R. R. aAvaliação do Cenário Agropecuário Atual de Assentamentos Rurais do MATOPIBA.h[electronic resource] aIn: SIMPÓSIO BRASILEIRO DE SENSORIAMENTO REMOTO, 18., 2017, Santos. Anais... Santos: Inpe, 2017. p. 5217-5224c5224 aLand use and suitability are essential tools for territorial planning of rural settlement. This work describes an analysis of these factors in a group of 18 MATOPIBA consolidated rural settlements created more than 10 years ago. These settlements are located in 12 different cities, 1 in Bahia, 6 in Maranhão and 11 in Tocantins, summarizing more than 77 thousand hectares and sheltering almost one thousand families. Regional scale data allows an overview of the situation. A land use analysis indicates a majority of natural vegetation and pasture, which represents 56% and 36%, respectively. Land suitability presents that 63% of the area is suitable for crops use and 36% for pasture. The intensive use for crops heavily depends on the use of technology. This can be a limiting factor for the development of many rural settlements. The intensive use to the land for agriculture heavily depends on the technology application. These results provide a background to discussions about suitable land use and regional development. aLand suitability aLand use aAptidão agrícola da terra aAssentamentos rurais aRural settlements aUso e ocupação1 aDALTIO, J.1 aFONSECA, M.
