The spatial mobility of family farmers was a key process in the formation of the current Amazonian society, despite the contradictory public policies promoting displacements in the name of a development that never took place as promised. In addressing the issue of spatial mobility of farmers, we consider the history of the Brazilian peasantry, which is the history of struggle for land. In areas of the so-called agrarian reform settlements, it appears that this dynamics, which occurred in the past decades from south to north, in the case of the Transamazonica, it changed, and spatial mobility tends to occur internally, between localities within the region. In the case of the Sustainable Development Project - PDS Anapu and Settlement Expansion Project - PA Itapuama, it was found that access to land has not represented the achievement of the desired relative autonomy, because the conditions offered by the State to the so-called beneficiaries of agrarian reform have not assured the conditions for proper ownership of the land, leading them to new displacements in an attempt to ensure its reproduction as peasants in other spaces. Still, in our research, we conclude that the process of spatial mobility is configured as a reproductive strategy of peasant family, albeit with serious threats to the consolidation of the process of territorialization.
