Abstract

This study synthesizes the outcomes of land use changes obtained through the implementation of dynamic modeling by cellular automata across two metropolitan regions in Portugal and Brazil. The purpose is to analyze the primary findings acquired, considering the particularities of each nation and evaluate the potentialities of the used data. The study examined the metropolitan regions of MRRJ (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and AMP (Porto, Portugal). Modifications were implemented in the DinamicaEgo software to the fundamental data representing static and dynamic variables for each context. The findings revealed a substantial increase of urban areas in the MRRJ, and the modeling demonstrated its applicability across the two contexts, considering the requisite modifications for the data accessible in each country.
