The implementation of rural settlement projects in the Amazon can generate large impacts on the environment when are not associated with adequate planning. This study aimed at mapping land use and land cover in the area of the settlement project 26 de Março, in Marabá, Southeast of Pará State, Brazil, in order to assess the status of jurisdictional land use. We relied on products and techniques of remote sensing and GIS.The results showed that the study area landscape is dominated by pastures and secondary vegetation, with few original remaining forest fragments as forest areas are much more modest. We also observed that a considerable portion of the Permanent Preservation Areas does not comply with the Brazilian laws related to protection of riparian zones. In relation to the Legal Reserve, even though the same have not yet been deployed, this study a proposition was made based on level allotment.Downloads
