Resumen
The planning issue has always been an integral part of geographic studies. Every municipality has needs of studies to provide an understanding of their spatial relationships, so thereafter, their efforts and measures are directed to appropriate territorial interventions. In Nova Lima´s case, this care has great importance due to its significant transformation of territorial occupation, due to the interference of the mining activity and a close relationship with the state capital. This study aimed to characterize changes in land use and occupation of the city of Nova Lima in different periods, to understand what aspects influenced and are influencing the city´s evolution and identify regions driving the transformation, in other words: which regions are determinants areas as influence zones in land use changes in this municipality. With a set of data over the municipality´s spatial dynamics was possible: tocontextualize land use and cover transformations; to quantify landscape elements values of the study área and from topographic transformations, were identified areas with intense anthropic activity. Therefore, it was possible to identify future scenarios for Nova Lima´s land use, contributing to municipality planning and management.
