The evolution and dynamics of territorial occupation have greatly influenced the fragmentation or suppression of native forest throughout history, since areas occupied mainly by agriculture and livestock, especially extensive crops, have increased the pressure on the native forest. The thematic of this study is inserted in the analysis of the expansion of the agricultural frontier in the State of Pará, through spatial analysis tools considering the biophysical, economic and infrastructure characteristics as well as the natural or not, that condition the advance of agricultural activities. In this context, the present work aims to analyze the expansion of the agricultural frontier in the State of Pará considering spatial factors in order to perceive its dynamics, and to evaluate the potential of its displacement in special areas. Studies of potentialities in special areas such as rural settlements and areas close to conservation units are important for decision making in public policies, since they can implement instruments, either in promoting the benefits inherent in agricultural activities or in reducing their possible impacts.PPGCA - Estudos de ecossistemas amazônicos
