Abstract

This thesis aimed to show that, in the Goiania occupation process, the geoprocessing is an important tool for the Director Plan elaboration, execution and verifying.This thesis is justified since it is necessary to know if a new expansion is fundamental, because the last one happened in 2007 and there are yet many vacant plots of land and big areas not shared into the urban perimeter. The methodology used to elaborate the thesis was the geoprocessing, which is compound by Image Digital Processing IDP and Geographic Information System GIS. The geographic referencing, the image classification and Coordinates System conversion techniques were used in IDP. In GIS, thematic maps, using both classified image and Goiania Digital Basic Urban Map, were created to compare the evolution of county soil use and occupation. After hard study, it was concluded that urban expansion is not fundamental, because, by geoprocessing, it was proved that there are available areas in Goiania that can be well utilized on the city dynamics, since somebody executes and respects the 2007 Director Plan.
