SUMMARY:

The process of urban expansion that has been taking place in several cities in Brazil must be
seen with due care by the Public Authorities, as the lack of urban planning policies, non-
compliance with municipal planning (Master Plan), and deficiencies in the oversight of
interventions in cities can lead to the maximum use of spaces and disorderly occupation of
areas with environmental restrictions, resulting in processes involving the growth of areas
sensitive to population occupation. The development of urban infrastructure, for the most part,
did not have adequate planning that accompanied the population growth in Brazilian cities,
where human settlements on slopes and near bodies of water promote changes in natural
dynamics, exposing individuals to hydrological events and mass movements. In terms of
landscape analysis, geographic information systems provide a range of techniques and tools
for interpretation and manipulation of spatial data that facilitate the generation of information
to support evaluation and decision-making, as exemplified by the objective proposed here.
Thus, the present study identified, through geoprocessing and multicriteria analysis, areas
with degrees of susceptibility to mass movements and floods/flooding, aiming to support
environmental preservation efforts and enhance comprehensive knowledge of the urban area
of Maceió, in order to establish a population management and planning plan in the future that
prioritizes land use strategies with the definition of areas suitable for occupation. Finally, the
data shows that the Urban Zone of Maceió is more susceptible to floods/flooding than mass
movements, and therefore, municipal public policies need to have a closer look and
implement more actions addressing this issue, such as infrastructure works and urban
drainage, but without neglecting situations that leave the population more vulnerable to
hazards, which is a relevant point of interest in urban planning, and should also be taken into
consideration in the revision of the main instrument for urban management and planning, the
Municipal Master Plan, which, at the time of writing this work, is 8 (eight) years overdue for
revision.
