Paleodunes of the são francisco river and sustainable territorial development

Discussing territory and sustainable development in paleo environmental territories requires an interdisciplinary perspective from the researcher. The development of the human being on the planet, evidenced by technological advances, has intensified over the last 200 years. During this period, man frantically sought to control nature. However, in current times societies need to reconcile economic development and sustainability, in order to conserve their natural heritage. This article aimed to discuss the relevance of territory for development, seeking to understand the relationship established between society and nature in the researched location with regard to ecosystem conservation and sustainable development. This is an applied, quali-quantitative, exploratory, bibliographic, and field research. The choice of the object of study, the research locus, and the target audience was made by intentionality and accessibility. The collection was carried out through the application of a questionnaire guided by guiding questions. The results indicate that the relationship between the researched society and nature has been complex and sustainable development in these territories has not been effective.
