This paper analyzes the land use and land cover changes in the region of Silves municipality, State of Amazonas, between 1970 and 2010. Historically, this area corresponds to one of the oldest colonization set on the edge of the Amazon River. However, the recent tendency to opening and constructing roads has significantly changed the way of life in the region. The methodological approach includes the classification using a time series of Landsat images in order to identify change along rivers and roads, which cross the area of study. The results show the new spatial configuration experienced by the local population, pointing out the change of the main deforestation areas from the rivers’ edge to roads.
