Geography, as spatial science, relies on the use of quantitative methods applied with Geographical Information Systems (GIS). In this context, cartographic modeling and multicriteria evaluation techniques allowed the definition of a methodological strategy for identifying areas of potentialconflict between land-use at a regional scale (LUCIS). The research is carried out in the Luján River basin with the objective of defining these areas as a consequence of future spatial competition between urban land use, agricultural production and conservation areas. The results obtained are an excellent tool to use in the field of land-use planning.
