Geography, as a science of relations, has as object of study the geographic space, configured from the relation man-nature. Thus, the landscape becomes a reflection of the relationships and derivations associated with the forms of social organization that impose functionalities. In the State of Sergipe, when analyzing the historical occupation process, significant anthropogenic derivations are verified, resulting from the types of land use by social groups, the implementation of public policies and the lack of technical assistance that interfere with the natural dynamics. The object of this study is the irrigated perimeter of Bitumen, located in the sub-basin of the Betume River, located on the right bank of the São Francisco River, partially covering the municipalities of Ilha das Flores, Neópolis and Pacatuba, which are part of the Baixo São Francisco Sergipano. From the 1970s onwards, the Federal Government increased its financial investment in the implementation of public policies linked to economic activities - irrigated agriculture. The irrigated perimeter of Betume was implanted as a compensatory measure after the construction of the Sobradinho dam in the state of Bahia during the years 1973-1977, since it has had consequences for the local population that survives from the rhiziculture. The objective of this study is to analyze the anthropogenic derivations in the landscape dynamics, having as theoretical-methodological foundations the systemic conception, according to the geosystemic approach. Currently, the irrigated perimeter goes through precarious conditions in its infrastructure, as well as problems related to pests, diseases and weeds for rice crops, contributing to the indiscriminate use of pesticides; Another element that interferes with the irrigation system is the current environmental conditions of the São Francisco river, due to the reduction of the flow and the silting process, favoring water insufficiency and compromising the productivity of the lots. In addition, the anthropic pressure resulting from the exploitation, pollution and uses of natural resources, without proper planning, favors the existence of possible potential socio-environmental risks. Therefore, the elaboration of this study may support environmental planning and decision making in the area.
