The Municipal Human Development Index (MHDI) is a standardized way of assessing human development at the municipal level. This study aimed to evaluate the stage of development of the municipalities that emerged in the area of the Marechal Dutra Directed Settlement Project (PAD) in the state of Rondônia (RO). The methodological procedures were organized in steps: creation of a geographic vdatabase; statistical analysis; and preparation of thematic maps. The results showed that the municipality of Ariquemes has a moderate development stage (MHDI = 0.753), while the municipalities of Alto Paraíso, Cacaulândia, Monte Negro and Rio Crespo are in a regular stage of development, with MHDI between 0.519 and 0.575. The disparity of human development of the municipalities that were created from consolidation of the PAD Marechal Dutra follows the trend of socioeconomic inequality of Brazilian macro-regions.
