Population and building densification usually occurs because of the lack of environmental restrictions which compromise ecological processes, the quality of environmental and human well-being. The aim of this research was to identify the restricting elements of densification to provide subsidies to safeguard part of the ecological processes that can help to improve the environmental and life quality on Landscape Units delimited in the urban area of the city of Paranagua, on the coast of the State of Parana. The study was based on Urban Ecology and emphasizes the structural elements of landscape to elaborate the thematic map of density restrictions. This map was based on fifteen elements of restriction of densification inferred by the dynamics of the landscape. Each one of the eight identified Landscape Units presented restrictions in population and building densities. Only the predominantly residential units with streets that concentrate commercial and service uses have the restrictions restricted or absent vegetation, reduced or absent road afforestation, existing flood points and low potential for non-motorized displacement that could be removed or altered. Through this planning and ecological process monitoring to improve the quality indicators of the environment and in the absence of other restrictions, and respecting the limits of the landscape, the densification could occur.
