                         changes in the municipality of Rondon do Par{\'a}, in the 
                         Brazilian Legal Amazon, through the Geographic Object-based Image 
                         Analysis (GEOBIA), aiming to identify whether its inclusion in the 
                         list of priority municipalities for actions to prevent, monitor 
                         and control deforestation in the Amazon (Decree 6.321/2007), has 
                         inhibited this process. The methodological procedure involved the 
                         calculation of vegetation indices to highlight interest classes, 
                         the segmentation of the images into geo-objects and the 
                         classification using Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. Also, 
                         we evaluated the relationship between annual rates of particulate 
                         material with a diameter of fewer than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5) 
                         emitted from fires and deforestation in Rondon do Par{\'a}. The 
                         results show the reduction of deforestation rates but the 
                         conversion, in absolute values, of 984,47 km² of natural 
                         vegetation to anthropized areas along the 2006-2017 period, and 
                         the reduction of the average PM2.5 fire emissions from 31,107 tons 
                         year-1 between 2002 and 2007 to 10,394 ton year-1 in the 
                         post-inclusion period (2008-2019). This represents that the 
                         inclusion of Rondon do Par{\'a} in this list was beneficial, but 
                         the suppression of natural vegetation was not totally curbed, 
                         reinforcing that changes from environmental policies are gradual. 
                         Activities that do not use fire to suppress natural vegetation, 
                         such as selective logging, common in Rondon do Par{\'a}, had 
                         impact. This makes it necessary to intensify inspections and the 
                         development of sustainable actions in the region.",
