Tese (doutorado em Geografia) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2016.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/5755The appropriation of the cerrado, more than the country's coast, depended on the coordination between the actions of society and the state. This appropriation differed in space and time and depended largely on the development of knowledge about this space. In this research we sought to understand how the Cerrado has been transformed by society and by the State, and the role of knowledge in the use of space, especially for agriculture and cattle ranching activities. For this, we turn to literature review about each of the treated elements - society, state and knowledge. Although the emphasis is on the historical period of the modernization of agriculture in the cerrado, we also seek to identify the historical processes before the military governments, which, we believe, explain the reality that was built in the cerrado in recent decades. For the demonstration of the spatial transformations that agriculture and cattle ranching impressed in the cerrado, we resorted to mapping the historical series of changes in land use and land cover, obtained from 16 Landsat scenes distributed over the cerrado, mapped every two years between 1975 and 2010. We considered that we have advanced on the knowledge of how the appropriation of the Cerrado occurred, especially in the way they articulated the interests of the actors involved in territorial agro-industrial complex, which often depended on organized state action and the increase of knowledge facing the capitalist reproduction.application/pdfAcesso AbertoCerradoMudança na cobertura e uso da terraCiênciaPolíticas agrícolasModernização da agriculturaChanges in land use and land coverScienceAgricultural policiesModernization of agricultureHistorical mappingGEOGRAFIA::GEOGRAFIA HUMANATese
