| Özet: | Currently, the growth rates of cities is a global to guarantee spaces for housing, demands for services and leisure while at the same time guaranteeing the maintenance and preservation of green areas that make up a sustainable landscape. This paper proposes the use of landscape metrics analyzes to guide decision-making, striving to identify and characterize fragments in order to select units that are capable of becoming corridors in balance with the territory's anthropic occupation. In this way, the motivation of this article is to revisit the principles in the use of landscape metrics by using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis models in geoprocessing since results show that spatial shape and distribution metrics are very useful in characterizing anthropic occupation in comparison to the vegetal cover. This paper's main contribution is a comparative table between metrics applied to urban cover fragments and vegetal cover fragments. The process is illustrated through a case study of an important landscape characterized by conflicts of interest and demonstrates the application of landscape metrics and morphological analysis on regional planning. By revisiting morphometric studies (Landscape Ecology), it innovates by applying its logic to urban areas and urban area studies and presents a proposal on how to identify dynamic conditions, evaluating each urban fragment according to its condition for expansion, potential to influence territorial transformations or for stability in terms of transformation. |
