Abstract

The concept is to make an analysis of the urban, environmental and business environment of the activities inserted there, such as livestock, monoculture, human occupations, mining and industrial activities, especially the urbanization process. The soil of the year of the year is the loss of the environmental quality, especially in urbanized stretches. Thus, it is intended to address in more detail an urban area of João Neiva (ES) and the studio next to the Santa Cruz Village (Aracruz-ES), with its employment, in Permanent Preservation Areas. The methodology used is bibliographic research, books, theses, scientific articles, dissertations and resources on urban problems, watersheds, landscape degradation, among others. An oral history was also used (MEIHY, 2002), based on a semi-structured process for access to the landscape, occurrences in the region, and as territorial changes observed by the interviewee. As a result, which is the scenario, the predominant urban centers are indicative of occurrences, qualitative scarcity and prediction of inequality without water source. As characteristics of the urbanization process, the expectation of urban expansion (new subdivision projects and condominiums) and the consequences of eucalyptus monoculture associated with the pulp industry in the region since 1970 were considered. appropriation of water resources by the dynamics of capital, and the large area used for eucalyptus planting, caused a local territorial reconfiguration and a threat to indigenous species, as well as one of the ecosystems and ways of life of region.
