Abstract

The knowledge of the socioenvironmental reality is essential for the development of proposals and actions in areas exposed to the degradation of their natural aspects. This study aims to analyze the diverse economic activities that occur in the portion of the Jaguary River Watershed located in the State of Minas Gerais and its main socioenvironmental impacts. The methodology involved a survey of the reality of the Camanducaia, Extrema and Itapeva municipalities, where the main tributaries of the watershed studied are located, aiming to highlight the current trends of land use and their main impacts, and the analysis of impacts used the "Scale of Environmental Quality, for a non qualitative factor". It was observed that the growing process of urbanization and industrialization, the expansion of monocultures, farming practice without adequate management, lack of proper tourism planning and the precarious conditions of sanitation are the main responsible for the degradation of natural resources in the studied area.
