GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS)
GIS is a geographic and territorial data management system, consisting of computer programs, spatial analysis tools and a specific data collection for treatment.
The function of a GIS is to apply spatial analysis tools for editing and processing geographic data, aiming at extracting information of interest or updating a specific database. The data analyzed in these systems have topological properties (representation by geographic coordinates) and are generally associated with alpha-numeric information that express their meaning. A methodology that involves GIS can have several objectives, always following a different sequence of processing and editing steps.
GIS projects are essential for organizing and maintaining a company’s territorial database and for obtaining spatial information on a region of interest. From these activities it is possible to carry out updates of cadastral bases, temporal analysis of the landscape, mapping of land use, modeling of spatial phenomena and several other works of great value for strategic planning. Well-structured GIS projects are essential for successful forest management.

O Monitoramento Ambiental, obrigação imposta para o acompanhamento da evolução dos projetos de restauração florestal, é uma prática que vem sendo cada dia mais exigida das empresas que causam impactos ao meio ambiente. Confira os passos do Método Index para um Monitoramento Ambiental de projetos de Recuperação Florestal de qualidade em nosso novo e-book!
Toda atividade antrópica que transforma, danifica ou destrói as condições originais do meio ambiente possui o ônus da recuperação ambiental. Tal obrigação emana de um dos princípios do direito ambiental brasileiro, o princípio do poluidor-pagador, o qual reconhece que os danos ambientais causados pelas atividades antrópicas devem ser compensados. A compensação visa restabelecer da melhor forma possível as condições originais do meio impactado.
O monitoramento ambiental de projetos de restauração florestal é uma obrigação imposta para o acompanhamento de projetos, e o uso de geotecnologia permite a ampliação do alcance do monitoramento e a geração de um número maior de dados, reduzindo custos e aprimorando as análises.
