Abstract

Brazil has been exploiting its water resources to generate energy and promote socioeconomic development since the 19th century. An example of this policy was the installation of the Salto Osório Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP), located on the Iguaçu River. Despite the importance and Brazilian potential in electricity production, the implementation of HPPs influences their entire surroundings, causing major changes in the scenario. This work aimed to use geoprocessing techniques, census data and available literature to investigate the effects resulting from the implementation and operation of Salto Osório HPP on its context. For this, supervised classification was carried out using Landsat orbital images on dates that made it possible to analyze the temporal evolution of land use and occupation in the study area and joint analysis with census data and bibliography. The results show that the implementation of the HPP, associated with fertile land and the strengthening of agriculture in the period, attracted many immigrants who, in the process of development of the surrounding municipalities, promoted significant changes in the landscape.

Keywords: Remote Sensing. Land Use and Cover. Salto Osório HPP.
