The Amazon has been jointly glimpsed as a space where a wide range of differences emerge, both within and outside the region. Establishing ways to measure these diversities through the prism of the quality of life and well-being of their populations is an urgent initiative to be satisfied. Thus, this article presents the application of the PICOC methodology for mapping the indicators from the actions that represent the quality of life and welfare of the population of the Brazilian Amazon. A systematic mapping was carried out in five scientific databases in order to map works published in the period from 2017 to 2021. As results, 31 indices related to quality of life and well-being were found arranged in the dimensions of environment, health, education, governance, social programs, and income. The dimensions of environment, health, education, governance, and social programs and income are the main recurrences. The findings allowed as contributions: (i) quantify and qualify the works, listing their sources, year of publication, area of application and repository of origin; (ii) identify the most recurrent dimensions of the indicators found; (iii) relate the indexes to the quantities of dimensions that compose them.

Traditional knowledge has for a long time been the only way of teaching that was a source of income for many and provided for their survival. With the advent of modernity, the technique of salting food has lost space for the food refrigeration and freezing system, but this knowledge is of paramount importance to keep alive the culture and identity of communities, such as Murutinga, in the municipality of Abaetetuba, Pará This production had as proposal to know the process used for salting of the food besides analyzing how this knowledge was acquired and its importance for future generations. Among the procedures adopted, we sought reports from former residents describing the methods used to conserve foods such as meat, fish and shrimp through salting, simultaneously carrying out a bibliographic study in order to address and subsidize the analysis of their inherent biochemical processes. The results show that there is still a strong presence of this traditional knowledge in the locality investigated, so that the practice of salting is still being carried out in this area, with emphasis also on the efforts of the elders to spread this practice to the young people of the community.
