For the investigation of Socio-environmental changes of "Morro Moravia" mixed research methodology was used with analytical empirical approach. Development stages comprises: a multitemporal analysis and an analysis of the perceptions of the social and environmental transformation of a site that began as a garbage dump and had a subsequent resettlement. For the multitemporal analysis we used images of google earth of the years 2005, 2008, 2011, 2013, and 2015 which were properly georeferenced by the identification of control points. It was also carried out the systematization and review of the interventions carried out in the framework of several projects developed in the site, in order to detect the changes that occurred with its implementation, as well as the measurement of the perception that the community has against these Interventions based on the use of surveys
