The change in land occupation from agricultural to urban generates the loss of important agricultural zones, an increase in irregular properties and the change in economic-productive activities. The objective of this study was to analyze the change of land occupation, from agricultural to urban, in San Bernardino, Texcoco, and its relationship with pluriactivity (diversity of activities). The methodology contemplates ethnographic observation and the application of surveys to ejidatarios in the locality. The detection of spatial change of land use from 1996 to 2007 was carried out with the methodologies by Bosque (2001), Eastman (2001) and Martínez (1989). The article presents: 1) sociodemographic analysis, as well as the pluriactivity found; and 2) territorial analysis of the change in land occupation. It concludes with a reflection regarding the results found, about the relationship there are between pluriactivity and the change in land occupation. For the case of the locality of San Bernardino, the relationship is cyclical, where the first is acting as factor and consequence; on the other hand, it is found that pluriactivity is directed towards the tertiary sector and the agricultural zone presents a loss of 4.41 ha per year.
