The tourist activity, consolidated in the region at the 80’s, is responsible for a big amount of the economic movement in Florianópolis. This activity causes many changes at the landscape where it is done, either good, like the technology and development lead to the region, or bad. The bad consequences get still worse when the tourism happens without a great planning. The disordered occupation of the Island, either by the local inhabitant or by tourist equipment, gets to a saturation of the streets, destroying the preserved areas, polluting the water. These results would occur in any ecosystem, but gets worse by the fragile condition of an Island and hard recovery of the original individuality. To avoid or alleviate those bad results will be studied the tourist equipment occupation in the Island, analyzing the areas with the biggest concentration and harms caused by that.
