Analysis Land Use and Land Cover of the Municipality of Itarema-Ceará- Brazil based on Landsat Multispectral Data

This work investigated the process of land use and cover in municipality Itarema. It is located geographic coordinates Latitude (S) 2º 55’ 13” Longitude (W) 39º 54’ 54” northern region state Ceará, with an area 720.7 km² semi-arid region. The objective this study was to analyze changes Itarema for period from 2000 2020, Landsat 5 8 series orbital remote sensing data evaluate evolutionary behavior landscape. methodology used literary review (Leite Rosa 2012) IBGE Land Use Technician Manual (2013). Technical procedures related images recorded respectively 2020 were applied. Imaging treatment performed preprocessing spectral bands, B5 - Medium infrared, B4 Near infrared B2 Green processed B6 SWIR-1, Red ENVI 4.3. classification supervised Semi-Automatic Plug-in by MAX-VER method seven types considered. results point a significant change typology dense vegetation 52.84% reduction 25.71% followed increase degraded areas 7.47% 16.03% 2020. Final considerations, we highlight importance observations landscape evolution interpretation use. We identified classes vegetation, both associated supported PIB profile municipality.
