Fuzzy Modelling applied to the Analysis of Landscape: A proposal for participatory environmental assessment
Journal Title: Fronteiras: Journal of Social, Technological and Environmental Science - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper aims to show the use of fuzzy logic as inference tool to decision support in analyzes of the landscape. For this, was created a mathematical model in order to express more realistically the environmental condition of the landscape. Through the construction of a environmental quality fuzzy index for the landscape, with emphasis on physical, biotic and social environments, as well as weighting criteria (severity, significance and magnitude), it was possible to articulate a method to evaluation harmful human actions to the environment, which are often subjectively treated, by the presence of uncertainty and personal considerations. This information system, enhanced with the fuzzy index has been developed and applied to study in river watershed JundiaÖMirim, is showing important to strategic management, with potential uses for social mobilization, to enable participatory environmental assessment.
