A contribuição da atividade registral imobiliária para a sustentabilidade

Abstract

The great challenges related to environmental preservation, have occupied the center of debates in modern society, due to the consequences that the good or bad use of natural resources can generate for present and future generations. In this context, this study conducts an analysis of the concept of sustainability in its systemic-constitutional character, seeking to highlight its interdisciplinary aspect, inevitably relating it to land registration activity, whose performance is amalgamated with the most diverse areas of social interest and it is studied in its essential aspects. The question that arises is: is the Real Estate Registry Office, with its structure, performance and attributions, in fact collaborating with the efficiency of sustainability in its economic, social and environmental aspects? Has the performance of this Extrajudicial Serventia promoted legal security in real estate traffic and contributed to our economic development, as well as to the Democratic Rule of Law? In this context, the scope of the work that follows is to demonstrate the importance of the contribution and the necessary interrelation of the Real Estate Registry Offices with the service of sustainability, in view of its wide scope, reaching the most diverse segments of the sciences and activities of the modern society. Bodies instituted by the State Power, the Real Estate Registry also plays the role of guardian of the social and environmental functions of the property, thus ensuring the condition of the dignity of the human person.
