Abstract

The analysis of the human being in the environment where he lives is of paramount importance due to the increase in the degradation of the environment, making the environmental analysis of great importance because it is identical to the problems in the environment. In this sense, the geoenvironmental analysis helps to identify the potential and weaknesses of the site, helping in decision making. Therefore, this conclusion work aims to carry out geoenvironmental aspects of the municipality of Toropi, RS. For this, a collection of maps was produced with ArcGis that in the end will generate a geoenvironmental map dividing the municipality into units and describing its characteristics, the maps made were the water, hypsometer, slope, geomorphons, landforms, land use, permanent preservation areas, lithology, and soils. The final geoenvironmental map of the municipality of Toropi generated 8 geoenvironmental units through the union of all the information carried out during the work, being the units of flat areas in sandstone, smooth hills in sandstone, smooth hills in volcanic, hills strongly undulating in sandstone, strongly undulating in volcanic, the association of hills, hills, and tops in sandstone, association of hills, hills and tops in the volcanic and urban unit. The potential found in the units is related to agricultural production, it is worth noting that some units have remarkable possibilities such as the construction of a spa or a viewpoint. The main weaknesses found in the units are related to the inappropriate use of areas with vulnerability and areas of degraded preservation areas. The acquired results can help public agents in decision-making.
