Abstract
COSTA, Vivian Castilho da and MOURA, Josilda Rodrigues da Silva de. Analysis of the tourism potential in the Campo Grande and Guaratiba Administrative Regions (ARs), west Rio de Janeiro's Municipality (Brazil). Invest. Geog [online]. 2003, n.52, pp.137-152. ISSN 2448-7279.
This work summarizes the study conducted in two Administrative Regions (ARs) of west Rio de Janeiro's Municipality, namely: Campo Grande AR and Garatiba AR. The main objectives were: assess the development and potential of tourism activities in these two ARs through the use of geo-processing techniques, and propose general guidelines for application. The analysis of key findings was carried out separately for each AR, as they represent areas facing different realities despite their geographic proximity. This process revealed the short-term need of better municipal and state planning in relation of the distribution an characterization of spaces reserved for urban expansion. The assessment of tourism potential also showed significant differences in occupation processes between these two ARs, as well as in the nature of the activities required to make an optimum use of this potential.
Keywords : Tourism potential; urban-life quality; geoprocessing.
