ABSTRACT
Aware of extensive studies that have been developed to environment field, we find out that the data are dispersed among institutions, where frequently, one has not knowledge of the data and information that another one have. These data and information are not organized and systemized, in order to be used in an optimized form. This way, this research has been developed to present a proposal model for developing environmental statistics as a tool for decis ion-making of the regional development. The proposal model was based on the relation vegetal cover/agro-cattle raising in Rondonia State, and it has the situational analysis, environment evaluation and strategic planning, as the main methodological line. It has not been restricted to data organization and information about natural resources and the resultant activities pressure, where the variables have been selected to figure out a state environment statistics system; it creates too, instruments that subsidized the policies of use and conservation of these resources in the "Rondoniense" territorial space.
Key words:
Brazil; Rondonia state; environment statistics; strategic planning.
