Abstract

The article deals with the construction of public action as the product of multiple forms of interaction between collective action and government action, in which processes represents organization systems of farmers for the use and appropriation of natural resources. We used qualitative methods, participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The analysis of organizational processes as the creation of associations to improve governance system in general and fisheries agreements for the sustainable management of fishery resources, in particular, shows how the peasants structure their modes of reproduction through public action, to reduce environmental impacts and expropriation processes. As the main impact in the last decades has been Tucuruí hydroelectric power plant construction fish agreement has become a way to cope with intensification of fishing and consequent impact of the hydroelectric plant. The successes of the two agreements studied here was a result of the genuine process initiated in the communities. Other experiences of similar agreements organized by governmental institution has not resulted in successful experiences.
