  Besides humans and institutions are the major driver of environmental changes [Lambin, Turner et al. 2001; Parker, Berger et al. 2001], models which take in consideration their motivations and the way they take decisions or reason about the environment they are embedded are yet in a very early stage. Several agent theories [Wooldbridge, Jennings 1995] and architectures [Minar 1996; Swarm 2008; NetLogo 2008, Repast 2008] have been proposed on the literature. However, they were not designed for simulation of human or institutional activities in environmental systems. Therefore, they lack on meet the whole requirements of this application.   Besides humans and institutions are the major driver of environmental changes [Lambin, Turner et al. 2001; Parker, Berger et al. 2001], models which take in consideration their motivations and the way they take decisions or reason about the environment they are embedded are yet in a very early stage.

 Land changes are results from complex social and biophysical systems and their interactions (Turner et al., 1995). Such interactions result from processes that act on different hierarchical levels. At the global scale, the national and international commodities market (beef, grains and timber) drives demand for land change. This way, these changes cannot be adequately understood without knowing their linkages to decisions and structures made elsewhere. In this sense, understanding the role of networks is essential to understanding how to decide about the land use. Land changes are results from complex social and biophysical systems and their interactions (Turner et al., 1995).

 A network is a set of items, which we will call vertices or nodes, with connections between them, called edges. Networks exist everywhere and at every scale and can be physical, such as infrastructure networks, and logical ones, such as market chains, linking a certain location to distant consumption or influential sites. Several works argue that networks are an important tool to describe complex systems, (Barabasi, 2003), (Newman, 2006) and (Watts, 2009) . We believe which networks can be an important tool to link the actor of land change to global scenarios, as market and police public in land change modeling. A network is a set of items, which we will call vertices or nodes, with connections between them, called edges.
