expansion and many more, requires government intervention, who have the duty to carry out
the Land Use Plans (PLOT) and land use planning (PLUS), to give the efficient and adequate
use to all regions of Ecuador. In this case, a proposal for a Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) methodology is presented, which is being applied in the Parishes of Santa Rosa de
Flandes and Jesús María, Naranjal canton, Guayas province, Ecuador, which is a modification
of the one described by the UN adapted to the conditions of our country. This design applies to
non-experimental research in a transsectional - correlational / causal descriptive type because
it will describe the relationships between variables with empirical - inductive epistemological
approach, carried out in four phases: preliminary, laboratory, field and data processing, where
the entire methodological procedure is developed to measure variables such as precipitation,
temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, natural fertility, texture, slope / topography,
geoforms, types of use, vegetation, land tenure, composition of the agricultural population,
tillage of the land, which then through analysis and classification allows planning and national
land management to give it the proper use and protect the environment over time taking
advantage of its benefits to production.
KEY WORDS: GIS, land use planning, Naranjal canton, land use, environmental protection.
RESUMO
Os avanços das atividades humanas, principalmente a produção de alimentos, têm levado ao
desgaste mais intenso do solo e colocando-o em níveis críticos, esta atividade em conjunto com
outras como a expansão demográfica, entre outras, requer intervenção governamental, que tem
o dever de realizar. Planos de Uso da Terra (PLOT) e Planejamento do Uso da Terra (PLUS),
para dar um uso eficiente e adequado a todas as regiões do Equador. Neste caso, é apresentada
uma proposta de metodologia de Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG), que está sendo
aplicada nas Paróquias de Santa Rosa de Flandes e Jesús María, cantão de Naranjal, província
de Guayas, Equador, a mesma descrita pela ONU adaptada a as condições do nosso país. Este
