Summary: This paper is about studies on the relationships between environment and population from an integrated perspective, and changes in the use of the land cover, focusing on the contributions and challenges for demography. Demography approached this issue in the mid-1990s and its main contribution was to highlight the importance of population components in the models, which, until then, had been presented mainly from a simple perspective and as secondary components. Although Brazilian demographers dedicated to environmental issues were studying primarily urban themes, they collaborated indirectly to the field by proposing new ways of thinking about relations between population and environment. This paper is based on the Brazilian Amazon Region and shows how the population has been considered in theories about changes in the uses and cover of the land. Growth related to the expansion of the agricultural frontiers has also been treated, as well as the model of the household life cycle (fertility and household composition) in the 1990s and, more recently, a focus on the migration component. For demography, the article argues how essential it is to broaden studies on demographic elements, rather than their volume and space, and its effects. For the construction of Land Change Science, the author insists on the importance of urban dynamics in research, the adoption of a methodology and the exercise of dialogue among the various fields of study, incorporating the contribution of demography more systematically.

Aproximándose al tema hacia mediados de los años 1990, el principal aporte de la Demografía fue el de destacar la importancia de los componentes poblacionales en los modelos, antes colocados como secundarios y desde una perspectiva simple. Demógrafos brasileños dedicados a temas ambientales, aunque su propósito prioritario fuese la temática urbana, colaboraron de manera indirecta para la desenvoltura del campo, al proponer una relectura sobre relaciones población-ambiente. El artículo parte del caso de la Amazonía brasileña, mostrando cómo la población fue explorada en las teorías sobre cambios en los usos y coberturas de la tierra, pasando por el abordaje del crecimiento poblacional durante el periodo de frontera agrícola, el modelo de ciclo de vida del domicilio (fecundidad y composición del domicilio) en la década de 1990 y, más recientemente, el enfoque en el componente migratorio. Para la Demografía se señala como esencial la profundización en los elementos demográficos que abarcan más que el volumen y la inclusión del espacio y sus efectos. Para la construcción de la Ciencia del Cambio de la Tierra se destacan la incorporación de dinámicas urbanas en las investigaciones, la adopción de una metodología de múltiples escalas y el ejercicio del diálogo entre las diversas disciplinas, incorporando más sistemáticamente el aporte de la Demografía.Pensando de forma integrada a relação população-ambiente, o artigo aborda os estudos sobre dinâmica populacional e mudança no uso e cobertura da terra, com foco na contribuição e nos desafios da Demografia.

Demógrafos brasileiros dedicados a questões ambientais, embora tivessem prioritariamente a temática urbana no seu escopo, colaboraram de maneira indireta para a desenvoltura do campo, ao proporem uma releitura sobre relações população-ambiente. O artigo parte do caso da Amazônia brasileira, mostrando como a população foi explorada nas teorias sobre mudanças nos usos e coberturas da terra, passando pelo viés do crescimento populacional durante o período de fronteira agrícola, o modelo de ciclo de vida do domicílio (fecundidade e composição do domicílio) na década de 1990 e, mais recentemente, o enfoque no componente migratório. Para a Demografia, aponta-se como essencial o aprofundamento nos elementos demográficos que não o volume e a inclusão do espaço e seus efeitos. Para a construção da Ciência da Mudança da Terra, destacam-se a incorporação de dinâmicas urbanas nas investigações, a adoção de uma metodologia multiescalar e o exercício do diálogo entre as diversas disciplinas, incorporando mais sistematicamente a contribuição da Demografia.ABEP2014-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos originais avaliados por paresapplication/pdfhttps://rebep.org.br/revista/article/view/649Brazilian Journal of Population Studies; Vol. 31 No. 1 (2014); 191-210Revista Brasileira de Estudos de População; Vol. 31 Núm. 1 (2014); 191-210Revista Brasileira de Estudos de População; v. 31 n. 1 (2014); 191-2101980-55190102-3098reponame:Revista brasileira de estudos de população (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Estudos Populacionais (ABEP)instacron:ABEPporhttps://rebep.org.br/revista/article/view/649/pdf_616Côrtes, Julia CorrêaD’Antona, Álvaro de Oliveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2015-07-29T21:59:54Zoai:ojs.rebep.org.br:article/649Revistahttps://rebep.org.br/revistaONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||editora@rebep.org.br1980-55190102-3098opendoar:2015-07-29T21:59:54Revista brasileira de estudos de população (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Estudos Populacionais (ABEP)false
