Abstract

Understanding morphodynamic processes, from the perspective of traditional/local communities, is important in the implementation of actions regarding the use and management of the environment. The objective was to verify which forms of relief are perceived by the population and how these knowledge is used to identify and classify them. The research was developed in the municipality of Santo Antônio dos Milagres, state of Piauí, voluntarily participating 34 individuals. The  collected data were analyzed quali-quantitatively, with the aid of  geoprocessing techniques. Four ethno-environments were identified:  Baixão and Baixa, Morro or Costaneira and Chapada or Terra Plana. These units correspond, respectively, to the Lacustrine Plain, Lowered Plateaus and Tableland. It is understood that ethnogeomorphological cartography is an important vehicle of communication between popular and scientific knowledge.
