摘要:The state of Pará has the highest deforestation rates in the North Region, although deforestation is relatively recent in the municipality of So Félix do Xingú, which has one of the highest deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon. In this study we aim to analyze, through geotechnologies, the spatial and temporal distribution of fires during two years in this municipality. The municipality showed a significant increase in fire scar alerts and consequently an increase in the extent of areas degraded by the action of fire. There was an increase in the occurrence of hotspots as there was a reduction in precipitation levels, being influenced by both anthropic and environmental factors. The highest concentration of hotspots is in APA Triunfo do Xingu. The use of data made available by public agencies associated with GIS resources allowed the identification of the location, shape and size of the area affected by fires in the municipality during the analyzed time interval, enabling its use in firefighting planning, mainly in regions of large territorial extension, providing efficiency and speed in preventing and fighting large-scale fires.
