Was identified and characterized land use, relief altimetry, hydrography, and the conditions of the road infrastructure. Although there are possibilities for beneficial changes, nowadays, the productive activities practiced in the settlements result from traditional models implemented in the Brazilian Amazon, unsustainable and ineffective to provide improvements in existing infrastructure and quality of life in the settlements.
