Abstract

Inadequate urban planning associated with the accelerated process of global urbanization has led to a decrease of environmental quality, especially in big cities. Good planning should consider early on a survey of different landscape units (LU) and the changes caused by human use, basic procedures for a reflection on the limits and capabilities of each specific type of landscape (LU). This work conducted a rapid assessment of the neighborhood Cabral - Curitiba / PR, classifying it in landscape units together with an assessment of the degree of anthropogenic change (hemerobie) of each LU. 7 LU were delimited and two sub-units with varying degrees of hemerobie between very low and very high within the group techno-ecosystems proposed by Haber (1990). It was concluded with the evaluation that the neighborhood Cabral has high hemerobie, but also has areas with vegetation cover that act as important contributors in the ecological functions and environmental quality, and should be preserved.

Keywords:  urban planning, landscape planning, landscape units (LU), hemerobie.
