Land use procedures represent an interdisciplinary synthesis that need an important set of spatial and non spatial databases, in a specific temporal axis. Land use planning assumes a landscape delimitation to evaluate the environmental offer and social demand: both are useful in sectorial and spatial planning. The main objetive of this paper is to propose a model of geomorphological regionalization as a basis of ecological regionalization A pilot study In the State of Michoacán, in Central Mexico is present. The principal elements to define legends have been formulated and described: those may act as spatial models at regional levels (reconnoissance at 1:250 000. useful to state level). In addition, methods to zoom In at lower levels are proposed.

Keywords : Geomorphological regionalization; ecological regionalization; spatial units; regional and sectorial planning; Michoacán; Mexico.
