Abstract

With the increasing demand of information by governments and society, whether rural or urban, expressed in different zonings, the GIS has been an essential tool because it uses mathematical and computational techniques for the treatment of geographic information and has influenced so increasing areas of Mapping, Analysis of Natural Resources, Transport, Communication, Planning, Regional and Rural. This has contributed greatly to the regional development strategies designed by the various agents. Rio Branco, capital of Acre, is establishing strategies for regional and local development based on the Program Zoning Economic, Environmental, Social and Cultural Rio Branco (ZEAS), considered a strategic tool and sustainability will contribute significantly to the planning and reorientation of public policies, supporting and subsidizing land management decision-making in the private sector and society in general. This study, therefore, is part of an effort to understand the contributions and integrated regional development with the use of GIS to survey various information for ZEAS.
