Movimentos de massa em áreas urbanizadas e a relação com o risco geomorfológico: revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

Mass movements are derived from erosive processes that are natural phenomena, human practices can accelerate soil erosion, resulting in the generation of areas of geomorphological risk. In this sense, the general objective of the work is to characterize mass movements and the correlation with geomorphological risk in urbanized areas, while the specific objectives are: to define mass movements; identify the relationship between mass movements and irregular occupations in areas of geomorphological risk; and describe cases of mass movement recorded in Brazil. The methodology used is a bibliography review through an organized collection of references, scientific articles, books, book chapters, among other publications were used. The research was carried out on the Google Scholar and Periodicals Capes platforms. Based on the results obtained, it can be stated that human actions contribute to the occurrence of mass movements, triggering environmental, social and economic damage, configuring the location in an area of geomorphological risk. It is concluded that decision-making in relation to populations that already occupy areas classified as geomorphological risk must take into account the social dynamics of the location, to avoid possible problems generated as a result of the removal of people from the environment.
