In general, the creation of a municipality, in any phase (village or city) was related to three factors: importance (local or regional), local conditions (geology, geomorphology, natural resources) and potential for current and future development (economic, human and political). Sete Lagoas was created initially with these three aspects in a secondary position due to its proximity and relationship with the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte. Raising these aspects in the fieldwork helps to understand the physical and social framework and favors the understanding of how and when development will continue to occur in the municipality and region. The adoption of Urban Geography studies with field activities provides Geography teachers better conditions to pass on theoretical and technical knowledge to students, as well as incentive to create ideas and concepts for the future of the place to be studied. The results presented demonstrate that field practice is fundamental to geography professionals, since the theory associated with the practice assist in the development of any municipal plan, since its installation, development and conclusion, even though these three stages are always being modified or updated.
