Resumo

Natural landscapes have lost some of their characteristics due to human actions over time. Several sciences study natural processes based on non-social and non-political concepts that externalize the effects of human activities on systems. In this sense, emerging sciences such as socio-hydrology and sociogeomorphology face this lack of integration between natural sciences and society. The interdisciplinarity of sociogeomorphology allows identifying the hybrid production between humans and nature. The landscape is modified not only by natural processes but also by the decisions taken within the communities. Likewise, social development is influenced by natural processes, which establishes a bidirectional relationship between them. The present study examined the basic concepts of sociogeomorphology with a view to establishing a baseline. It will surely allow directing future work in the area of natural resource management. The concept of sociogeomorphology and human-nature interactions were discussed. The bibliographical review used the Google Scholar database In order to verify that there are some researches in this area at the national and international level. However, the lack of delimitation of this science does not allow its full identification. The potential for applying sociogeomorphology in studies of restoration of natural systems, land use planning and management, and natural disaster management is glimpsed.
