ABSTRACT: 
This paper approaches a research requested to the LabFSG of the UFSC by the Municipality of Säo José. The problem appeared from 
a community action of the neighborhood of the seashore of the historical center of the city (from the Antonieta to the Ada beach) 
against the municipality that resulted in the seizure of the construction of a highway, known as “Beiramar Continental”. The 
community action alleged that the construction of the highway would commit the quality of the water, besides provoking a damage 
of the cultural heritage. It fell to the research to prove the truthfulness or not of these allegations in order to allow the municipality to 
accomplish the works in order to improve the quality of the citizens' life, without harming them, without hurting the legislation or 
still, without blemishing the constructions and the historical monuments. The risings of the pertinent legislation began, in order to 
evaluate the legal situation concerning to, property right, access to the beach, “terrenos de marinha” (Brazilian coast lands that are ' 
between an parallel line 33 meters from the medium high tide of 1831and the high tide of 1831), among others. The maps obtained in 
1995, was evaluated as well as the group of aerial pictures that originated it. Besides these, it was collected images, corresponding to 
the area, of the years of 1938, 1956 and 1978. Through ground control points implanted, it was made the rectification of the images 
above obtaining as product ortophotos of each one of the years. It was also collected maps, which contains the determination of the 
medium high tide of 1831. As final product, ortophoto maps were generated (of each one of the dates previously mentioned) 
containing the themes: medium high tide of 1831 and the themes of the 1995's cartography. Simultaneously it grew a research with 
relationship to the historical characterization of the city's occupation, which during many years was trade point and passage of 
products between the plateau and the Island. Using Monitoring techniques it was possible to determine the situation of the 
occupation, where the historical damage had already happened, the water was committed, there are few public accesses to the beach, 
which were taken by private accesses and part of the occupation was accomplished through legal infraction, being like this the 
seizure most harmful to the citizens than the facilities construction.
