Resumo: | Geography is characterized by being a science endowed with an ample capacity of
apprehension of knowledge of the world. Being situated at a crossroads between the basic and
applied sciences, on the one hand, and natural and social, on the other, it seeks to work at its
core with the complex, dynamic and eminent relationship between man and nature. Since the
classical thinkers, for example, Alexander Von Humboldt and Élisée Reclus, this (systemic/
integrated) thinking permeates the basic studies that ended up being responsible for the
epistemological enrichment of geographic science. However, the extreme specialization of
Geography, based mainly on the dichotomy between Physical and Human Geography,
weakened its theoretical field in the XIX and XX centuries, which came to be overcome, even
from the same century, by the return of systemic thinking, through new formulations such as
the General Theory of Systems proposed by Ludwig von Bertalanffy. This theory was the
background for the geosystemic conception, founded by Viktor Sochava and Georges
Bertrand, who allied himself with the concept of landscape for the formulation of a Global
Physical Geography, which is intrinsically linked to the objects of study of this dissertation.
Here, as a fundamental parameter, Bertrand and Souza reflections on the characteristics of this
delimitation of landscape units. Based on this perspective, this study aimed to elaborate the
delimitation of landscape units of the Northern Coast of the state of Rio Grande do Norte and
Adjacent Areas. Using a methodology oriented by the physical/physiognomic aspects of the
studied area, it was tried to work with the scale of 1:50,000, in which the taxonomy of the
geofacies was prioritized. Therefore, geoprocessing and remote sensing techniques were used,
by means of the cartographic data vectorization and high resolution images, together with
fieldwork. As definitive results, it is important to emphasize, first, the detailed
characterization of the physical aspects of the entire delimited area. In addition, mapping was
performed of 17 (seventeen) geofacies, which were analyzed, regarding their physical
characteristics, as well as in pointing out their potentialities, fragilities and peculiarities. |
