The present process of rapid urbanization and concentration of people and economic activities in Brazil causes pressures and changes, and impacts, in a harmful and direct way, local environments, mainly watersheds. In this scenario, the Geoenvironmental Zoning of Rio Mandu Watershed, south of Minas Gerais, was carried out. The Geoecology of Landscapes design, based on the concept of geosystems, in which the landscape is studied from the systemic perspective, considering the relationship between nature, economy, society and culture, was used. From the adopted methodological-theoretical assumptions, it was possible to identify the location and characterize the suitability of the anthropic uses having in mind the natural environmental system. From then on, the bases for consideration of the environmental management of the local landscape for sustainability through propositions of appropriate uses of natural resources were established.
