MELO, Ana; COSTA, Fernando; CABRAL, Ana e NUNES, Maria. Acessibilidade e ocupação do solo em regiões de fronteira da Guiné-Bissau. GOT [online]. 2014, n.6, pp.223-239. ISSN 2182-1267. https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2014.6.013.
This study aims to evaluate the road network’s accessibility and to analyze land cover in borderlands of Guinea Bissau, using techniques of remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and basic concepts of network analysis and was developed within the project “Geospatial Tools on Demarcation and Management of Guinea Bissau Boundary - GEOBOUND”1. The analysis focuses on two regions where the boundary is, in part, demarcated by river valleys, one located in the northern sector with Senegal and another in the eastern sector with Guinea-Conakry. The results show that the road network and land cover have continuity between countries and also reveal a certain similarity, in each of the regions, in terms of cross-border accessibility, without the interference of the valleys.
