ANALYSIS SYSTEMIC TEMPORAL OF TWO COMMUNITIES IN RURAL SETTLEMENT IN THE STATE OF PARÁ, BRAZILIAN AMAZONIA

Abstract

The aim this study was to analyse the potential use of forest resources timber and non-timber and the family farming production of rural communities São Mateus and Santo Antônio of the years 2008 and 2018. We evaluated the socioeconomic and environmental aspects through the forest inventories and based on semi-structured interviews and field surveys. In the forest inventory of the of the two rural communities were found 322 species, distributed in 92 botanical families, being the Fabaceae Family the most representative with 125 species. In spite of the results revealed a stock of species with potential timber and not timber and socioeconomic improvements, the majority of family farmers (97%) showed high level of dissatisfaction in relation to the lack of public technical assistance in order to plan their productions through the association of diversified agroforestry systems. This study creates a participatory model able to contribute to the public policies aimed at subsidizing the potential use of the forest resources in rural settlements in the Amazon, as well as to promote the formation of programs to incentive sustainable development, considering the current market and adding value to products.
