The development of techniques that allow the increase of the efficiency of practices of soil conservation is necessary front to the great damages caused by the erosion. In this sense, software was elaborated based on Geographical Information System that allows the planning of level terracing systems in a more rational way, considering the existent space variations in the land. As entrance data to the software, it should be supplied with elevation and slope images characteristics and type, the use and the handling of the soil, the methodology for the calculation of the spacing among terraces and, the recommendation of the type of advised terrace. As results the software supplies a map with the terracing system and a report with information for the implementation of the system.
