Housing policies and peri-urban urbanization in the Amazon Regionthe case of Mártires de Abril Settlement, Mosqueiro, Belém, Pará State

Resumo

This paper analyzes the constitution of the Mártires de Abril Settlement, an initiativeby the Landless Workers Movement in the municipality of Belém since 1998. The focus is the implementationof the Casulo Settlement Project, made possible by the National Institute of Colonization and Land Reform andthe Minha Casa Minha Vida Rural Program, by the Municipal City Hall of Belém and the Caixa EconômicaFederal bank. We discuss the reach of public actions in order to understand a peri-urban dynamics present inthe Amazon. The paper analyzes the complex layout of the settlement, molded by the action and lack of actionfrom public policies in different scales and temporalities. By limiting itself to a technicist, restrictive and simplistic view, the governmental apparatus ignores the specific set of social and spatial dynamics that are manifestedbecause of their own interference. Conflict is then harbored both by their dissociation from those very policies,which are constantly in internal contradiction, and overlooking the heterogeneity of the settlement.
