O Programa Terra Legal em Marabá contribui realmente para pacificação no campo?

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate whether the Land Legal Program has contributed to minimize the agrarian conflicts existing in the South and Southeast of Pará and to what extent this contribution is made. For that, bibliographic research and documentary research were used. When examining the concepts and historical aspects of agrarian reform, land regularization and land conflicts, it is verified that the Brazilian land structure is marked by insufficient safe information, reflecting the insufficiency of programs focused on land regularization. In this context, in 2009 the federal government issued Law 11,952 / 2009 which deals with the regularization of rural and urban land tenure in the territories of the Union in the Legal Amazon. Although the Terra Legal Program does not have mechanisms to deal with agrarian conflicts, so that the Program only acts when provoked, a series of measures aimed at pacification in the field must be highlighted, especially with regard to the measures adopted In partnership with INCRA. Given this, that for small farmers (those with areas up to four fiscal modules), the Land Legal Program is a valid instrument in the search for mechanisms to combat agrarian conflicts. However, it is questionable with regard to the regularization of land over four fiscal modules, in view of the possibility of regularization of areas of large squatters, which, not infrequently, have practices of environmental crimes, disrespect to labor legislation, and as a strong incidence of agrarian conflicts.
