In order to minimize the negative effects about agrarian matter, the Government has been implementing mechanisms to solve the agrarian problem, for example, the Land Statute and the foundation of the Agrarian Colonization and Reformation National Institute (INCRA). At this process, mechanisms of agrarian reform model were instituted, as can be identified 20 types of settlements, such as the Managed Settlement Projects (PAD). This study aims to evaluate the Humaita Managed Settlement Project, located in Porto Acre – AC. For this, it uses an analysis of the dynamics of the Rural Family Development Index (IDF-R) in the periods 2005/2006 and 2012/2013. The IDF-R allows finding the living conditions of the rural family farmers, approaching dimensions of their daily lives and comparing both periods. The results presented that the Humaita’s familiar production units did not achieve the so coveted rural development.
