A regularização fundiária de interesse social: o estudo de caso do conjunto Bosque Araguaia no bairro do Tapanã em Belém do Pará

Abstract

Accelerated urbanization and disorderly population growth in Brazilian cities have increased the challenges of land regularization, reflecting a historic housing deficit and the expansion of informal occupations. This study analyzes the land regularization process in Conjunto Bosque Araguaia, in Belém (PA), with the aim of understanding how the legalization of properties contributes to improving living conditions, stability of ownership and strengthening the citizenship of residents. The research adopts a qualitative approach, based on data collected directly from residents, and discusses the role of public policies and community participation in the effectiveness of the regularization process. The results indicate that land regularization, combined with public infrastructure and social inclusion policies, can play a fundamental role in promoting sustainable urban development and reducing social inequalities. The analysis also reveals that the lack of integrated actions on the part of municipal departments, provided for in terms of cooperation for the area, limits the full scope of the expected benefits. Thus, land regularization emerges as a relevant instrument, but insufficient if not linked to broader and more effective public policies.
