“…The greater variation found in the maximum width of the canal are on the Quitandinha river, with differences of 19,84 meters. Along all analyzed canals, comparing both documents used, one can notice the suppressing of features, river islands, as it was mentioned by Fernandes et al (2017). Another relevant aspect about Quitandinha river is that the medium value of width in the canal has suffered a variation of only 1,61 m. One can say that the sharpest width variation occurred in an occasional manner and they were concentrated in some sections of the Quitandinha river.…”

Historical cartography has been increasingly important in understanding the landscape transformations, especially in the urban environment where different historical records are used. The present work aims at identifying and comparing, from historical and current records, the changes occurred in the three main rivers that cut the genesis area of the city of Petrópolis (Quitandinha, Palatino and Piabanha). The main research material consists of the Koeler Map (1846), a document that guides the urban planning of the city of Petrópolis, which was designed in line with the drainage network, produced in a 1: 5,000 scale and the most recent cartographic base of the city (1999) in scale 1: 10,000. The georeferencing and vectorization of the Koeler Map made it possible to perform different measurements, such as river width and winding. Later, the same procedures were performed on the most recent cartographic base of the city, in order to create comparative parameters for changes in the course of the rivers and their floods. The results show the suppression of four river islands and a decrease of sinuosity of the rivers with a variation of +0.575% to -2.436%. In the Quitandinha river were recorded the biggest changes and the largest flood record (97%), indicating that changes in the drainage network are significant elements in understanding flood dynamics.

“…These indices incorporate both linear and area measurements and are also sensitive to readings on the modelled surface, which is particularly relevant to the steep topography within the studied drainage basins. Fernandes et al (2017) showed a significant increase in basin area and drainage length for the modelled surface in relation to the planimetric surface of 18.8% and 5.31%, respectively, in an area with very similar slope characteristics to the three Petrópolis basins. Fernandes et al (2012) also showed a 9.55% decrease in population density in areas of rugged relief, with slopes similar to those of the analysis area.…”

“…The actual physical map was at an advanced stage of degradation and was restored in 2016 (Neves and Zanatta, 2016) (Figure 4). This map was projected on a scale of 1:5,000 (Fernandes et al, 2017) and shows planned urban occupation following the drainage network, with the streets and avenues running parallel to the rivers. Aiming to map land cover and quantify the Edification Index in the basin area, an image of 29 February 2019 was acquired from the USGS Land Explorer site, taken with an MSI instrument by the Sentinel-2 mission.…”

“…The Koeler Plan and the Koeler Map was a project which showed due regard for responsible environmental use (Rabaço, 1985). The plan and map was the first Code of Works of Petrópolis, prohibiting buildings on hilltops and the subdivision of lots horizontally (that is, parallel to their front line) (Rabaço, 1985;Neves and Zanatta, 2016;Fernandes et al, 2017). The Koeler Plan was an urban plan whose spatial reference element is the Koeler Map, which functioned as a guide for handling and minimizing the effects of landslides and floods.…”

Dynamics, structure and function are geoecological characteristics that define landscapes. These characteristics help explain landscape processes, such as floods. This article analyses geoecological variables to understand flood dynamics in the original historical district of Petrópolis City (Brazil). Concepts and techniques of historical cartography and GIScience were used to analyse geoecological variables in three river basins (Quitandinha, Palatino and Piabanha) within the study area. Each basin had a river island which was excavated and removed. The Quitandinha River Basin had the largest river island (965 m2), the highest Edification Index (44.12%) and the most favourable geomorphological indices for the occurrence of floods. Hence, the basin recorded 93% of flood events within the three basins. Multiple geoecological variables influence flood dynamics. In this urban landscape, changes in the drainage network, intensified by disorderly urbanization and geomorphological processes, are extremely important in understanding flooding processes.
