International audienceHighlights- Low overall relations between population density and deforestation.- One third of Amazon deforestation is associated with only 1.5% of the population.- In contrast, 13% of the rural population live in preserved forests.- ‘Discrete urbanization’ of rural areas: multiplication of small towns.AbstractThis paper provides the first analysis at the sub-municipality scale of the relationships between population densities and deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon between 2000 and 2010. We use the database on deforestation published by the Brazilian space research center (INPE) and the population census data released by the federal geographical and statistical agency IBGE at their finest scale: the census tract leve...
