Changes in land use and occupation in areas of environmental and social relevance require geographic science to integrate integrative analyzes of the landscape that emphasize the relationships between physical and biotic environment with anthropic activities. The objective of this article was to analyze the historical process of occupation and the changes of landscape structure from 1984 to 2015 in Parana Valley microregion considering the morphopedical compartments as units of landscape integrated analysis. The area stands out due to international environmental relevance pressured by the advance of the agricultural frontier directed from the south and the west. The methodology was based on temporal analysis of land use, evaluating the landscape structure using metrics and assessing the historical behavior of the occupation and environmental limitations in morphopedic compartments. The results indicate the presence of six compartments with process of fragmentation of remaining vegetation and exponential advance of agriculture in areas including fragile ones. Emphasis was placed on the anthropic occupation in CMP I and III and the indication of environmental conservation in the others.
