“…After inclusion of control variables, the impact of these land use/land cover classes on time out of poverty was nearly eliminated. As reported in numerous other studies of other Amazonian populations (Barbieri and Bilsborrow 2009; Murphy 2001; Reardon and Vosti 1995) the impact of having high levels of primary forest and annuals is to reduce time spent in poverty. This finding is consistent with the interpretation that poor households are likely utilizing the additional natural capital embodied in primary forest (i.e.…”

“…Among the poor in 1997/8, 72.5 percent had left poverty by 2005. This is a remarkable change in the distribution of well-being among smallholders, higher than in other Amazonian frontiers (Barbieri and Bilsborrow, 2009). …”

“…Agricultural produce that is consumed by the household is often excluded from analyses of income in rural areas, but as Barbieri and Bilsborrow (2009) suggest, production for self-consumption represents a significant alternative income source for a considerable portion of rural households, some of which depend almost exclusively on such non-monetary income. Excluding self-consumption when computing incomes therefore leads to dramatic underestimates.…”

“…A link between poverty and low levels of natural capital among smallholders is well-established in both cross-sectional and qualitative longitudinal studies and in multiple contexts (Guedes et al 2012; Jagger, Shively and Arinaitwe 2012; Murphy 2001; Barbieri and Bilsborrow 2009; Swinton, Escobar, and Reardon 2003; Young 1998). However, a tension exists in the literature between two dominant views on the relationship between poverty and the environment in the Amazon and elsewhere.…”

Rural settlement in previously sparsely occupied areas of the Brazilian Amazon has been associated with high levels of forest loss and unclear long-term social outcomes. We focus here on the micro-level processes in one settlement area to answer the question of how settler and farm endowments affect household poverty. We analyze the extent to which poverty is sensitive to changes in natural capital, land use strategies, and biophysical characteristics of properties (particularly soil quality). Cumulative time spent in poverty is simulated using Markovian processes, which show that accessibility to markets and land use system are especially important for decreasing poverty among households in our sample. Wealthier households are selected into commercial production of perennials before our initial observation, and are therefore in poverty a lower proportion of the time. Land in pasture, in contrast, has an independent effect on reducing the proportion of time spent in poverty. Taken together, these results show that investments in roads and the institutional structures needed to make commercial agriculture or ranching viable in existing and new settlement areas can improve human well-being in frontiers.

“…Predominava, então, a migração de homens em idade de trabalhar, solteiros ou casados, com posterior deslocamento de suas famílias (Hogan et al, 2008;Barbieri;Bilsborrow, 2009). Em um segundo momento, destacam-se os deslocamentos internos da fronteira.…”

Resumo: Processos demográficos na Amazônia permanecem explicados a partir da dinâmica da fronteira agrícola, um referencial aplicado à conjuntura da década de 1970. Buscando verificar sua capacidade de refletir a contemporaneidade da região, o trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre a mobilidade populacional em Santarém, um caso pertinente pela complexidade da configuração rural e recente inserção do agronegócio. Dados dos Censos Demográficos do IBGE e entrevistas em 311 propriedades rurais familiares foram usados para múltiplas análises migratórias. O resultado destacou a relevância da circulação interna na dinâmica do município, além de revelar que o meio rural é mais estável e menos impactado pela migração do que o urbano. Ao contrário do que a reflexão sobre fronteira usualmente preconiza, o êxodo rural teve baixo impacto no volume populacional e suas análises apontaram para novas tendências na composição de quem os realiza. A verificação de categorias de mobilidade latentes na bibliografia reforçou que a fronteira é plural e que seu referencial teórico é capaz de explicar somente parte das transformações rurais. A reconfiguração do meio rural só será amplamente compreendida quando contemplada a mobilidade intra-rural e a imigração rural, que tem na sua essência as relações de família, a identidade com rural e a dissolução da dicotomia rural-urbana. Palavras-chave: Migração rural. Mobilidade intramunicipal. Reconfiguração do rural. Urbanização.Abstract: Demographic processes in the Amazon are still explained by the dynamics of the agricultural frontier, which is a theoretical approach developed in the 1970s. This study considers population mobility in Santarém (PA) in order to assess the ability of the frontier model to represent the actual situation of the region. Santarém is a relevant case given the complexity of its rural aspect and the recent ascendency of agribusiness. The data are from the IBGE Demographic Census and from surveys conducted on 311 rural properties. The results highlight the importance of internal mobility in the municipality and reveal that the countryside is more stable and less affected by migration than the urban region. The small impact of rural exodus on the size of the rural population go against the classical assumptions concerning frontier regions. The attestation of certain types of mobility that are usually absent in the bibliographical sources reinforces that the frontier is diverse and its theoretical framework can explain rural transformations only partially. The concept of rural environment can only be satisfactorily redefined if intra-rural mobility and rural in-migration are added to the framework. Family relationships, the identification with the countryside and the dissolution of the rural-urban dichotomy lie at the foundation of these dynamics.
