For primary data collection, questionnaires were filled with the population of these localities. Maps of natural resource use were constructed for each community studied, from the multiple uses of resources by communities. As a main conclusion the study indicates that a major challenge is that the policies of forest concession consider the areas of the communities as spaces for reproduction of the community social systems as well as collective use of natural resources. Otherwise, may suffer a strong anthropogenic pressure due to the attractive possibilities of use of natural resources for commercial and industrial purposes.porAcesso AbertoPolítica florestalConcessão administrativaTerritórioRibeirinhosComunidade (Sociologia)Rio Arapiuns - PARio Mamuru - PAItaituba - PAPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraArtigo de Periódico
