Abstract
Resumo: Como resultado directo da intensa urbanização do concelho de Almada, têm-se registado alguns conflitos entre o uso do solo e os processos geodinâmicos activos naquela área. Estes são, nomeadamente, movimentos de terrenos nas vertentes marginais que constituem os limites N e W do concelho, bem como diversos e importantes problemas de erosão, quer em taludes arenosos declivosos, quer ao longo das praias mais setentrionais do arco da Costa de Caparica. Neste artigo apresenta-se uma breve caracterização geológica e geomorfológica do concelho e referem-se alguns exemplos destes processos perigosos que interferiram com a ocupação do solo. Tecem-se algumas considerações sobre potenciais ocorrências futuras e também sobre a relevância que a actual informação disponível sobre aqueles processos perigosos pode representar para se conseguir o desenvolvimento sustentado daquele território.
Abstract: Some conflicts have been registered between land use and active geodynamic processes in Almada council, as a straightresult of its intense urbanization. These are, namely, landslides in the marginal slopes that constitute the North and Westborders of the council, as well as several and important problems of erosion, both in sandy steep slopes, and along thenorthernmost beaches of the Costa de Caparica beach arch.A brief geological and geomorphological characterization of the council as well as some examples of geohazardous eventsthat interfere with land use are presented in this article. Some considerations on potential future events and also on therelevance that current available information about those geohazards can represent in order to achieve a sustainabledevelopment of that territory are made.
