Abstract
A possible path in the building of interdisciplinary knowledge is the integration of already constituted disciplinary approaches. This project seeks to conjugate approaches of ecology and social sciences using as link the landscape in the study of the relationship between social processes and patterns of biological diversity in the municipality of São Luiz do Paraitinga, SP, basing itself on the hypothesis that the landscape is one of the principal mediators between human action and diversity. Standardized inventories will be drawn up of biological diversity (richness and abundance of species) and survey of the history of occupation and of social organization in four landscapes (mosaic of units): four rural neighborhoods. Biological and social data will be georeferenced, to infer their correlation with the configuration of the landscape. It is intended, in this way, to construct explanatory models of biodiversity as a function of the modification of the landscape by human societies. (AU)
