Resumo

In recent years, it is possible to realize a change in the profile of deforestation in the Amazon, reflecting increasing rates of “little deforestations”, result from the diversification of productive activities related to family farming. In the Amazon, the state of Pará stands out for its strategic location when considering the Arc of Deforestation in advance, and also for its contribution in the distribution of lands by the Agrarian Reform, whose settlements add 1.055 units and 221.04 families installed. In this context, this paper aims to investigate the influence of the settlement projects of agrarian reform have on deforestation in the city of Novo Repartimento (PA) from 2000 to 2013. Keywords: Settlement; Conservation; Deforestation; Dynamics
