Abstract
Since the environmental issues problems pointed by the (1972) Stockholm United Nations Conference, (1992) ECO-92, and more recently (2012) Rio+20, the scientific community set the necessity to discuss programs and actions which guarantee the cities sustainable development, based in a green economy which lead to a world poverty eradication. In addition, it have begun to ask about the humankind participation, as modelator and changing agent in environmental system. In Brazil, it have been evolving in this challenge, since universities to consulting and projects companies, the research institutes, the public departments, environmental associations, besides the professionals in many areas. In an international scope, the organizations as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (BIRD), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) also are not out of this, since then, they start contributing directly with environmental side Programme. Front the briefly exposed issues, the present work has as its aim to show the geoecologic mapping, as proposal and subsidy to city territorial planning politics, using as its base the study applied in Ourinhos city, São Paulo State, Brazil. For that, it have presented the (1994) Rodriguez methodology, which based in Geosystemic analysis, joint to the landscapes Geoecologic conceptions, proposes a synthesis cartography, approaching to environmental planning, the "Carta das Unidades Geoambientais", which indicates the Landscape Geoecological State from analysis of: a) Geoecological Function (matter and energy emitter, transmitter or accumulation areas); b) Potential Use Capacity (physic parameters and the legal restrictions of land use and occupation); c) Social, Economic and Cultural Function (analysis of land use and occupation nowadays; the economic activities; life quality aspects; infrastructure and services, as well as the information about the social, politics information and cultural aspects);d) Relationship between Potential Capacity and Social-Economic Function (compatible, incompatible, adequate and inadequate); e) Environmental risks and problems Identifications; f) Geoecological State which classifies the landscape in optimized, modified and exhausted. The obtained results indicate that in the systemic proposal, the landscape unities are considered as subject and object of human activities. Subject in the way that landscapes have characteristics (potential resources) which serves as basic support to social development. Object, looking towards that with the its dynamics, the human activity change the landscape which bases it.(Mateo Rodriguez et. al., 1995, p. 84). It is exactly this double consideration about landscape - as basic support for society, when potential resource and; as transformation object in social necessities satisfaction process - the fundamental scheme for natural and social dynamic comprehension of city landscape, over a sustainable optic of territory organization.
