Acesso em:.2318-1346https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/12542The present study deals with social development indices in the Marajoara Amazon region, through some social indicators: IDHM, IDEB, IBEU-Municipal and IDSUS. The research was carried out through a qualitative approach based on an ethnography that analyzes the socioeconomic situation of the municipalities and the paraense population, mainly of the Marajó Meso-region. The research instruments used were participant observation, informal conversations, bibliographical analyzes, documentaries and reports that show the situation of the Amazonians. The research participants were 13 (thirteen) people: 70-88 year olds (4), junior high school students (3), high school students (3), ages 12-17 and children between 7 and 11 years old (3). The conclusions reached by the study show that the situation of Pará in the map of the policies of assistance to the population in relation to social rights, established by the Federal Constitution of 1988, is still a reality of little governmental interest (federal, state and municipal) ), mainly affecting children and the elderly. The lack of coping policies that diminish the abandonment to which the Paraenses are subjected, especially those in rural areas, shows the true gulf between what the State proposes and what is actually available to them. Public policies are still far from meeting the real needs of the peripheral populations of Brazil, the Amazon and Pará.Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/ParáAmazônia marajoaraDesenvolvimento socioeconômicoIndicadores sociaisArtigo de Periódicohttp://dx.doi.org/10.18542/nra.v7i1.6981
