A vida dirige o rio: cem anos de ocupação cabocla e extrativismo madeireiro no Alto Capim
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2003-02-17) MEDINA, Gabriel; SHANLEY, Patrícia
In the Brazilian Amazon, the increasing rate of deforestation has prompted the international research community to look for solutions that reconcile conservation and development. Since the late 1980s, researchers throughout the world have explored the role that extraction of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) could have to the well-being of forest dwellers as well as to the environment. This thesis explores the role that NTFPs play in the lives of rural communities in a dynamically changing timber frontier region along the Capim River in the eastern Amazonian state of Pará. As the timber industry advances throughout the Amazon basin, communities located along logging frontiers are increasingly approached to sell the rights to their timber. Such communities consider several aspects to assess the value of forest products. Besides socio-economic and ecological values (real value), there is relative value, which strongly influence the way resources are used. This relative value is based on representations regarding the importance of forest products and on the context in which these representations are formed. To explore this theme, the thesis begins with a historical reconstruction of a caboclo community focusing on forest resource use and dynamics during the last hundred years. For the households within the study communities, timber always represented a natural heritage that could be spent over time. It was the principal product with market value and, during initial timber sales, extraction did not significantly reduce access to other forest products. Therefore, timber resources represented an inheritance with exchange value and little conflicting use. Four socioeconomic factors were identified which influenced communities to sell timber despite the losses in NTFPs that they began to experience over time: 1) paternalistic relationships among buyers and caboclos; 2) difficulties in common property resource management; 3) quick cash gained from timber sales guaranteed access to market products and; 4) expanding market involvement required increased cash to meet increasing needs. To understand the value which communities grant to forest products in their decision-making it is fundamental to identify the real alternatives that NTFPs represent to households and to compare this with other land use options.

Desenvolvimento da produção agrícola e intervenção social: estudo de caso em uma comunidade da Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável de Mamirauá
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2003-06-30) NASCIMENTO, Ana Claudeise Silva do; MOURA, Edila Arnaud Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2154370107837866; COSTA, Maria José Oliveira e Silva Jackson; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4079845537461874
This work is the result of an ethnographic study in a small riverside community of the Amazon flooded area, emphasizing its particularities in relation to the use of natural resources. The subject of the analysis was a smallholder agricultural project, which was developed by implementing the results of scientific research on the participatory management of natural resources. Technicians from Mamirauá Institute and the peasants met periodically to evaluate the project’s processes and results. This study contributes to the understanding of the impacts of investments in agriculture, enabling an interaction between processes of reflection and action. The main objective of this dissertation is to assess a situation of social intervention directed at the sustained management of agricultural produce in a protected area of flooded forest (Sustainable Development Reserve). This study has indicators which contribute to the understanding of the impacts of investments in agriculture in a small community called São Francisco do Aiucá, enabling interaction between intention/implementation based on the understanding of the results and the evaluation of the social intervention. Using some indicators, built through the use of participatory methodologies, it was possible to analyze changes in the economic activities of São Francisco do Aiucá, and other forms of natural resources use, identifying ways to both diversify the crops and undertake new alternatives for the commercialization of the produce.

Práticas e técnicas agroextrativistas: um estudo de caso com famílias no pólo rio Capim do PROAMBIENTE
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-05-16) CASTRO, Dulcilene Alves de; MENEZES, Maria de Nazaré Angelo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2943083062747137
The sustaintable development program of rural familiar production in tre Amazon- PROAMBIENTE. It has in its purpose alternatives of the use of soils and forests to the familiar production. The Monte Sião comunity situated at São Domingos do Capim municipality participants from PROAMBIENTE was the chosen area to this study which treat of the social-cultural practices associated with production technicals of agroextractivist system of ten families who presented a historical of utilization from biophysic resouces: such as the latex extraction from native rubber trees, wooden timber exploration and intensive systems of agricultural production which from beginning 1990,s started to use the Nonwood forest products PFNM as a diferential element to the reproduction of familiar agriculture while unit of production and consume.

Tipologia do sistema de manejo de açaizais nativos praticado pelos ribeirinhos em Belém, estado do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2005-04-18) AZEVEDO, James Ribeiro de; KATO, Osvaldo Ryohei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4241891652832872
The Aςaizeiro (Euterpe Oleracea Mart.) is one of the main sources of income and consumption for people (local farmer families known as ribeirinhos) living in the municipal district of Belém, State of Pará. They manage the fruit of the aςaizal (aςaí palm trees) and, among the other products, the palm heart, commonly known as palmito. The objective of this study was to identify and classify the different agricultural practices used in the management of native aςaizais. The analysis include a study of the different types of management used by the ribeirinhos with the objective of contributing to the implementation of proposals of management of native aςaizais. The research was undertaken in two main islands in Belém, known as Ilha de Paquetá (Paqueta island) and Ilha Grande (Big Island). The study approach was based on the methodology of the diagnostics of agrarian systems, which involve interviews with both open and closed questions. Twenty-two families from Ilha Grande and thirty-one families from Ilha de Paquetá were interviewed, and the questions involved issues concerning the family, the living environment, patrimony, the agrarian situation, income, techniques used in the management of açaizal and commercialization. Research findings showed that the system of management of native açaizais has gone through three phases. In the first phase, the collection of the açaí fruit is basically for consumption. In the second phase, the palm heart started to be commercialized and the açaí fruit continues to be used for consumption. In the third phase, the actual system of management is oriented to the production of the açaí fruit for commercial and consumption purposes, with the palm heart contributing additional income. Findings from the survey showed that the three main techniques used in the management of açai crop are intensive, moderate and natural cropping (without handling). The intensive 6 handling requires intensive labor in the açaizais and the ribeirinhos income comes basically from the açaí fruit. This type of technique has shown to yield the best overall results. The moderate handling requires less labor in the açaizal and ribeirinhos complement their income from other sources. The natural cropping (without handling) just involves the harvest of the açaí fruit and the ribeirinhos income comes from activities away from the farm.
