Abstract
1. The present work aimed to analyze the socioeconomic dynamics and the organization in agroextractivist family units of the remaining community of quilombo Rio Gurupá, Municipality of Cachoeira do Arari, Marajó, state of Pará. It is a study carried out through quantitative research, Qualitative, with methodological tools being in-depth interviews and questionnaires with open and closed questions, applied to 39 community members, representing 26% of the community's residents. The results indicate that 79% of producers have low level of education (incomplete elementary education and illiteracy). The houses are mostly wood and there is a great lack of basic sanitation and access to treated water. From the reconfiguration of productive, cultural and environmental activities, alternatives are created for the development of family units. However, açaí's extractivism is still the main market activity developed by the community, while the others are aimed at self-consumption, during the off-season of the main product, or even to complement the family income. The reconstruction and valorization of the natural resources and cultural identity of the community in question are closely related to the recognition and incentive of the extractive activity, not only as a subsistence activity, but as an alternative that seeks to attribute economic value to the standing forest.
