This article aims to analyse how the Tietê River is inserted in Barra Bonita’s urban landscape, in Sao Paulo State-BR considering the population's perception, history and socio-environmental context. First, we analysed the historical occupation of the Tietê River in the west of São Paulo and the foundation of the municipality of Barra Bonita. Then, we analysed the current socio environmental context and we made a land cover map of the river areas in the city. At least, we applied questionnaires about river’s perception to the population. The result was that the people still has a strong affective bond with the river. However, there are many polices and environmental practices that must to be implemented to explore the full potential of the city and to improve people's interaction with the river landscape.

Keywords : Urban rivers; Landscape; West São Paulo state; Fluvial water; Tourism town.
