Abstract
This work aimed to map the Permanent Preservation Area (PPA) along the Mumbuca stream located in Monte Carmelo - MG. The determination of irregular occupation areas, as well as the mapping of land use and occupation, were obtained from the classification supervised through the SAS Planet computer program. In the Mumbuca stream PPA area, 64.43% were occupied by vegetation, 22.17% of urban use, and 13.39% by water. The initial section of the PPA that passes through the city center, was responsible for most of the irregular occupations in the area of permanent preservation, being that 21,02% of the 22,17% of the urban use, was located in this region. The rest of the PPA, which corresponded to about two-third of the total area, had only the remaining 1.15% of irregular occupations in the permanent preservation area.
