                         can be a new possibility to better understand the urban sprawl 
                         process, especially in the medium-sized cities, where the changes 
                         are faster and the focus of researcher are minor. The aim of this 
                         paper was to analyze the urban sprawl process in medium-sized 
                         cities by using the fractal dimension method associated with the 
                         density occupation. For this, four medium-sized cities in the 
                         S{\~a}o Paulo state were selected: Botucatu, Itapetininga, 
                         Piracicaba and S{\~a}o Jos{\'e} do Rio Preto. These cities were 
                         selected according to differences in morphology, population and 
                         relief aspects. It was utilized remote sensing images of Landsat 
                         TM and historical maps comprehending the period of 1938 until 2005 
                         for the analysis. The digital processing and a spatial analysis 
                         were developed. The results showed the efficiency in the use of 
                         fractal dimension method associated with the occupation density in 
                         the urban growth analysis. All urban areas showed the most 
                         elevated D values in the urban center and minor to periphery. 
                         While the traditional methods consider the total urban area and 
                         the increasing in time, the fractal dimension considers the 
                         irregularities of this growth by the differences in urban fill.",
