The Environmental Fragility of The Coastal Area of ​​São Paulo In The Face of Contamination By Landfill: Contribution to the Possibilities of (Management) Decontamination and Reuse.

 

The present work aims to deepen and discuss the weaknesses of coastal soils in the face of contamination by dumps. Although the dumps were suspended, important areas remained that were contaminated. However, as it is an area that was much explored in more remote times, it is being recovered and with possibilities of urban uses, or even for recovery for use in leisure. Bearing in mind that coastal areas are very important for the economy of the cities located in areas them, mainly because they involve transition areas from coastal to marine environments and many of them may have a geomorphological configuration favorable to ports of flow of national production or receipt of products imported - via ocean. In order to know how the areas contaminated by dumps are being recovered in an environment even more fragile by the genetic characteristics of its soils, waters, relief and landscape, as well as by the dynamic processes arising from the continent, the sea and the atmosphere by the climate. With a case study, we seek to analyze the possibilities of better use in the management of these areas that were once contaminated by dumps and analyze the geomorphological compartmentalization and resilience of this fragile environment. And also describe the methods and techniques applied in these areas for their revitalization.
