RELAÇÃO DE FATORES AMBIENTAIS E ANTRÓPICOS NA OCORRÊNCIA DE DESLIZAMENTOS NO MUNICÍPIO DE SÃO LUÍS – MA, BRASIL

Abstract

Landslides are considered modelers natural processes of the landscape and can be the result of natural processes or human activity. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between environmental and anthropogenic factors with the occurrence of slip in São Luís In the methodology adopted to compare the spatial distribution of risk in the study area with environmental and anthropogenic factors. The results obtained showed that factors such as soil, geology and slope are only part of a complex system that triggers the occurrence of landslides. The amount of occurrence is not related to the areas of greatest slope or less susceptible to the type of soil in relation to frailty, however, the population density has shown that the amount of slip and the occurrences are directly linked to the amount of homes per square mile, along with determining the occurrence of slip in São Luís.
