Paraná’s Borderland Strip: barriers to Land Law Governance

Abstract

The Borderland Strip region has restrictions on property rights. About 35% of Paraná's municipalities are located on this region, immersed in legal insecurity, frequent agrarian’s conflict, and land uncertainties. The article presents elements of analysis of the dimensions of rural land regularization in this region, through the systematization of mappings, sampling, documents, and statistical surveys. It observes discrepancies between official data, possessions, and subdivisions, pointing to the lack of a computerized system, scarce budgetary resources, and a reduced number of servers in a scenario where the administrative apparatus creates problems for itself. The results indicate several research possibilities in order to find out what the real conditions of non-owners in this strip are in relation to the ratification and regularization of their properties.
