“…In these areas, geodiversity and natural resources are the main survival sources due to their potential to create employment opportunities and increase income (Veras et al 2021a). The preservation of these recourses, and more importantly their regeneration, are crucial to move forward on a sustainable path to the GRL (Veras et al, 2020a;Wahl, 2016).…”

“…As a legacy of past generations, but also a legacy for the coming years, the geotourism activity can contribute not only to the sustainability of Amazon but also to the identification and enhancement of persistent environmental issues, thus promoting policies to safeguard the humanity's common goods (Hall & Saarinen, 2010;Vieira, 2014). Furthermore, it is an activity that brings socioeconomic benefits through the sustainable use of geological structures and unique landscapes (Mikhailenko & Ruban, 2019;Veras et al, 2020a;Wu, 2013). It allows to register processes, aesthetics, natural beauty and local culture for sustainable planning, anchored in the opportunities and limitations of best practices (Maghsoudi et al, 2019;Shekhar et al, 2019;Tourtellot, 2016).…”

flow, the occupation of land and logging. In this context, the arrival of migrants and, consequently, the pressing need to settle newly arrived people in search of land, favoured the damming of watercourses, the reduction of wild fauna and deforestation as a result of the construction of the road and neighbouring areas. However, and currently, BR-174 translates into a strategy of progress and communication, uniting adjacent communities, on the one hand, and, on the other, allowing the use of biophysical resources in favour of the development of geotourism. Considering this reality and from the perspective of the social and environmental transformations that have occurred, the objective of this paper is to analyse the potential of the BR-174 for the development of Abstract BR-174 in Brazil, also known as Manaus-Boa Vista, is a longitudinal highway that connects the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso, Rondônia, Amazonas and Roraima to Venezuela, being the only terrestrial connection between Roraima and the rest of Brazil. Its construction took place in 1968 and its inauguration in 1977, aiming to promote the interconnection of the State of Roraima, as a geopolitical strategy, with the rest of the country and, later, with South America. The construction of the BR-174 crossed the Waimiri Atroaris indigenous land, resulting in serious socio-environmental conflicts in the 1970s. Furthermore, recent research indicates that the deforestation process in the Amazon is associated with the opening of roads, as it favours the migratory

In the context of hydric resources distribution, Brazil holds the highest hydric availability on the planet, being responsible for almost all the total average change of water bed stream in South America. Brazil has an unequal distribution of its resources, specifically considering the Amazon basin, located in a region with low population density. Therefore, to study the lotic ecosystem is relevant, particularly in the Amazon region, to provide knowledge on lakes comprehension, i.e., naturally formed depression that stores freshwater, and hydrological conditions that play a key role in interactions with terrestrial processes, essential to sustain life through the quality of water in many igarapés (streams), i.e., small rivers. This ecosystem is part of the Earth's bloodstream, vital to individuals survival, as well as for nature balance, food and raw material provision, playing a crucial role in remote communities, namely those located in the Amazon Basin.Water is the second most important component of the Earth, in addition to air, used as irrigation for crops, cooling equipment, industrial chemical processes, city growth, hygiene, as geopolitical divider and means of connectivity, navigation, leisure and recreation (
