The processes of territorial and ecological planning in the municipality of Morelia require the definition of territorial units that allow diagnoses that integrate its social and natural problems. Therefore, this objective is to obtain territorial units, with a systemic character, that serve as a basis for planning, based on the study of the interrelationship between social and natural systems. Integrated Landscape Management methodologies are used based on landscape geoecology. In the municipality, classified as urban, geoecological units were established to define the functional zoning of the city of Morelia, its urban, peri-urban and rural zones, and to identify the geoecological units and anthropogenic landscapes that show the differentiation of the processes and levels of modification originated by the historical appropriation of space by society. The article presents a classification method and a cartography of this units that will allow to perform an integrated diagnosis, a forecast and land use proposals, with the use of natural, anthropogenic, economic, social, and demographic indicators evaluated in each unit.

Keywords : environmental degradation; human activities effects; landscape; environment; environmental planning.
