Abstract

Zoning has the function of making the development of urban and rural areas compatible, defining restrictions and adjustments to the use of the soil. A subdivision of environmental zoning is geoenvironmental zoning, which considers the landscape as a physical and conceptual tool/contribution to the planning actions. The municipality of Rio Grande (Rio Grande do Sul-South Brazil), which is situated in a lagunar area, with sectors far away from the beach, allowed different uses of the urban and rural spaces, which drastically affected the operation and organization of the landscape. Therefore, there has been a need for studies on environmental planning, being the objective of this research to present the geoenvironmental planning for Rio Grande municipality. The geoecology of landscapes will be used as a theoretical and methodological approach, as it allows the establishment of geoenvironmental units. The geoenvironmental zoning defined six areas, which are: preservation, conservation, damping, rehabilitation, improvement, and use. The geoenvironmental zoning allowed the proposition of rules to the adequate use of the environment, conciliating the characteristics of the physical environment with the needs of socioeconomic dynamics.
