Resumen
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.
