AVALIAÇÃO DA PERCEPÇÃO E REPRESENTAÇÃO ESPACIAL DA QUALIDADE VISUAL DA PAISAGEM NA FLONA-IRATI/PR.

Abstract

The present study is to discuss the importance of methods of interpreting the reality, which is seen as a way to devise procedures of discussion of the landscape within the context of Geography. Professors may have which aid methodological criteria to qualify as an agent or actor of the landscape in field trips or even explanations in the classroom. It approaches of the development of abilities (which gives the individual) mediated and directed according to the academic and educational projects in higher education. The research methods are increasingly depending on technology, leading the observer away of the field. Debating the new technologies, the geographer must know clearly the items required for the verification of the landscape formed by the set of natural and cultural forms. Fot this, the aim of this study was to assess the perception and spatial representation of visual quality of the landscape (QVP) in a protected FLONA-IRATI/PR. The National Forest (National Forest Irati) located in central-south region of Paraná, 150 km from the capital Curitiba, with geographical coordinates 25 36’ west longitude and 25 17’ elevation south 50 30’ west longitude. (MAZZA, 2006) It has bordes on Irati, Fernades Pinheiro, Imbil, Teixeira Smith (ICMBio, National Forest, 2011). Was selected as a research field for its great rele environmental, social and cultural relevance. The methodological content applied to the students as a goal in the description of the: forms of vegetation, landform, soil types, rock types, forms oferosion, buildings, and second, interpreting the qualities inherent in each element (diversity, repetition, unity and change) perceived (or not) and recorded in photography, highlighted the geographical context and describing the hierarchies as culturally evaluative matrix printed on each individual. Research based on the students of higher education to use it as a theoretical method of interpretation of the visual quality of the landscape by the teachers. Factors raised by students during the outputs that need to bereviewed by government agencies of conservation Units focusing improvements to the management Plan.
