Landscapes have received a variety of classifications revised for some authors and it shows an analysis difficulty due to its complexity. In this sense the classification system proposed comprises six levels in spacial scale, considering the importance of climate and structural elements in units of biggest scale coverage. The landscape must be acknowledged through a society-nature interaction, added to an idiographic, systemic and integrated approach. Thus, the landscape has connotation as a component of environmental quality when observed as a cultural, aesthetic, historical, economic, recreational and ecological resource and, therefore, the classification here proposed seeks to facilitate the study and the observance of these places accordingly with 5 taxonomy units proposed and 4 predominant genetic models. Therefore, from the acknowledge of dynamic character of landscapes and its transformation from the interaction with humans and morphoclimatic elements, is possible to see the necessity of deepen the classification of landscapes considering genetic elements. Thus, in order to better comprehend the landscapes and stimulate its study under the integrated vision, considering beyond its ecological values, but as well its cultural, aesthetic values among others, it’s clear that the classification here proposed will assist experts for a good environmental planning.
