Geotechnical Cartography Applied to Territorial Planning: A Pedo-Geotechnical Approach
Occupying territories without prior knowledge of the physical environment often leads to problems arising from inadequate planning. On April 10, 2012, Law No. 12,608 was enacted, establishing the National Policy on Protection and Civil Defense (PNPDEC). Article 3° of this law outlines territorial planning policies, highlighting that geotechnical mapping is fundamental for risk mapping and territorial planning. This study aimed to develop a methodology applicable to physical environment planning at a 1:50,000 scale, specifically for urbanization purposes. The proposed method involves creating a pedogeotechnical map, combined with physical indices, providing subsidies for creating of the geotechnical map. A practical application of this methodology was conducted in the municipality of Guapimirim, located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. The choice of this test area is justified by its diverse physiographic and environmental conditions, allowing validation of the method in various environmental contexts. The results suggest that developing a pedogeotechnical map, with its pedogeotechnical units and including physical indices as a precursor to the geotechnical map, is a practical and straightforward approach. This methodology enables the identification of suitable and unsuitable areas for urban expansion and indicates potentials and limitations related to their use. Ultimately, implementing this approach contributes to more sustainable urban planning, considering the characteristics of the physical environment, promoting risk prevention, and ensuring community safety.
