No litoral compreendido de praia da Via Costeira o processo de uso e ocupa??o do solo se estruturou ao final da d?cada de 1970 e in?cio dos anos de 1980, resultado de uma pol?tica governamental de cunho desenvolvimentista, pautado na implanta??o dos megaempreendimentos tur?sticos atrav?s do Projeto Parque das Dunas/Via Costeira. Tal projeto teve a finalidade de instalar na cidade de Natal, capital do Estado, equipamentos de infraestrutura neste trecho do litoral constitu?do por campos de dunas e um mosaico de ecossistemas de alta relev?ncia ambiental e fragilidade natural, que se apresentava em um semi-isolamento no contexto urbano da cidade, para o desenvolvimento das atividades tur?sticas, est? considerada como solu??o econ?mica vi?vel capaz de corrigir os graves problemas socioecon?micos que perduravam no local. Partindo dessas premissas, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo estudar as formas de uso e ocupa??o do solo e a transforma??o da paisagem na faixa litor?nea da Via Costeira, munic?pio de Natal/RN. Estas transforma??es ocorrem muitas vezes sem levar em considera??o a complexidade e fragilidade natural dos ecossistemas envolvidos. A an?lise geoambiental foi realizada com base na teoria geossist?mica, deste modo, foi poss?vel analisar as interven??es humanas nas geof?cies da ?rea de forma hol?stica. Os procedimentos pr?ticos foram contemplados com pesquisas bibliogr?ficas, seguida do trabalho de campo onde foi feito o reconhecimento e caracteriza??o geral da ?rea, com o prop?sito de averiguar e analisar os principais tipos de uso e ocupa??o do solo que ocorrem na ?rea desde o in?cio das constru??es, tendo como apoio para isso os instrumentos legislativos que tratam da prote??o e conserva??o dos recursos naturais costeiros. A pesquisa tamb?m contempla a identifica??o e avalia??o dos principais tipos de impactos negativos ocasionados em fun??o das diversificadas formas de uso que geram conflitos ambientais e sociais nesta por??o costeira. Para tanto, foi realizada a an?lise espacial multitemporal a partir de ortofotos, fotografias a?reas e as obtidas no trabalho de campo e imagens de sat?lite. As informa??es extra?das desses instrumentos foram utilizadas na confec??o dos mapas de uso e ocupa??o do solo, da espacializa??o dos impactos e os demais mapas tem?ticos. Trabalhamos com a hip?tese de que a implanta??o dos megaempreendimentos na Via Costeira e as diversas formas de uso intensificadas pelas a??es humanas, n?o considerou os aspectos naturais e as restri??es de uso nesta ?rea, estes seriam os principais fatores que geram a supress?o e degrada??o deste ambiente e consequentemente a transforma??o da paisagem natural. / The coastal area of the city of Natal due to its location and natural potentialities has been an area where we have experienced big changes in its environment, at the expense of several forms of use and human occupation. On the coast of Via Costeira beach the process of use and land occupation was structured at the end of 1970s and early 1980s, as a result of the government policy which has developmental essence, based on the settlement of plenty big enterprises by the Parque das Dunas/Via Costeira Project. This project was created to install in Natal, capital of the state, infrastructure equipment on this stretch of coastline consisted of dune fields and many parts of ecosystems which have high natural relevance and fragility that used to present a semi-isolation in the urban city, for the development of tourist activities, which is considered as a viable economic solution capable of setting right serious socioeconomic problems that had persisted there. According to what was said so far, this study aimed to analyze the forms of use and land occupation besides the change of the landscape along the Via Costeira coast in the city of Natal/RN. These changes often take place without considering the complexity and fragility of natural ecosystems involved. The geoenvironmental study was based on the geosystemic theory, thus It was possible to analyze the human interventions in the superficial aspects of landscapes holistically. The practical procedures were contemplated with literature searches, followed by field work where were fulfilled the recognition and general characterization of the area in order to investigate and analyze the main types of land occupation and its use that have taken place there since big buildings began to come out, being supported by the legislation whose laws are about protection and conservation of coastal natural resources. The research also includes the identification and evaluation of the main types of negative impacts caused due to different forms of use that induce environmental and social conflicts nearby this shore. Thus, It was carried out a spatial and multitemporal analysis from orthophotos, aerial photographs and others taken during the field work besides satellite images too. The information which is taken out from these instruments was used to draw maps related to land occupation, spatial impacts and other thematic maps. We worked on a hypothesis that the implementation of mega enterprises on Via Costeira and many different forms of intensified use by human actions, has not considered the natural aspects and restrictions of use in this area, these ones would be the main factors that brought on the suppression and degradation in this environment and consequently the transformation of the natural landscape.
