Abstract

In the 50´s Rio das Ostras territory began to be divided by lots, mainly because of tourism activities there held. Since the 90´s, a great demographic boom has occurred in the region due to oil and gas exploitation in Campos Basin, and also to the installations of onshore support facilities for off shore petroleum production in Macaé. Disordered and unplanned human occupation together with unsustainable natural resources appropriation may lead to the exhaustion of native natural ecosystems. Th is article focus on the defining elements of urban occupation in the studied city, relating them to impacts on water resources.
