                         Amazon area, especially in the State of Mato Grosso where crop 
                         expansion has been considered as a main driver of deforestation 
                         for more than 30 years. Geographical concepts of the agricultural 
                         frontier assume that its progress is carried out through five 
                         stages (pre-settlement, occupation, consolidation, intensification 
                         and intensive stages), corresponding to the evolution of three 
                         frontiers (deforestation, economic and intensification frontiers). 
                         This paper aims at proposing a remote sensing-based methodology to 
                         map the spatio-temporal evolution of these frontiers and the 
                         evolution stages of the agricultural frontier in Mato Grosso. The 
                         method is based on the definition of an agrarian locality scale 
                         and on land-use based indices. The quality of the method is then 
                         dependent on the accuracy of the input data used. Here 
                         deforestation (provided by INPE and SEMA-MT) and classification 
                         maps (computed on MODIS EVI time series) are used. The results 
                         allow to visualize the evolution of three important phenomena in 
                         Mato Grosso during the 2000-2006 period: increase in 
                         deforestation, crop expansion and agricultural intensification. 
                         Final maps highlight the fact that few areas have reached the 
                         final intensive stage of the agricultural frontier, reminding that 
                         Mato Grosso is still experiencing a very active colonization 
                         process.",
