| Sumario: | This study assessed how residents of an environmentally-sound land reform settlement in Anapu, Pará, perceive and use forests and permanent preservation areas (PPAs). Quantitative methods (comparative areas from mapping) and qualitative (semi-structured interviews) evaluated the effect of tenurial situation, access to the plot and predominant economic activity in the conservation of PPAs and forests. Considering only the preservation of PPAs, the quantitative analysis showed no significant difference between groups compared. In relation to forests, greater preservation was associated with the activity carried out in the lot: prioritization of agriculture was associated with higher percentage of forests than prioritization of livestock, although no statistical relevance was observed for this association. The qualitative analysis indicated that land tenure regularity is not perceived as a factor for greater conservation of PPAs. Main differences in the use of PPA were also perceived regarding the economic activity prioritized in the lot.Keywords: environmental conservation; Amazon deforestation; agriculture; cattleranching.SOUSA, Laís Victoria Ferreira de; PORRO, Roberto.
