Abstract
ABSTRACT: This research aimed to study the parameters of the current and past Brazilian Forest Act based on the Federal Laws No. 4,771 and 12,651 for the determination of the permanent preservation areas (PPA). Water springs and streams for 68 rural properties located at the Santa Catarina State Southern Plateau were considered. Thematic land use/land cover (LULC) as well as PPA maps from the visual interpretation of ortho rectified aerial images were elaborated. The PPA percentage for recovering over consolidated rural areas is directly proportional to both fiscal module size and area of the rural property. Comparing to the Law No. 4,771, there was a significant reduction in the PPA to be recovered on consolidated rural areas. In small rural properties there was an average reduction ranging from 54.6% to 81.8%. A total of 122,372 hectares (7.6% of the total area) characterized as PPA in consolidated rural areas can now be used economically.
