FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / Inserido na zona costeira cearense, 85 km a oeste de Fortaleza, o municÃpio de Paracuru apresenta intensa dinÃmica geoambiental expressa na forma de variados tipos de relevo que evidenciam as trocas de matÃria e energia no sistema costeiro. Tomamos em anÃlise as influÃncias oferecidas pelo promontÃrio de Paracuru à sua dinÃmica costeira e litorÃnea. Assim, a pesquisa se baseou na anÃlise do relevo litorÃneo como instrumento à compreensÃo da dinÃmica geoambiental do referido municÃpio. Realizou-se pesquisa bibliogrÃfica em diferentes meios (livros, periÃdicos, internet), levantamento cartogrÃfico para a produÃÃo de mapas temÃticos, trabalhos de campo para reconhecimento e construÃÃo de anÃlises sobre o espaÃo costeiro, e etapas de gabinete para o tratamento de dados e escrita do trabalho final. Desenvolveu-se a caracterizaÃÃo ambiental, anÃlises sobre a dinÃmica litorÃnea e a formaÃÃo socioespacial do municÃpio considerando os principais usos do solo. Demonstra-se que o promontÃrio de Paracuru desenvolve funÃÃes determinantes na atual configuraÃÃo do litoral ao controlar a distribuiÃÃo de sedimentos transportados pela deriva litorÃnea e ainda que a variedade de usos do solo determina historicamente o acÃmulo de impactos ambientais na planÃcie costeira paracuruense. / The city of Paracuru is part of the coastal area of the state of Cearà and is located 85 km from the capital, Fortaleza. Paracuru presents intense environmental dynamics that can be seen through various types of reliefs that show the exchanges between matter and energy in the coastal system. This paper took under consideration the influence of the Paracuruâs promontory in the coastal and littoral dynamics. Thus, the research was based on the analysis of littoral relief to understand the environmental dynamics of that part of cityâs coast. To analyze these coastal areas, it was made bibliographic search, cartographic survey and fieldworks, plus some cabinet steps for the treatment of data. The environmental characterization and analysis of the coastal dynamics demonstrates that the Paracuruâs promontory develops determining functions in the current configuration of the coast because it controls the distribution of sediments transported by longshore drift. The analysis also shows that the variety of land uses determines historically the accumulation of environmental impacts on the coastal plain of Paracuru.
