Todos os Santos e o direito à moradia: a regularização fundiária do núcleo urbano localizado em Paço do Lumiar/MA.

Abstract

Informal employment is a challenging and striking reality in many Brazilian cities, reflecting historical processes of social inequality, disorderly land occupation and high real estate acquisition costs. The Todos os Santos community, located in Paço do Lumiar/MA, is an example of these challenges, with its origins in an informal occupation that dates back to 2008 and whose occupants, holders of possession but deprived of the property, do not had legal certainty. Land Regularization, governed by Law No. 13,465/2017, seeks addressing these challenges by promoting the regularization of informal urban centers. So, the study investigated the application of Law No. 13,465, of July 11, 2017 in the regularization land ownership of this urban center, aiming to evaluate its degree of effectiveness and its impacts on the perspective of full urban land regularization centered on the tripod of titling, infrastructure and social integration. To this end, bibliographic research was used as a methodology and documentary, predominantly qualitative and partially quantitative aligned with the study of case. In the context of the Todos os Santos community, the work demonstrated that regularization land ownership represented a significant advance over titling, providing legal security to the 376 occupants. However, there is clearly a need for additional measures to ensure full integration of the neighborhood into the city, providing improvements in infrastructure and quality of life. Thus, the research revealed that, despite efforts to issue housing titles, the social integration and the core infrastructure are still not satisfactory, leaving pending essential improvements such as paving streets, implementing a sewage system and improvements in urban mobility. It is therefore concluded that the effectiveness of the application of the law is partial in the case study, demanding complementary actions to achieve integration complete social and urban core
