SUMMARY:

The Amazon has been experiencing intense processes of land use and occupation over the last 60 years (1960 to 2020), associated with ongoing territorial policies until 2024. These policies include infrastructure programs, colonization projects, agriculture and agro-minerals, as well as hydroelectric plants and waterways, among others. Considering this process, the legal Amazon was established as a spatial part of the research and the years from 1960 to 2020 as a temporal part. The thesis defended is that the mobility of the border in the Amazon, understood as the dynamics of capitalist relations in space, has continuous temporalities and spatialities, highlighting three macro-dimensions of the use of the territory: settlement and agriculture, settlement consolidation and, finally, the agro-mineral-energy infrastructure (infrastructure, agriculture, minerals and energy), these being three bundles, of expansion, displacement and mobility resulting from deforestation in the Legal Amazon. The general objective is to analyze the mobility of the border and its temporal-spatial nature in the legal Amazon, in order to understand how territorial macro policies materialize in the deforestation of the Amazon. To understand the mobility of the border and its time-spatiality in the legal Amazon, the theoretical and analytical foundation is based on the category of territory analysis and its multidimensionality, territorial policies and advancement/displacement of the border. The methodology was composed of three operational phases: 1) understanding and discussion of the theory and concepts carried out within the scope of the research work; 2) data surveys and documentary research, used to understand the movement of the border, its spatialities and uses of the territory in the Amazon and 3) systematization and analysis of data in the light of geographic theory, cartographically demonstrating the temporal-spatial nature of the border and its repercussion in the advancement of deforestation in the legal Amazon. The displacement of the border in the Amazon reveals an intense territorial transformation, reflecting the consequences of the policies that shape land use in the region materialized in a large extent of deforestation verified cartographically between the years 1986 to 2020, for agricultural, urban, mineral and other uses. others. In 2020, this demographic and economic occupation expanded beyond the so-called “arc of deforestation” or “arc of settlement”, affecting Conservation Units and Indigenous Territories.
