So by the municipality cross the major communication tracks and infrastructure. This work aims to analyse the transformation of the landscape of the municipality from the evolution of the use and land cover of the past 50 years, using the GIS, oral sources (historical memory) and photo interpretation. Knowing where the most important socio-environmental changes have took place and in what type of cover, when and why have occurred. This analysis has been done theoretically by analysing socio-demographic, historical, physical and biotic. Graphically, with the completion of two maps of land use and land cover, one from 1956 and other from 2013 and as well as ethnographic with in-depth interviews to residents of the municipality who have experienced these changes and photointerpretation.
