SUMMARY:

The environmental theme is gaining more and more space today due to the urgency
to detect and update methodologies that assist in the prevention, combat and recovery
of areas subject to environmental protection. The present study aims to contribute to
the environmental axis in order to bring the possibility of occurrence of environmental
conflicts in conservation units, in this case, the Environmental Protection Area of
Catolé and Fernão Velho, located in the municipalities of Maceió, Rio Largo, Coqueiro
Seco, Santa Luzia do Norte and Satuba. Due to its abundance in water resources, the
conservation unit is responsible for holding about 20% of the water supply of the upper
part of Maceió, in addition to having scenic beauty, fauna and flora that fit the need for
protection. The conservation unit has socio-environmental problems such as: erosion,
flood risk, real estate pressure, disordered urban growth, high index of social
vulnerability, irregular disposal of garbage and burning in hillside areas. Thus, using
geoprocessing techniques, environmental assessments were carried out for two
selected categories, these being "urban expansion" and "flood risk" correlating with the
unit's management plan, which classifies the area by environmental zones. Weights
and scores (0-10) and nominal classifications (Very Low-High) were assigned to define
the potential and possible conflicts within the APA. The conflict found refers to the
potential for urban expansion within an area classified as an environmental
protection/wildlife protection zone, where there is the occurrence of impacting
anthropic activities within the zone, thus conflicting with the restrictions set out in the
APA management plan. As well as the medium risk of flooding in urban areas, adding
a risk to the population especially in rainy periods since, being urbanized, there is no
infiltration of rain into the soil, risk of overflow of watercourses and irregular operation
of storm water galleries, due to irregular disposal of garbage. With the results
presented, there is an urgent need to protect these areas so that environmental
legislation is complied with and the areas are properly protected. It is emphasized that
this study aims to contribute to the environmental and management agencies
responsible for the unit.
