Guidelines to Assess the Direct and Indirect Area of Influence of Transportation Infrastructure Projects
The guide details a market access methodology that shifts from simple geographical distance buffers to a model incorporating transportation costs, market size, and land conversion data. By converting infrastructure networks into graphs, the approach can simulate how new roads or bridges change market connectivity and subsequently drive deforestation. The document includes a practical example in Amapá, Brazil, demonstrating how a fictional road could lead to an estimated 368 km2 of deforestation and 17 million tons of CO2 emissions.

Diretrizes para Avaliação da Área de Influência Direta e Indireta de Projetos de Infraestrutura de Transporte
The guide details a methodology that moves beyond simple geographic distance to assess the 'area of influence' of infrastructure by analyzing how projects change market access. It combines transport costs, market size, and deforestation data into a statistical model to estimate ex-ante environmental risks.
