The inquiry into the theme was performed by means of a qualitative approach: interviews with agents directly involved in the study case, in a total of nine interviews. Thus, the research has proposed the analysis of the process of change in the region which, once symbol of deforestation, is currently considered a model of sustainable development to other cities in the Amazon.
