Regularização fundiária de comunidades quilombolas em Mato Grosso do Sul/Brasil

Abstract

This text aims to present the land regularization policy in some quilombola communities, based on the results of the research project "Public Policies in quilombola communities of Mato Grosso do Sul", with the proposal to make a diagnosis about the regularization of the traditional territories. In methodological terms, from the land situation, six communities were chosen in process legalization of their territories, with which fieldwork was carried out (interview and discussions with leaders), as well as a bibliographical survey and documentary analysis, especially based on data from INCRA's administrative processes. We analyzed public policies in these communities in the last 10 years and, in particular, the current situation of the processes of recognition, delimitation, titling and demarcation of lands occupied by remaining quilombos. From the data, we have reached some results: There are currently approximately 30 quilombola communities in MS, almost all of them identified and formalized by the Palmares Cultural Foundation, and among these, 18 with an administrative procedure instituted at INCRA. We conclude that guaranteeing the right to land titling is to give the communities the possibility of permanence in their territories, which will lead to them more autonomy and awareness of their rights. The main limitations of the research were the lack of official data in municipal and state bodies related to these communities, besides the limitation in updating all the data. It is an unpublished work, result of academic research, with proposal to evaluate and subside public policies.
