             abstract = "The urbanization process in Brazil, since its beginning, was, 
                         generally, marked for the lack of urban planning, resulting in a 
                         series of environmental and social issues. In this context, the 
                         objective of this work is to investigate the occurrence, what led, 
                         and what are the main environment impacts caused by the urban 
                         expansion in the cities of Itajub{\'a}, Santa Rita do 
                         Sapuca{\'{\i}} and Pouso Alegre, cities from the south area of 
                         the state of Minas Gerais. The study was conducted in an GIS 
                         environment, and consisted of the following steps: (i) acquiring 
                         LANDSAT 5 and 8 images that covers the three cities for the years 
                         of 1984, 1994, 2004 and 2015; (ii) creating a colorful composition 
                         of the images; (iii) drawing a shapefile polygon over de built-up 
                         areas; (iv) calculating the urban areas; (v) analyzing the 
                         temporal evolution of the urban areas. Results show that there was 
                         an urban increase in all the analyzed periods in the studied 
                         cities. However, when analyzing the urban expansion rate, it was 
                         found that: in Itajub{\'a} there was a fluctuating growth; in 
                         Santa Rita do Sapuca{\'{\i}} the growth has remained crescent; 
                         in Pouso Alegre, the city with the higher urban area growth, the 
                         growth rate has been decreasing. The large built-up areas growth, 
                         detected in all of the studied cities, can be, mostly, attributed 
                         to the industrialization process, and also due to the 
                         concentration of universities in the area, which, both, stimulates 
                         people to reallocate themselves in the studied cities.",
