ABSTRACT
Due to the increase of the resident population in urban areas, irregular topography areas
appear as an erroneous alternative that can condition the occupation process of many
cities. However, the occupations have occurred without the concern with the
characteristics of the urban site, and the problems have not only been of a social order,
but also of an environmental order, since the anthropic actions originating from these
occupations intervene in the dynamics of the elements that make up the different
environmental units In favor of the opening of new urban spaces. The contemporary
perspective of land use as a commodity leads the population deprived of purchasing
power to occupy flood-prone locations in rainy seasons, such as near steep surfaces with
the potential for landslide events, as well as other related problems To the installation of
residences on surfaces with low stability, directly affecting the life of the inhabitants of
certain localities in the urban system, showing that access to the land still in the present
day is one of the biggest problems. The city of Campo Verde, which is the chosen area
for study, is strongly influenced by the agricultural activity, in this sense the geological,
pedological and geomorphological characteristics influence the occupation of the urban
site, generating in the space of the city a social separation by levels of Income and
environmental risks. Thus the present research had as main objective to understand the
Socio-spatial segregation and its relation with the relief. For its development were carried
out theoretical-methodological surveys on the process of territorial occupation based on
a temporal space analysis and for analysis of the urban site the work was supported in the
resources made available by the geotechnologies, a medium used to elaborate the maps
of slope, hypsometric, Geomorphological analysis of the urban site of the city of Campo
Verde in medium to large scale, with data from SEPLAN. The research competence lies
in the urban question that governs most Brazilian cities, where housing rules are governed
by the economic condition, not by the conditions of the urban site, and geomorphology
provides subsidy for the implementation of guidelines for occupation in the
environment urban.
