abstract = "Urbanization has altered the distribution of diseases of public
health importance along gradients of human occupation. Adopting
dichotomous urban/rural categories to explain differences in the
risk of exposure, as well as the prevention of diseases is
insufficient. In this paper, we present the potential of
representations based on the gradient perspective to characterize
the living spaces of municipalities where malaria is endemic in
northwest Acre. Inventoried data in 40 localities in the
M{\^a}ncio Lima and Rodrigues Alves municipalities and
information on land use and land cover obtained from the
TerraClass Database were used to characterize the urban spatial
forms and their social content. Results showed a gradient of
intensities: from municipal seats to the most connected localities
through the road network to riverine communities. Based on the
results, we hope to advance the discussion about the use of
normative definitions of urban and rural for public policies and
actions to control and eliminate malaria, considering the position
of each locality in its own locally referenced urban gradient.",
