the several environmental criteria involved in the decision-making process. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the agricultural aptitude classes of lands from a watershed through geographical information system (GIS). The Arroio Ajuricaba watershed is located in theMunicipalityofMarechal Cândido Rondon- PR among the coordinates UTM 787309m E and 793892m E; 7275026m N and 7281310m N, in the Spindle 21, presenting an area of 1681ha. Soil maps, in semi detail scale, was the digital cartographic base used. The results allowed to conclude that 42.41% of the basin presented a good aptitude for farming in handling level of high technology (handling level C), regular aptitude for B, and restricted aptitude for A [class 1(a)bC] and that 12% of the area had regular aptitude for farming in the three handling levels (class 1abc). The watershed lands (14.24%) presented regular aptitude for farming in handling level C, restricted aptitude for B, and inapt for A [class of aptitude 2(b)c]; 15.85% presented good aptitude for planted pasture (class 4P) and 12.21% were considered without aptitude for agricultural use (class 6). We can say that 71.94% of the lands has aptitude for farming, although they present different degrees of limitations that request different treatments for its conservation. KEY WORDS: soil units, agricultural aptitude, geoprocessing

Climate change induced sea-level rise (SLR) is on its increase globally. Regionally the lowlands of China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and islands of the Malaysian, Indonesian and Philippine archipelagos are among the world’s most threatened regions. Sea-level rise has major impacts on the ecosystems and society. It threatens coastal populations, economic activities, and fragile ecosystems as mangroves, coastal salt-marches and wetlands. This paper provides a summary of the current state of knowledge of sea level-rise and its effects on both human and natural ecosystems. The focus is on coastal urban areas and low lying deltas in South-East Asia and Vietnam, as one of the most threatened areas in the world. About 3 mm per year reflects the growing consensus on the average SLR worldwide. The trend speeds up during recent decades. The figures are subject to local, temporal and methodological variation. In Vietnam the average values of 3.3 mm per year during the 1993-2014 period are above the worldwide average. Although a basic conceptual understanding exists that the increasing global frequency of the strongest tropical cyclones is related with the increasing temperature and SLR, this relationship is insufficiently understood. Moreover the precise, complex environmental, economic, social, and health impacts are currently unclear. SLR, storms and changing precipitation patterns increase flood risks, in particular in urban areas. Part of the current scientific debate is on how urban agglomeration can be made more resilient to flood risks. Where originally mainly technical interventions dominated this discussion, it becomes increasingly clear that proactive special planning, flood defense, flood risk mitigation, flood preparation, and flood recovery are important, but costly instruments. Next to the main focus on SLR and its effects on resilience, the paper reviews main SLR associated impacts: Floods and inundation, salinization, shoreline change, and effects on mangroves and wetlands. The hazards of SLR related floods increase fastest in urban areas. This is related with both the increasing surface major cities are expected to occupy during the decades to come and the increasing coastal population. In particular Asia and its megacities in the southern part of the continent are increasingly at risk. The discussion points to complexity, inter-disciplinarity, and the related uncertainty, as core characteristics. An integrated combination of mitigation, adaptation and resilience measures is currently considered as the most indicated way to resist SLR today and in the near future.References Aerts J.C.J.H., Hassan A., Savenije H.H.G., Khan M.F., 2000.

DETERMINAÇÃO DA CAPACIDADE DE USO DAS TERRAS DO MUNICÍPIO DE SÃO MANUEL - SP Osmar Delmanto JuniorSérgio CamposLincoln Gehring CardosoZacarias Xavier de BarrosDepartamento de Engenharia Rural, Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Botucatu, SP. CP 237, CEP 18603-970. E-mail: seca@fca.unesp.br 1 RESUMO Esse trabalho objetivou a elaboração da carta de capacidade de uso das terras do Município de São Manuel - SP, visando o planejamento adequado da ocupação do solo, utilizado-se de Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG). A bacia situa-se entre as coordenadas geográficas 22º 28’ 20” e 22º 53’ 10” de latitudes S e os meridianos 48º 21’ 52” e 48º 48’ 00” de longitudes W Gr., apresentando uma área de 60.988ha. O mapa de capacidade de uso da terra do município foi elaborado a partir dos mapas de classes de declive e de solo, tomando-se por base as características de cada um e utilizando-se da tabela de julgamento de classes de capacidade de uso. As áreas da classe e subclasses de capacidade de uso das terras determinadas pelo SIG –IDRISI foram: IIe,s (22,64%); IIIe (8,62%); IIIe,s (15,83%); IIIs (29,97%); IVe (10,82%); VIe (3,95%) e VIIe (0,96%). Os resultados permitiram inferir que as subclasses mais significativas foram a IIIs e IIe,s. As classes de declive de 0 a 20% ocorrem em mais de ¾ do Município, sendo as áreas planas, as mais representativas, pois ocorrem em quase 1/3 da área total. O SIG mostrou-se uma excelente ferramenta para determinação da capacidade de uso da terra, demonstrando que a utilização do geoprocessamento facilita e agiliza o cruzamento dos dados digitais, permitindo seu armazenamento, que poderão ser utilizados para outras análises em futuros planejamentos geoambientais. UNITERMOS: Sistema de Informações Geográficas, unidades de solo, classes de declive, capacidade de uso da terra DELMANTO JUNIOR, O.; CAMPOS S.; CARDOSO, L.G.; BARROS, Z.X. LAND USE CAPABILITY DETERMINATION OF SÃO MANUEL MUNICIPALITY-SP 2 ABSTRACT The present work purposed a land use capability chart development from São Manuel Municipality-SP using a Geographical Information System - Idrisi aiming to contribute for a better territorial organization and soil occupation planning. The basin is located in the 22º 28’ 20” geographical co-ordinates at 22º 53’ 10” S latitude, 48º 21’ 52” and 48º 48’ 00” meridian of W Gr. longitude, presenting an area of 9180,12ha. The chart of the basin land use capability was elaborated from the soil and sloping class charts based on each one characteristics and using the class table of use capability. The class and subclass areas determined through the Geographical Information System IDRISI presented the following values: IIe,s (22,64%), IIIe (8,62%), IIIe,s (15,83%), IIIs (29,97%), IVe (10,82%), VIe (3,95%) and VIIe (0,96%). The results allowed to infer that the most significant sub classes were IIIs and IIe,s. The 0 to 20% sloping classes have occurred in more than ¾ of the district. Plane areas were the most significant since they occur in nearly 1/3 of the whole area. The Geographical Information System IDRISI has been an excellent tool to determine land use capability, specially related with geo-processing use. The later also facilitates the input, analysis and display of spatial environmental information as well as data digital storage which could be used for other analyses in further geo-environmental design. KEYWORDS: Geoprocessing, land-use capability, Geographical Information Systems.

Entikong is a sub-districts located in the borderline, northern end of Sanggau Regency directly adjacent to Sarawak, Malaysia. The growth of Entikong as a center of growth does not provide a downward trickle effect, but it creates an excessive resources exploitation effect to the surrounding area (backwash effect). The land use within an area should be adjusted to its function. For that reason, this research will determine the priority and rank of land use by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The ranking is based on four aspects of criteria; social, economic, institutional, and environmental. The hierarchy model is sorted into alternatives, criteria, and sub-criteria. The criteria and subcriteria are compared, as well as the value of consistency. After data processing and analyzing with Expert Choice software version 11, the researcher found that the main priority of land use in Entikong is for plantation, which is 29,7%.

A CULTURA DA CANA-DE-AÇÚCAR COMO FATOR DE RISCO PARA OS CÓRREGOS E AS NASCENTES BRUNA SOARES XAVIER DE BARROS1 E ZACARIAS XAVIER DE BARROS2 Departamento de Engenharia Rural, Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Botucatu, SP, zacariasxb@fca.unesp.br1Pós-Doutoranda do Programa de Pós-Graduação - Energia na Agricultura, FCA/UNESP - Botucatu, SP. 2Professor Titular do Departamento de Engenharia Rural, FCA/UNESP - Botucatu, SP. 1 RESUMO O levantamento do uso e ocupação do solo tornou-se muito importante para se conhecer e determinar as principais culturas de uma região, pois a ação antrópica pode modificar profundamente as feições de uma paisagem nativa. Neste contexto, este trabalho visou analisar a ocupação do solo na bacia Fazenda Serra Negra, Botucatu-SP, no período de 1962 a 2014, no intuito de verificar a influência das diferentes culturas sobre as redes de drenagem e as nascentes na bacia. A bacia está situada entre as coordenadas de 22º 46’ 42” a 22º 48’ 12” de latitude S e 48º 24’ 04” a 48º 25’ 54” longitude Wgr, perfazendo uma área de 963,97 ha. O estudo possibilitou constatar que os córregos existentes em 1962 cederam espaços para o plantio da cana-de-açúcar restando apenas vestígios da rede de drenagem; pode-se também constatar que a várzea sofreu diminuição devido à construção de uma rede de drenos. Palavras-chave: Imagens aéreas; bacia hidrográfica; ocupação do solo. BARROS, B. S. X.; BARROS, Z. X.SUGAR CANE GROWING AS A RISK FACTOR FOR STREAMS AND SPRINGS 2 ABSTRACT The survey of land use and occupation has become very important to know and determine the main crops of the region, because human activities can profoundly change the features of a native landscape. In this context, this study aimed to analyze land use in the Fazenda Serra Negra drainage basin, Botucatu, São Paulo, from 1962 to 2014, in order to investigate the influence of different cultures on the drainage systems and springs in the basin. This basin is located between coordinates 22º46’42” to 22°48’'12”S latitude and 48°24’04” to 48°25’54”W longitude, covering an area of 963.97 ha. Through this study, it was possible to see that the existing streams in 1962 gave room to sugarcane growing, leaving only traces of the drainage system; it can also be seen that the plain suffered a decrease due to the building of a drain network. Keywords: aerial images; hydrographic basin; land use.

Rapid urbanization rates impact significantly on the nature of Land Cover patterns of the environment, which has been evident in the depletion of vegetal reserves and in general modifying the human climatic systems (Henderson, et al., 2017; Kumar, Masago, Mishra, & Fukushi, 2018; Luo and Lau, 2017). This study explores remote sensing classification technique and other auxiliary data to determine LULCC for a period of 50 years (1967-2016). The LULCC types identified were quantitatively evaluated using the change detection approach from results of maximum likelihood classification algorithm in GIS. Accuracy assessment results were evaluated and found to be between 56 to 98 percent of the LULC classification. The change detection analysis revealed change in the LULC types in Minna from 1976 to 2016. Built-up area increases from 74.82ha in 1976 to 116.58ha in 2016. Farmlands increased from 2.23 ha to 46.45ha and bared surface increases from 120.00ha to 161.31ha between 1976 to 2016 resulting to decline in vegetation, water body, and wetlands. The Decade of rapid urbanization was found to coincide with the period of increased Public Private Partnership Agreement (PPPA). Increase in farmlands was due to the adoption of urban agriculture which has influence on food security and the environmental sustainability. The observed increase in built up areas, farmlands and bare surfaces has substantially led to reduction in vegetation and water bodies. The oscillatory nature of water bodies LULCC which was not particularly consistent with the rates of urbanization also suggests that beyond the urbanization process, other factors may influence the LULCC of water bodies in urban settlements.

Abstract. Surface water and energy fluxes are essential components of the Earth system. Surface latent heat fluxes provide major energy input to the atmosphere. Despite the importance of these fluxes, state-of-the-art data sets of surface energy and water fluxes largely differ. The present paper introduces a new framework for the estimation of surface energy and water fluxes at the land surface, which allows for temporally and spatially high-resolved flux estimates at the quasi-global scale (50° S, 50° N) (High resOlution Land Atmosphere Parameters from Space – HOLAPS v1.0). The framework makes use of existing long-term satellite and reanalysis data records and ensures internally consistent estimates of the surface radiation and water fluxes. The manuscript introduces the technical details of the developed framework and provides results of a comprehensive sensitivity and evaluation study. Overall the root mean square difference (RMSD) was found to be 51.2 (30.7) W m−2 for hourly (daily) latent heat flux, and 84 (38) W m−2 for sensible heat flux when compared against 48 FLUXNET stations worldwide. The largest uncertainties of latent heat flux and net radiation were found to result from uncertainties in the solar radiation flux obtained from satellite data products.

CAPACIDADE DE USO DAS TERRAS DA BACIA DO RIBEIRÃO ÁGUA FRIA – BOFETE (SP) Sérgio CamposThiago Godinho dos SantosCristiane Lopes da SilvaZacarias Xavier de BarrosLincoln Gehring CardosoDepartamento de Engenharia Rural, Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas, Universidade Estadual Paulista, CP 237, CEP 18603-970, Botucatu - SP, E-mail: seca@fca.unesp.br. 1 RESUMO A determinação da capacidade de uso das terras numa bacia é muito importante para o planejamento e uso do solo, pois o uso inadequado e sem planejamento dessas terras provocam a baixa produtividade das culturas. Este trabalho visou definir as classes homogêneas de capacidade de uso da terra da bacia do Ribeirão Água Fria - Bofete (SP) para atender ao planejamento de práticas de conservação do solo desta área. A bacia situa-se entre as coordenadas geográficas 22o 58' 30`` a 23o 04' 30`` de latitude S e 48o 09' 30`` a 48o 18' 30`` de longitude W Gr., apresentando uma área de 9.180,12 hectares. A carta de capacidade de uso da terra da bacia foi elaborada a partir da carta clinográfica obtida por Santos et al. (1999), mapa pedológico do Estado de São Paulo (Oliveira et al., 1999), da tabela de julgamento de classes de capacidade de uso do solo (França, 1963) e das recomendações constantes no manual para levantamento utilitário do meio físico e classificação das terras no sistema de capacidade de uso (Lepsch et al., 1983). A discriminação, o mapeamento e a quantificação das áreas das classes e subclasses de capacidade de uso pelo Sistema de Informação Geográfica - IDRISI apresentaram os seguintes valores: IIIe,s - 517,020 ha (5,63%); IIIs - 863,150 ha (9,40%); IVe - 846,730 ha (9,23%); VIe - 871,110 ha (9,49%) e VIIe - 6082,115 ha (66,25%). Os resultados permitiram concluir que a bacia essencialmente constituída por 2/3 pela subclasse VIIe, ou seja, são terras que podem ser utilizadas por pastagens com uso moderado ou florestas, pois apresentam problemas complexos de erosão por causa de sua declividade. O Sistema de Informação Geográfica IDRISI permitiu através de seus módulos discriminar, mapear e quantificar as áreas das classes e subclasses de capacidade de uso das terras da bacia com rapidez e confiabilidade. UNITERMOS: Capacidade de uso, unidades de solo, classes de declive, bacia hidrográfica. CAMPOS, S., SANTOS, T.G., SILVA, C.L., BARROS, Z.X., CARDOSO, L.G. LAND USE CAPACITY OF AGUA FRIA STREAM BASIN – BOFETE (SP) 2 ABSTRACT The land use capacity determination is considered to be very important on land use planning, since its inadequate utilization can lead to low crop productivity. This work aimed to define the homogeneous classes of land use capacity of Agua Fria stream Basin – Bofete (SP) in order to help the soil conservation procedure planning in this area. The Basin is located from 22°58’30’’ to 23° 04’30’’ southern latitude and 48° 09’30’’ to 48°18’30’’ western longitude, in a 9180.12 ha area. The chart of land use capacity was established based on the clinographic chart by Santos et al. (1999), São Paulo state pedological map (Oliveira et al, 1999), class determination chart of soil use capacity (França, 1963) and the recommendations from the manual for physical environmental utilitary survey in the using capacity system (Lepsch et al, 1983). The determination, mapping and quantification of class and subclass areas of using capacity by the Geographic Information System – IDRISI presented the following values: IIIe,s – 517.020 ha (5.63%); IIIs 863.150 ha (9.40 %); IVe – 846.730 ha (9.23%); VIe – 871.110 ha (9.49 %) e VIIe – 6082.115 ha (66.25 %). The results allowed to conclude that the Basin is 2/3 essentially constituted by VIIe subclass, i.e., land that could be used for moderate grazing or forests, since it has complex erosion problems due to its slope. The Geographic Information System IDRISI by its modules enabled to discriminate, map and quantify the land use capacity class and subclass areas of the basin fast and reliably.

Daily, quasi-global (50° N–S and 180° W–E), satellite-based estimates of actual evapotranspiration at 0.25° spatial resolution have recently become available, generated by the Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM). We investigate the use of these data to improve the performance of a simple lumped catchment-scale hydrologic model driven by satellite-based precipitation estimates to generate streamflow simulations for a poorly gauged basin in Africa. In one approach, we use GLEAM to constrain the evapotranspiration estimates generated by the model, thereby modifying daily water balance and improving model performance. In an alternative approach, we instead change the structure of the model to improve its ability to simulate actual evapotranspiration (as estimated by GLEAM). Finally, we test whether the GLEAM product is able to further improve the performance of the structurally modified model. Results indicate that while both approaches can provide improved simulations of streamflow, the second approach also improves the simulation of actual evapotranspiration significantly, which substantiates the importance of making diagnostic structural improvements to hydrologic models whenever possible.

Numerous socio-economic activities depend on the seasonal rainfall and groundwater recharge cycle across the Central American Isthmus. Population growth and unregulated land use changes resulted in extensive surface water pollution and a large dependency on groundwater resources. This chapter uses stable isotope variations in rainfall, surface water, and groundwater of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Honduras to develop a regionalized rainfall isoscape, isotopic lapse rates, spatial-temporal isotopic variations, and air mass back trajectories determining potential mean recharge elevations, moisture circulation patterns, and surface water-groundwater interactions. Intra-seasonal rainfall modes resulted in two isotopically depleted incursions (W-shaped isotopic pattern) during the wet season and two enriched pulses during the Mid-Summer Drought and the months of the strongest trade winds. Notable isotopic sub-cloud fractionation and near-surface secondary evaporation were identified as common denominators within the Central American Dry Corridor. Groundwater and surface water isotope ratios depicted the strong orographic separation into the Caribbean and Pacific domains, mainly induced by the governing moisture transport from the Caribbean Sea, complex rainfall producing systems across the N-S mountain range, and the subsequent mixing with local evapotranspiration, and, to a lesser degree, the eastern Pacific Ocean fluxes. Groundwater recharge was characterized by a) depleted recharge in highland areas (72.3%), b) rapid recharge via preferential flow paths (13.1%), and enriched recharge due to near-surface secondary fractionation (14.6%). Median recharge elevation ranged from 1,104 to 1,979 m a.s.l. These results are intended to enhance forest conservation practices, inform water protection regulations, and facilitate water security and sustainability planning in the Central American Isthmus.
