SUMMARY:

This project aims to analyze the spatio-temporal patterns of the incidence of fires in the savannas of Roraima, specifically in the northeastern position of Roraima. The proposed theme is part of the historical and geographical context of the region's occupation, marked by a rich interaction between social, economic, political, and environmental influences. Occupation, from military expansion to recent agricultural development, has brought significant changes in land use and management, modifying the region's environment and socio-economic and cultural dynamics. In particular, the savannah of Roraima stands out for its ecological uniqueness and the conflicts generated by exploiting its natural resources. Climatic and geographical factors play a crucial role in determining fire vulnerability patterns. The savannah of Roraima has particular characteristics in terms of relief, geology, soils, and hydrography, which, together with human factors, accentuate the risks of fires. The dry or wet vegetation influences the spread of fire, while human activity, including deforestation and road construction, can aggravate the impacts of adverse climatic events. Within this context, the project aims to analyze the socio-spatial and temporal pattern of environmental management processes related to hotspots in the savannas of Roraima. Specific objectives include understanding the spatial and temporal pattern of heat density dynamics, identifying areas at risk of forest fires, and evaluating strategies for preventing and combating illegal burning. The methodological approach is systemic, focusing on analyzing interconnected systems to capture the complexity of the relationships and processes involved in the incidence of fires in the region. Through this methodology, it is possible to identify and understand the connections between the various factors that influence the outbreak of fires in the savannas of Roraima. The dynamics of fires in this environment are determined by the interrelationship of vegetative, climatic, human, and geographical factors. Variations in temperature and humidity, combined with geographical features such as altitude and topography, influence the occurrence and magnitude of fires. These natural dynamics are aggravated by anthropogenic disciplines, exacerbating the manipulation of the environment and increasing the risks associated with devastating fires. Detailed analysis, incorporating climatic observations and their spatial manifestations, is vital to managing the risk of forest fires in the Roraima savannah region, ensuring a sustainable approach to development and environmental conservation. An in-depth understanding of the historical process of land use and occupation, combined with knowledge of climatic and geographical patterns, allows for formulating robust strategies to prevent and combat forest fires, protecting local biodiversity and the region's communities. It seeks an interdisciplinary approach that interweaves the historical, social, economic, and environmental dimensions of this issue, contributing to the formulation of resilient public policies focused on the sustainability and preservation of the region.
