The occupation in this region, starting from the opening of the BR-010 hayway and based on deforestation and insertion of pastures for cattle rearing, did not provide this productivity gradient as in other parts of the country. A great example is Paragominas/Pará held at the time the logging as the main economic activity, the city experienced a paradigm shift in 2008, the result of a joint action between civil society, private capital and public institutions, managed to recycle and restructure its economy more sustainable activities. Despite progress, much can still be done for better productivity and proper use of natural resources in the territory. Thus, it is understood that the territory is the space where decisions and where politics materializes are taken, with direct influence on the management of natural resources. Therefore, it’s important to identify the elements of the landscape, including the geomorphology, which stands for determining other elements, such as vegetation, soil, fauna, etc.). Thus, considering the theoretical basis and the GIS as a support, it was mounted one geographic database with primary information, secondary and adapted secondary data. This base was inserted into a cell grid system for analysis. From this grid it was possible to distinguish twelve geofacies to Paragominas. From them, it assesses that in the municipality of Paragominas, in most cases, have forest areas with 10,788.74 square kilometers (55.78%) and when it comes to land use, pastures totaling 2789.11 square kilometers (14.47%). Regarding the rate stability, forests stand out with the highest percentage, about 70%, land uses the present intermediate values ​​(50%) and the Low and High “Capoeiras Baixa e Alta” have the lowest levels of stability (15%). As the dynamics of the evolution of land use in geofacies, livestock is the activity that most deforested the forest in Paragominas, with deforestation rates ranging from 5% to 15% of each geofacie. Agriculture in class, the dynamic occurs in the conversion of grasslands for planting beans, with values ​​strongly concentrated in the areas of Plateaus, with conversion rates ranging from 8% to 25%. As for forest regeneration processes, geofacies Depression, Plains and Valleys have higher rates of these geofacies between 5% and 20%. In contrast, classes more forest regeneration showed no patterns among geofacies. In an overview, the study showed that the insertion occurred dynamics of mechanized agriculture next to highways and livestock is still deforesting vector in the municipality. Already the Forest Plantation this consolidation process in the region and is not very representative area. With the database was possible to define the limits of geofacies and from them verify the dynamics of using existing land in Paragominas, reflecting the same land use dynamics (agricultural transition, deforestation, forest degradation, among others) that are occurring in the Amazon.Acesso AbertoGeomorfologiaSistemas de informação geográficaPaisagensSolo - UsoParagominas (PA)DissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::GEOGRAFIAGESTÃO AMBIENTALGESTÃO DOS RECURSOS NATURAIS E DESENVOLVIMENTO LOCAL
