Abstract

Land cover and land use (LCLU) maps delineate different typologies and arrangements of human activity and the environment. The methods of LCLU mapping are constantly evolving, ranging from field surveys and photointerpretation to sattelite image classification by algorithms. The objective of this study is to analyze different LCLU maps, in particular those with national or global coverage. Through the exploration of concepts related to LCLU and the selection and analysis of the LCLU maps, the objective is to understand the similarities and differences between the methods used. The methodology consisted of bibliographic research and the spatialization of LCLU maps in the area of the Caminhos dos Cânions do Sul UNESCO Global Geopark. The LCLU maps analyzed were the Vegetation Mapping of Brazil, the Monitoring of Land Cover and Land Use, MapBiomas, ESA-CCI mapping, and ESRI mapping. The results obtained showed the concepts related to LCLU, as well as the trend of mapping large areas by satellite image classification by algorithms rather than photointerpretation and field surveys. The results highlighted the differences between classification systems and methodologies; however, it was possible to verify the similarity in the distribution and proportion of classes. Finally, due to the lower resource requirements and continuous technological advancement, it was noted that recent LCLU maps rely on new algorithms, new forms of image access, and new means of data processing.
