Fieldwork in geography: landscapes in sparsely populated areas

This article discusses, in an analytical and discursive way, a fieldwork experience on the landscapes of the natural spaces of northeastern Brazil. The methodology follows the field description of regional analysis and uses technical procedures for demographic and statistical studies to determine the route and perform analyzes. The main results point to the diversity of landscape conceptions as resource, product, image, mosaic and trajectory. The importance of fieldwork for performing complex and analytical landscape readings is highlighted.
