Abstract

Human populations in the Amazon are part of the ecosystems in which they live. The scale and intensity of human activities have a significant impact on these ecosystems, with local, national, and global effects. The objective of the study was to evaluate the management patterns of agroecosystems in 15 farms in the municipality of Cacoal, Rondônia, Brazil, in biophysical (environmental) and socioeconomic (family) terms, with the purpose of quantifying the impact of 30 years of deforestation. We were able to conclude that, in the farm area, the education level of the owners and the crops stablished were not determining factors for the size of the legal preserved area. Nevertheless, the management carried out by the land holders does have a direct influence on the forest area that exists in these farms.
