An approach on geoprocessing tools applied to planning and urban management

Abstract

In the past decades, debates about urbanization highlight the concern with the environment, the renewal of traditional tools for urban planning, and the need to use new techniques in order to monitor and assess urban expansion. The utiliza-tion of Geoinformatic techniques made the obtainment, storage, updating, recovery, and crossing of the data efficient. The results show that the use of these techniques is efficient in the survey of natural resources and human activities, de-velopment of environmental georeferred databanks, monitoring of environmental changes, and planning of land use and occupation.
