                         been done by conventional techniques which involve a high cost 
                         sistematic control. On the other hand, the orbital remote sensing 
                         allows a continuous land use control at lower cost. For being 
                         under governmental control the region located between Billings and 
                         Guarapiranga reservoirs was chosen as test site for monitoring 
                         urban growth through LANDSAT data. Mapping the urban growth over 
                         the period from 1977 to 1979 and identifying the problematic urban 
                         areas with several LANDSAT products constitute the basic aims of 
                         this work. Visual and automatic interpretation techniques were 
                         applied to the data. Computer compatible tapes (CCT)of LANDSAT 
                         multispectral scanner data were analyzed through the Maximum 
                         Likelihood Gaussian algorithm. The results pointed out the 
                         feasible monitoring of fast urban growth by remote sensing 
                         techniques leading to an efficient urban planning and control.",
