APPLICATION OF FUZZY LOGIC FOR SOIL PERMEABILITY STUDY OF THE IMPACTED REGION OF THE SANTOS REGION

Abstract

Soil pollution has increasingly been a concern for society and the authorities. It is a complex issue that involves political, economic and also technical difficulties. One aspect of relevant interest are the mechanisms of permeability whose knowledge is very important in the analysis of environmental impacts in different contexts. The purpose of this work was to study the permeability of soils impacted region of Santos using fuzzy inference systems. The proposed methodology was applied to data from collections located in urban and administrative centers of the peripheral part of Santos. As a result two maps of permeability of the studied region are shown, obtained by different methods of defuzzification, centroid and the average maximum. It is observed that such maps, although with different permeability characteristics are in agreement with what is expected of a coastal region, thus showing that the methodology is viable for this type of study.
