With the goal of avoiding and reducing the accident risks with oil it is necessary to understand the natural vulnerability, mapping natural resources and monitoring the oil spill. The use of computational tools for environmental monitoring makes possible better analyses and decisions in political management of environmental preservation. This work shows a methodology for monitoring of environment impacts, with purpose of avoiding and preserving the sensible areas in oil contact. That methodology consists in developing and embedding an integrated computational system. Such system is composed by a Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS). The SDSS shows a computational infrastructure composed by Web System of Geo-Environmental and Geographic Information - SWIGG , the System of Environmental Sensibility Maps for Oil Spill AutoMSA , and the Basic System of Environmental Hydrodynamic ( SisBAHIA a System of Modeling and Numerical Simulating SMNS). In a scenario of oil spill occurred coastwise of Rio Grande do Norte State s northern coast, the integration of such systems will give support to decision agents for managing of environmental impacts. Such support is supplied through a system of supporting to spatial decisions / O litoral norte do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (RN) apresenta ?reas da bacia Potiguar com intensa atividade da ind?stria petrol?fera. Com a finalidade de prevenir e minimizar os riscos de acidentes com ?leo, faz-se necess?rio compreender a vulnerabilidade natural, mapear os recursos naturais e monitorar os derrames de ?leo. O uso de ferramentas computacionais para o monitoramento ambiental, possibilita uma melhor an?lise e tomada de decis?o no planejamento de pol?ticas de conserva??o ambiental. A presente disserta??o apresenta uma metodologia de trabalho para o monitoramento de impactos ambientais, com o prop?sito de avaliar e proteger as regi?es sens?veis ao contato do ?leo. A metodologia consiste em desenvolver e implantar um sistema integrado, constituindo um Sistema de Apoio ? Decis?o Espacial (SADE). O SADE apresenta uma infra-estrutura computacional composta pelo SWIGG (Sistema Web de Informa??es Geogr?ficas e Geoambientais), o AutoMSA (Automatizador de Mapas de Sensibilidade Ambiental para derramamentos de ?leo) e o Sistema BAse de HIdrodin?mica Ambiental (SisBAHIA um Sistema de Modelagem e Simula??o Num?rica - SMSN). Num cen?rio de derramamento de ?leo ocorrido pr?ximo ?s ?reas costeiras do litoral norte do Estado do RN a integra??o destes sistemas disponibilizar? aos agentes respons?veis pelo gerenciamento dos danos ambientais, um sistema de suporte a tomada de decis?o espacial
