The West Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro is covered by the neighborhoods of the West Zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Planning Area 5 and some municipalities in Baixada Fluminense. This study area is considered the main expansion axis of the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ) and deserves to be highlighted due to the changes that have occurred in the landscape, especially due to initiatives implemented over two decades (2000 – 2020), with the construction of the Arco Metropolitano and the installation of some projects. The mapping of these areas aims to identify the land cover classes that exist within the limits of the region, aiming to carry out a multi-temporal analysis of the dynamics of the landscape of this region and contribute to the adoption of public measures to help respond to environmental issues, such as building models susceptibility to fires, environmental education, environmental and urban planning, in addition to socioeconomic studies. The preparation of the land cover map took place in four stages. In addition to this, the Geographic Information System (GIS) software QGIS 3.18 was used, the Dzetsaka plugin was used to carry out the supervised classification and the AcATaMa plugin was used to carry out the mapping evaluation.
