The present work deals with the relationships between migration, social systems and the use of natural resources in the community of São Luís do Caripi, Municipio of Igarapé-Açú, State of Pará. The goal is to identify how the migration, seen as an intervening variable, affects the patterns of use and access to natural resources and social system community of the São Luís do Caripi. It starts from the assumption that migration is a factor of extreme importance in both the use of natural resources and the role of social systems. It was found that migration can result in new patterns of access and use of natural resources, and may put pressure on these resources, affecting the ecological footprint of a given area, understood as the human impact on the environment. It is understood also that the migration factor can function as an organizer or disarticulating the social system.
