Resumo: ABSTRACT - The space has elements of physical, biotic and anthropic order that interact and impel other elements of an inferior hierarchy in a successive way which propitiate the formation of emerging properties that feed a system of higher subsequence, configuring what we visually know as landscape. This system possesses its own characteristics in accordance with each area of influence of more predominant elements, where it is possible the determination of patterns and models within a space and temporary scale. This work proposes the modeling of a landscape from geomorphologic variables (an element under geologic and hydrologic influences mainly), based on a digital model of the terrain in a region where the natural process and the anthropic one on the carbonatic rocks are expressive. Due to the drainage shape, the corrosive action on the rocks makes up the main characteristic of the carstic landscape instead of performing the erosive process. The proposed statistical method establishes relationships between morphometric parameters and pedological units.
