- SOIL USE AND OCCUPATION OF WIND FARM AGRICULTURAL AREAS Manoel Fortunato Sobrinho Júnior Elis Regina Costa de Morais Paulo César Moura da Silva Ciencias de la Tierra Wind Energy Environment Serra do Mel Remote sensing Wind energy, despite being considered clean and renewable, has negative impacts in the social and environmental scope, significantly altering coastal areas and the interior of Northeast Brazil, this is mainly due to the new land uses arising from the installation of wind towers. Thus, the objective of this research was to analyze changes in land use and occupation of agricultural areas exploited by wind energy, to identify the potential of these agricultural areas for the construction of wind farms and to verify the reconciliation between wind park and agricultural activity. Primary and secondary data collection was used, covering semi-structured interviews and analysis of satellite images. The study area was the municipality of Serra do Mel, located in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The results obtained were processed in the geographic information system QGIS and demonstrated through thematic maps and graphs. It was possible to conclude that the installation of wind farms caused few changes in the classes of land use and occupation, that the agricultural areas of Serra do Mel have great potential for wind energy due to the speed of the winds and the condition of the land and that there is the possibility of reconciliation of agricultural and wind activity. 2020 artículo científico 1984-2201 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=273664287012 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2736/273664287012/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2736/273664287012/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2736/273664287012/273664287012.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2736/273664287012/movil https://doi.org/10.4215/rm2020.e19030 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2736 Mercator - Revista de Geografia da UFC application/pdf Universidade Federal do Ceará Mercator - Revista de Geografia da UFC (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.19
