Abstract

This study focuses on understanding the ethnogeomorphological classifications proposed by rural family farmers, focusing on the similarities and differences of traditional/local knowledge about the terrestrial model. The ethnogeomorphological features identified were: low, coastal foot/slope foot, coastal/slope/cerrado region/hill or mount, and plateau, the recognition of which was based on topographic, pedological, and hydroclimatic aspects and vegetation. From this, it was inferred that agricultural practice associated with the main activities of land use and occupation enabled the recognition of local geomorphological features, as well as the variables that led rural family farmers to distinguish them, directly reflecting on the way how they use the land.
