The study of the Transamazonian territory of Altamira (Parб-Brazil) - Nathalie Paralieu

1. PROBLEMATICS
 
For five hundred years, Brazil has witnessed a migration from the coasts to the inner frontier zones. Amazonia is the last territory to be conquered and is marked by a system of public policies of integration and individual strategies of making profits. Most land pieces of this territory therefore belong to a minority of actors, whereas the former landowners or farmers have to settle in towns or join new clearing zones for cultivation. As previously established by scientists, this process of appropriation leads to the replication of the frontier areas.

The aim of this thesis was to find out and analyze elements, which we thought, would be able to put an end to the damage done to ecological resources, as it affects the quality of life and the well-being of the populations.

In this acceptation, studying the marketing networks and the local actors’ plans enables us to know more about the structural, dynamic development process of the frontier areas, in understanding how they evolved into a territory as a whole. The marketing networks and systems characterize and structure the territories. Indeed, the economic activities of the products registering zones, undoubtedly improves the development of the territory. As regards this perspective, all the actors’ plans should take these networks into account to improve the situation and standard of living of the local societies.
