The main objective of this article is to discuss the process of expansion of the capitalist agricultural frontier, based on the numerous conflicts over land in the Brazilian Amazon region, especially the State of Pará. It must be understood that capitalist agriculture develops according to the advancement of the agricultural goods market, in addition as the urban population grows, the demand for food for general consumption and raw materials for agribusiness also increases considerably, therefore, ownership of land means that certain individuals have the monopoly that gives them the right to dispose of certain parts of the country's land as something absolutely private that no one can use without their consent and authorization. This is because the land, as the main means of production in agriculture, is not a product of human labor, that is, theoretically it has no exchange value in terms of socially necessary labor time, therefore, capitalist agriculture aims maximization of the rate of profit and hence the increased accumulation of capital. In this way, this pattern of capitalist development based on the expansion of the capitalist agricultural frontier in the region continues to this day.

Fundamentos para a gestão das inundações periódicas nas planícies de Belém (Pará- Brasil) com vistas ao seu desenvolvimento local
(Servicios Académicos Intercontinentales S.L., 2018-03) SOARES, André Araújo Sombra; CARVALHO, André Cutrim; SOARES, Daniel Araújo Sombra; BASTOS, Rodolpho Zahluth
The objective of this article is to establish the basis for the management of the periodic floods that occur on the plains of the municipality of Belém, located in the state of Pará, in the Northern Region of Brazil. It presents as a case study the dynamics of socioenvironmental problems and impacts associated with flooding in the lowland areas of Belém and seeks to contextualize the occurrence of these problems in an interdisciplinary perspective, relating to the biophysical characteristics of the city with the local urban dynamics and anthropic action as intensifying agents problems. For this purpose, data were collected regarding the altimetric dimensions of the city land in order to delimit the plains areas, and later data referring to the uses and occupation of the areas. A mapping of the overlapping of these data was then produced, with a view to correlating the interaction between natural and anthropic elements in the dynamics of socio-environmental problems, as well as identifying the situation of areas with the highest socio-environmental vulnerabilities. The results of this article point to the need to apply environmental planning, as well as the strengthening of public institutions, as a fundamental subsidy for the search for a more sustainable culture for the plains of Belém, considering that they have natural tendencies the impact of risks and disasters, due to the extension of low altimetric quotas in their respective domains, and because of the anthropic conditions that refer to the misuse and conservation of these areas by the public power and local society, has the consequence of intensifying problems and socioenvironmental impacts associated with occurrences of periodic floods. In this sense, public policies and actions of local society are necessary to minimize the harmful effects in the short term and solve the problem, with the achievement of environmental awareness as a subsidy to local development by society in the long term.
