LIBERTI, eduardo; ESTEVEZ, Laura  and  NUCCI, João. Land Use Mapping and Urban Environmental Quality Mapping to upper part of the Belém river basin, Curitiba, State of Paraná, Brazil. GOT [online]. 2019, n.16, pp.177-201. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2019.16.008.

The diferent uses of land in cities, a reflection of human activities and public policies, affect changes in the landscape and, consequently, in the urban environmental quality. Based on the classification proposed by Nucci et al. (2017), the land use of the upper part of the Belém river basin in Curitiba/Paraná/Brazil was mapped, lot by lot, and a map of the area's environmental quality was constructed. As a result, it was possible to spatialize and discuss how the environmental quality of the study area is configured, demonstrating several conflicts between land uses. The proposed classification, which relates land use to urban environmental quality, has been shown to be easy to apply and understand, constituting an important tool for urban planning and management as well as for popular participation in this process.

Keywords : Urban Ecology; Landscape Planning; Landscape Ecology; Urban Environment; Urban Landscape.
