ACTIVE FIRE DATA, LAND USE AND LAND COVER IN CERRADO AREAS IN THE MATOPIBA REGION/BRAZIL

Active fire data. Vegetation. Remote Sensing. bibliometrix.

Fire is undoubtedly an agent responsible for significant changes in different landscape environments. Thus, the objective of this work is to evaluate the relationship between hot spots and land use and land cover in areas of the Savannah. The methodology involves systematic research, bibliometrics, spatial analysis (Kernel, Moran Index and land use and land cover relationship) of data from hot spots in a Geographic Information System (GIS). In this sense, understanding the space-time dynamics of the occurrence of hot spots is of fundamental importance, given the environmental impacts caused by fire, which can be negative. Thus, the research hypothesis is that fire, derived from burnings and/or fires, in savannas, predominates in extensive agricultural areas. And it is hoped that this study will cooperate to clarify the origin, dynamics and propagation of fire in relation to land use and cover. Thus, in the second part of this report, article 1 is presented, which is already included and will be translated and sent to a magazine. Article two is under development and its structuring is partial.
