URBISAMAZÔNIA: Extensive Urbanization in Amazon Region

Explore the concept of extensive urbanization in the Amazon region through identifying spatial units of human occupation. Discover the nature of contemporary urban phenomena in Amazônia. This project delves into the multi-scale configuration of cities, places, and networks. Utilizing Landsat and CBERS multi-resolution data, spatial units like commercial areas, residential patterns, and unique settlements are mapped and analyzed. Fieldwork conducted in September 2010 led to the identification of diverse human occupation categories across various locations in the Brazilian Amazon. Understand the spatial organization and characteristics of different urban sectors in this vibrant region.
