O estudo analisa a correlação entre a expansão da infraestrutura de transporte público e as transformações no uso e ocupação do solo no Rio de Janeiro entre 2009 e 2019. A metodologia empregou análise espacial em SIG, com a delimitação das áreas de influência dos modais Metrô, BRT e VLT. A classificação cruzada indicou que cerca de 20% das áreas analisadas sofreram modificações relevantes. Os resultados apontam que a relação entre demanda e transformação territorial é influenciada por fatores socioespaciais e evidenciam o papel estruturador do transporte e a necessidade de políticas integradas de mobilidade e ordenamento urbano.

The urban environment of Rio de Janeiro has its own complexities when compared with other large cities in Brazil and around the world. In addition to its peculiar topographic structure, the history of the city – from its foundation to the present day – has led to unique and contradictory characteristics. A multipurpose land cadastre (MLC, in Portuguese: Cadastro Técnico Multifinalitário), since its inception in Brazil, promises to adapt urban environments to a new reality, facilitating the management of their entire territories by using tools such as geographic information systems. This study intends to identify and analyse the main issues that prevent Rio de Janeiro from establishing an effective MLC, most notably the existence of a variety of land-use bases with legal value, but which are contradictory if examined cartographically. This study was carried out by examining a subset of Rio de Janeiro: the Bangu neighbourhood. Bangu was chosen for being a considerably complex neighbourhood, with a variety of land uses that reflects the urban fabric of Rio de Janeiro as a whole. The analysis not only points out inconsistencies in current cadastral bases, but also suggests tasks and policies to help overcome them and provide the city with appropriate cadastral bases that reflect the reality of its urban soil.

Resumo O presente trabalho apresenta uma metodologia envolvendo levantamentos e análise de índices de vegetação. A região escolhida foi a recém-criada Unidade de Conservação denominada Área de Relevante Interesse Ecológico Floresta da Posse. O objetivo final foi a integração dessa região ao Cadastro Territorial Multifinalitário da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Os produtos gerados incluíram: 1) inventário de bases cadastrais e produtos geoespaciais existentes; 2) levantamento topográfico dos limites e feições de interesse; 3) geração de um modelo digital de elevação e curvas de nível; 4) processamento de imagens de sensores ópticos; e 5) integração dos produtos geoespaciais ao Sistema de Informações Urbanas do Município do Rio de Janeiro (componente do Cadastro Territorial Multifinalitário). Os resultados apresentam não somente os produtos obtidos através das distintas geotecnologias, mas também uma análise referente à sua integração enquanto ferramenta de gestão e planejamento de Unidades de Conservação em diferentes cenários.

Contemporary metropolises, particularly those in the Global South, grapple with the complex challenge of balancing urban development with environmental conservation. In such contexts, forest remnants often face constant threats from illegal urban encroachment and insufficiently defined boundaries, which undermine conservation efforts and hinder effective legal enforcement. This study explores cost-efficient, geographic-information-technology-driven solutions to improve the management of conservation units and incorporate them into cities’ multipurpose land cadastres. By employing tools such as a remotely piloted aircraft, total stations, and GNSS receivers, this work highlights the pivotal role of geotechnologies in safeguarding the urban natural heritage. These technologies not only address the pressures of urban expansion but also enable continuous monitoring and impact assessment through geographical information systems (GISs). To illustrate these applications, this study examines a case study from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Darke de Mattos Municipal Park, to demonstrate how accurate geographic data can significantly enhance planning and management efforts while maintaining cost-effectiveness.

The transport sector can be considered one of the most important in promoting urban mobility in Brazil. The lack of efficient road planning and transport greatly affects people's daily journeys. Another important factor is the increase in the number of vehicles in Brazilian municipalities, which also contributes to the negative outlook regarding traffic in Brazil. This work aimed to use Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) to obtain images that enable analyzes of the surface conditions of the asphalt pavement. The place where the study was carried out was the BRT TransOeste corridor in Rio de Janeiro, which connects the Barra da Tijuca region to Santa Cruz and Campo Grande, passing through Guaratiba and Recreio dos Bandeirantes. The following procedures were adopted: flight planning with RPA, observing the Ground Sample Distance (GSD) recommended by scientific literature, field support using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Networked Transport of Radio Technical Committee for Maritime Service (RTCM) via Internet Protocol (NTRIP) technology, processing of images obtained using Agisoft software, generation of orthophoto orthorectified and assessment of distress on the asphalt surface based on the analysis of images obtained with RPA using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI).
