Strategy For A Sampling Of The Population And The Land Structure In Studies On The Use, Covering And Domestic Units Of The Land [estratégia Para Amostragem Da População E Da Paisagem Em Pesquisas Sobre Uso E Cobertura Da Terra]

This article describes the strategy used in a study carried out in Santarém, State of Pará, Brazil, in 2003, to sample plots represented on maps produced by the Brazilian Government's Land Reform Department (INCRA). The purpose of this sampling strategy is to describe demographic and environmental changes on the scale of the rural landholdings and on a regional scale. The sample was chosen according to the distribution of plots of land along four different roads that underwent different processes of occupation. Twenty cells of 9km2 each were chosen at random along each road and, in each direction, plots were chosen to be visited. In the field work, persons at all the domestic units existing in each of the plots selected were interviewed. Sampling carried out by successive segmentation of the area of study is described, as well as the way in which the resulting data can be used differently on the scales of domestic units, plots of land, and regions, according to the questions and variables of interest.242263275BATISTELLA, M., MORAN, E.F., Dimensões humanas do uso e cobertura das terras na Amazônia: Uma contribuição do LBA.

Collecting Sketch Maps To Understand Property Land Use And Land Cover In Large Surveys

This article describes a method to collect data on the spatial organization of land use within a rural property as part of a large-scale project examining the linkages between household demographic change and land use and land cover change in the Brazilian Amazon. Previous studies used several different spatial approaches, including maps and satellite images, to improve the information collected in standard survey questionnaires. However, few used sketch maps to obtain information from the point of view of the survey respondent about the spatial organization of land use and infrastructure. We developed a method of creating sketch maps with respondents to describe their properties. These maps then provided a spatially referenced database of the social and land use organization of the properties from the perspective of the respondent. Systematic rules allowed sketches to be used in subsequent spatial analyses in combination with satellite images and Global Positioning System reference points. © 2008 Sage Publications.2016684Bilsborrow, R.E., Barbieri, A.F., Pan, W., Changes in population and land use over time in the Ecuadorian Amazon (2004) Acta Amazonica, 34 (4), pp. 635-647Brondizio, E.S., Intraregional analysis of land-use change in the Amazon (2005) Seeing the Forest and the Trees: Human-environment Interactions in Forest Ecosystems, pp. 223-252. , In edited by E.
