Description
INTERFAZ promotes the establishment of management measures and the use of the productive potential of the territory as tools to minimize risks caused by biotic and abiotic disturbances in the environment of rural areas and the urban-forest interface.
Objectives
- Create tools based on open data that allow management of the urban-forest interface and the environment of rural areas, minimizing the risk caused by disturbances to agroforestry farms.
- Generate sustainable management alternatives that minimize fires and other disturbances in these areas, taking advantage of the productive potential of the territory.
- Improve cooperation between agents with competence in territorial management, innovation agents and the agroforestry production framework.
- Cooperation and dissemination among rural populations.
Results
- Remote data collection and processing for the classification of current and potential uses and delimitation and design of protection actions and evacuation plans.
- Automated post-processing system for LiDAR data captured with drones, web app design for the development of self-protection plans against IIFF and training on forest biomass management in IUF (urban-forest interface).
- Maps of potential, suitability and prediction of future presence of forest species.
- Quantification and assessment of IUF ecosystem services, web viewer for consulting generated cartography, development of innovative territorial and social management models and reduction of fuel in IUF areas.
- Training in the agroforestry and livestock sectors.
- Establishment of a feasibility plan for a small self-managed business run by shepherds responsible for maintenance actions in the urban-forest interface.
- Cooperation between the agents involved in the primary value chain of products obtained from the urban-forest interface zone.
