As contribuições das populações ribeirinhas para o desenvolvimento regional no município de Santana - AP: uma revisão bibliográfica.

Abstract

This study analyzed the contributions of riverside populations to regional development in the municipality of Santana, Amapá, through a qualitative and descriptive-exploratory literature review. Scientific publications produced between 2010 and 2025, as well as institutional documents addressing Amazonian socio-territorial dynamics, were used. The results show that riverside communities play a fundamental role in the economy and territorial organization of Santana, especially through family farming, artisanal fishing, extractivism, and agroforestry systems, activities that strengthen food security and supply urban markets. A strong rural-urban relationship was also observed, marked by the circulation of people, goods, and knowledge. However, significant challenges remain regarding sanitation, river mobility, access to public services, and socio-environmental vulnerability. It is concluded that these communities contribute not only economically, but also to the sociocultural, environmental, and identity dimensions of regional development, highlighting the need for territorialized public policies that strengthen their productive chains and expand access to basic services.
