Land Management. Taking environment-integrated decisions

However large the project, it cannot be greater than the respect for the social and natural environment surrounding it.

The working methodology called Land Management is an extremely valuable tool for planning, implementing, following up and monitoring any kind of large project, whether industrial, infrastructure, mining or agricultural/forestry projects. Moreover, it has a competitive edge and offers institutional security, providing real-time solutions for a wide range of business and government demands.

In FBDS this process is based on the detailed survey of the characteristics of nature and society in the region of interest in order to form an easy to use large-scale geo-referenced database.

At any moment pointers are available to help make decisions, involving environmental, social and operational aspects, for example.

Land Management is the tool to prevent accidents and correct impacts. It encourages integration between community and company, supports personnel and/or the community, finds opportunities inherent in the social tissue of the region, and so on.

FBDS has vast experience in this sector, since it has undertaken a wide variety of projects, ranging from the metropolitan region of São Paulo (scale 1:2000) to the entire stretch of the Legal Amazon (scale 1:2,500,000), including geopolitical boundaries and drainage basins.

Some of its clients are major corporations, namely Petrobras, CSN, and Klabin, and government organizations, such as the Presidency of the Republic of Brazil, Ministry of the Environment, for example.
