Projetos estaduais de assentamento em área de Marinha: regularização fundiária e desenvolvimento regional, o caso do Arquipélago de Bailique, AP.

Abstract

Land regularization of 6 settlements in Bailique Archipelago and regional development. This article discusses the obstacles to land regularization because the 6 settlements were "authorized" by the State of Amapá on maritime lands (property of the Federal Union). The squatters in these settlements are prevented from accessing rural credit and financing programs because they lack title to the land. To date, the Federal Union has not transferred these areas to the State of Amapá. Therefore, state laws lack the normative force to promote land regularization. In other words, the State of Amapá authorized 6 invasions that it called settlements and left the squatters without legal assistance regarding land titles, because they are not and cannot be owners. This situation creates significant obstacles to regional development, considering the impossibility of accessing credit programs.
