fragmentation reduction and improved connectivity among the natural vegetation patches, by<br />

using landscape metrics at patch level, class level and landscape level. The findings revealed<br />

that the introduction of ecological network implies an increase of connectivity among the<br />

natural vegetation and riparian patches and it represents a vector for alternative transportation<br />

and an area for eco-compatible activities, in an integrated way with the actual infrastructure<br />

and services: university campus, zoo, thermal waters, etc. Besides, ecological networks<br />

developed an important function of preservation for hydrological resources, by increasing the<br />

buffer areas and decreasing, this way, the pressures from pollution and debris flow, especially<br />

along the Batalha River, which was the spine of the proposed projects.<br />

KEYWORDS: habitat fragmentation, ecological network, multicriteria evaluation.
