Acesso em:.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/2609The Brazilian topography information, in 1:100.000 scale, covering only 75,39 % of the country, leaving many empty mapping, especially in Amazon region. This information was derived by aerophotogrammetric methods, applied in aerials photos of the 60 to 80 decades. Because the complexity of applied methods and others technician problems, most of planialtimetric maps are outdated, which impossibility the use of them. Nowadays, the topography information is largely derived from digital elevation models, for example, imageries of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). In this paper, the SRTM was analyzed based on altimetric Cartography Accuracy Standard (PEC), in the update of Salinopolis map of 1982. The analysis of SRTM altimetry, on Salinópolis region, showed that it can be used in class C scale 1:50,000 and Class A scale 1:100,000. Since the SRTM images are compatible with the scale and class of Salinópolis map, was used the original version of the SRTM (90 meters spatial resolution) to update altimetry and Landsat TM-5 imagries on planimetric base, following Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics parameters. With the update was found several differences, mainly in relation to planimetry. The update is very important, especially in coastal regions due to the dynamics and intensity of the different natural processes and man-made active, in addition, this methodology could be the basis for the upgrade of other maps and generation of new maps without this in of information, thus resolving the issue of lack of topographical information in certain ranges.
