Abstract

In this article the main topic of interest is to explore the analyzing possibilities of exploiting data available from multiple sources. We chose to use several methods of data investigation, as follows: in the GFW (GlobalForestWatch) geoportal; in the ArcGIS Online application created based on MapBuilder; in ArcGIS Pro. The results and conclusions were extracted based on charts and model elements, offered by the latest version of ArcGIS Pro. The purpose of this work consisted in integrating different sources of data regarding forested areas. Thus, it is revealed the importance of integrating the information that can be obtained in GIS with those from the geoportals of spatial data, all of which can bring benefits to the local administration for creating strategies. The obtained result draws attention to protected areas vulnerable to change by 2050, and also present in loss areas, constituting a starting point for the thorough monitoring of these areas.
