This work wants to articulate remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems as an example of the potential that can be obtained from the use of different techniques for spatial analysis of different information, the advantages of storing, transforming, processing, and displaying information in a geographical area specific has been used in this research to determine an innovative methodology that can be used in determine the expansion of the agricultural frontier in the province of Pichincha, region Mejía, this study relates the biophysical variables shown in different thematic maps for the years 1999 and 2010, assuming a 10-year period of increase, the methodological scheme of this research can be used to determine the growth of the agricultural zone, using the weighting variables considering use and cover (10%), texture (30%), production systems (10%) and slope (30%), this work obtain a correlation index of 0,87. The use of GIS and remote sensing in this study were used as complementary versatile tools that facilitated the management of different kinds of toppings shaping a predictive modeling that can be applied to the Plans of Land Use and Development of the Canton Mejía.
