                         radiometric resolution. The present study assesses the 
                         environmental impact of urban growth on the Western Sao Paulo 
                         Metropolitan Area from 1975 to 1985. Multidate digital data from 
                         MSS/LANDSAT, TM/LANDSAT and HRV-SPOT were registered and urban 
                         structure changes with that period was detected. Color composite 
                         photograph of TM band 5, 3 and 4 were applied to map the urban 
                         land use for new urban areas. HRV-SPOT panchromatic data, 
                         digitally enlarged to the scale of 1:10.000, were applied to urban 
                         structure mapping and environmental monitoring. Ground truth data 
                         collection and helicopter-borne data collection were used to 
                         complement the remote sensed data. Several environment degradation 
                         levels were determined and compared to the {"}physical Aptitude 
                         for Urban Settlement Chart{"}. The results showed that 
                         environmental impacts are more related to the pattern of urban 
                         settlement than to the physiographic environmental change as far 
                         as orbital remote sensing is concerned. Soil erosion is caused by 
                         the removal of vegetative cover, but the erosion rates are 
                         controlled by the different patterns of land use.",
