Abstract

This systematic review describes the use of geographic information systems to understand the loss of forest cover in the Amazon. The objective was to make a synthesis of the loss of forest cover, based on research articles. The PRISMA methodology was used, through 7 virtual libraries: Dialnet, Scielo, Redalyc, Proquest, Google Academic, IOP Science and Science Direct, studies from the period 2010 - 2020 were selected in the Spanish, English and Portuguese languages. Where the studies that did not meet the evaluation filters were excluded and the selected information was passed to a database matrix that included the title of the research, university, IMRD, author, year, concepts and keywords. As results, a total of 1 doctoral theses and 49 scientific articles were obtained, of which a matrix of article registration was made, characterization of the studies, showing a trend in 4 categories, which are: Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing, Indexes of Vegetation and Forest Cover. Concluding that the multitemporal analysis is the ideal method so that in a range of time the degree of affectation and the rate of forest loss in the Amazon can be estimated and determined.
