Abstract
The present article it is about an analysis of the use and occupation of land in the Basin Stream Vinhedo located in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais. To this end, it becomes necessary to provide planning tools that enable to analyze and evaluate the impact of human occupation on the banks of urban streams. The use of geo-technologies like Remote Sensing fits into this kind of work as an indispensable tool in urban planning, since these allow based on the use of satellite images and tools of digital mapping and characterization of watersheds in the country. In this perspective, were used in this work Quickbird satellite imagery of 2007 and Google images of 2010, as well as the tool of digital image processing Spring, in order to make a preliminary diagnosis of urbansprawlfor the period of 2010, Basin Stream Vinhedo, through the characterization of land cover and use, identifying the major biomes and types of construction sites, which ultimately helping to identify and/or prevent potential problems, both environmental and social character, and their possible causes, it helps in creating and implementing measures to prevent or resolve these problems.
