The present article presents the results of a fieldwork that had the paths of chapadão de Catalão (Goiás, Brazil) as a study area, in the municipalities of Goiandira, Catalão and Ipameri, where changes in land use are constant, since the plated are mechanized, fertilized and irrigated forms of relief that have suffered great use of pesticides in the last decades. It was based on the bibliographical, photographic and empirical observations, given that the development of this research meets the method and techniques of qualitative research which emphasizes the participation of researchers in the studied context. Among the concepts worked on in this text are landscape, perception and paths, with na emphasis on the works of Bertrand (1968), Ab’Sáber (1969), Rougerie (1971), Bernaldez (1981), Ribeiro (1989), Christofoletti (1993), Santos (1997), Feltran Filho (1997), Ferreira (2006), among others. These theorists show that when a landscape is analyzed, it is necessary to consider factors that are conditioned to ecology, such as land uses, perception, understanding and management of it.
