This dissertation is a study on the sustainable development measures and
policies for small non-agricultural rural populations, from the 80s and 90s. With the
policies reaching the countryside, the state is more present in the smaller regions resizing
the countryside and its local dynamics. In this sense, emerges a new rural with the
policy actions that reach the most distant population exposing their way of life to new
situations. This study aimed to analyze changes in social and economic organization of
the inhabitants of rural population of Vila Alencar in the Mamirauá Reserve for
Sustainable Development (MRDS), Amazonas State, due to the foundation of a
Sustainable Development Reserve (SDR) and institutionalized actions by state policies.
The theoretical analysis was based on the theories of habitus and socio-environmental
field Reserve Mamirauá. There were also analysis among families from the time of
marital union, in order to identify the changes between two generations. It was
discovered in this study that the family organization in Vila Alencar is developed taking
into account local practices and also participate in the interventionist actions through
social policies through the Family Grant Program, the rural pension and activities around
the sustainable management of resources natural, these are mainly associated with the
ecotourism management, such as the provision like tour guide, kitchen helpers, maid and
carpentry for the ecotourism lodge of MRDS. The combination of agricultural,
nonagricultural and supplementary income from social benefits have an important role in
the composition of household income, which brings new perspectives to social
reproduction. The study concludes that sustainable development policies and the policies
of social benefits become pro-family organization on rural areas modernizing the
characteristics of features and attractive urban comfort, particularly the expectation of
buying a house in town and better conditions for qualification for the children to thrive
in any profession. To young people are delegated other responsibilities that do not go
within the productive context of family labor.
