Abstract

Satellite images mapping is an essential tool for urban planning, specifically in identifying areas suitable for tree planting. This study aims to identify roundabouts as potential planting sites in the urban area of Palmas-TO, through spatial analysis based on Google Satellite images and vectorization in QGIS. The methodology consisted of vectorizing 242 roundabouts, which allowed quantifying vegetation cover and identifying opportunities for expanding tree planting. The use of these spaces can significantly contribute to increasing vegetation, improving thermal comfort and the environmental quality of the city. The results showed that the roundabouts occupy a total area of 1.04 km², with only 0.11 km² (10.4%) covered by tree canopies, while 0.93 km² (89.6%) represent an area suitable for new plantings.
