To understand the relationship between deforestation in the north of Mato Grosso and settlements, the objective of this paper was to present a literature systematic review on rural settlements and its possible relationship with the dynamics of deforestation in Amazonia, punctually seeking to answer these questions: 1). Which authors have most influenced the studies in the area (until the present day)? 2) Which journals have highlighted the subject ? and 3) What is the current state of the art on the subject.. For this, the SCOPUS database was chosen for consultation, through the combination of different key words related to the subject. The results pointed out that the authors who focus on the theme are between Europe, USA and Brazil and that the subject is proliferated through four main journals that prioritize interdisciplinarity and therefore integrate economics, ecology, forest management, besides studying sustainable policies in socio-economic systems. The review points to three distinct phases of the land use and occupation process in the region. However, these phases can not be placed in a linear and decontextualized sequence of the market dynamics, political actions and national and international environmental organizations pressures.
