                         analyzed in terms of the spatial variation in location factors at 
                         different spatial extents. The spatial extents considered are old 
                         and new agrarian colonization projects and the administrative 
                         units of two different municipalities in Rondonia: Vale do Anari 
                         and Machadinho d'Oeste. A grid database was constructed including 
                         land cover and potential location factors based on biophysical, 
                         accessibility, socioeconomic and policy data. Results of the 
                         spatial analyses confirmed the hypothesis that different extents 
                         yield different relationships between land use/cover patterns and 
                         their location factors, particularly between old and new agrarian 
                         colonization projects. It emphasizes that current patterns of 
                         forest, secondary forest and pasture/agricuiture can only be 
                         understood with a combination of policy, accessibility, 
                         biophysical and socioeconomic factors while accounting for the 
                         historical pathways of change. Because we are dealing with 
                         different trajectories of land use/cover change, static analysis 
                         of the spatial pattern without acknowledging these trajectories 
                         will lead to erroneous interpretations of the current and future 
                         land use/cover dynamics.",
