Abstract
In order to identify land use conflicts in Carayaca located in Vargas state, in the following research the LANDSAT 8-OLI satellite image was used for the estimation, analysis and quantification of conflicts of use. The methodological process used integrates techniques of digital processing of satellite images with spatial analysis of thematic information, which allowed to determine categories of land use and types of vegetation cover. The spatial analysis revealed that the space has particular characteristics, natural aspects that give it some environmental fragility, anthropic intervention and presence of Areas Under Special Management Regime, which with the non-compliance of the current legal system have led to the existence of conflicts of use. Three types of conflicts were identified: normative, by slope and erosion, with an area of 43% of the total evaluated area. It concludes with use and management strategies that lead to solve conflicts, raise the quality of life of the population, achieve sustainable economic development, and preserve natural resources and energy sources. It is recommended to use conservation practices that control erosion, implement programs and actions that have the purpose of land-use planning, by coordinating, applying and supervising actions that contribute to the regulation of land-use occupation, resource utilization and recovery of degraded areas framed in a process of participation and environmental co-responsibility in order to ensure efficient land-use management
