A broad social struggle for land results in the formation of rural settlements. This kind of conflicts creates a new social, economics and politics organization. So, to understand, appropriately, the desired territorial planning by the settled families, it is necessary to develop techniques that involve the community in taking decisions about the use of the land in this space. Thus, this research aimed to develop a methodology that puts the principles of Social Cartography in the techniques of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), having as empirical bases farmers in Itatiaia Settlement Project, located in the city of João Pinheiro/MG. The main results suggest that the community involvement in the collective construction of geo-referenced maps allow the incorporation and the translation of local knowledge to scientific knowledge. In addition, the technique showed that works including participatory processes involve mutual trust around agreements collectively negotiated. This mutual trust could be seen between members of the community and between these and the technicians. It was noted that during the research, settlers seek, with the exercise of mapping, represent the components of the landscape more present in daily life of settlers. Finally, when technology is dominated only by the technician responsible for the preparation of maps of territorial planning, the community does not see himself as part of the representation, feeling marginalized on access to information that generated the own image. It could be concluded that use of the principles of participatory mapping proposed by DRP and of social cartography as a method for the preparation of maps allow participants develop a geo-referenced participatory map about the use of land and the occupation of lots in agrarian reform projects.
