A Defensoria Pública como órgão para resolução dos conflitos fundiários e influenciadora na elaboração e condução de Políticas Públicas de habitação voltada para grupos vulneráveis

Abstract

On the one hand we find millions of properties with clear signs of abandonment; on the other hand, millions of families who have nowhere to live. This sad finding is the cruel picture of social inequality in our country that is emphasized in the popular housing sector. One of the consequences of this mismatch is the accelerated growth of urban land conflicts. In recent years, several actors have already made commendable attempts to prevent the explosion of land conflicts, however, none of these attempts have managed to resolve them or prevent land conflicts from occurring. In view of this situation, interest arose in elaboration of this thesis, which was to find solutions to mitigate the emergence of urban land conflicts and assist the other actors in the justice system and the powers constituted in finding viable solutions to conflicts and the chronic land problem for the most vulnerable populations. To this end, we intend to prove in this thesis that the Public Defender's Office is the appropriate public agency for this task, in order to become an important instrument for resolving land conflicts, acting in the non-judicial area with the possible creation of the mediation chamber and at the same time influencing the elaboration and conduction of public policies of popular housing with the Executive and Legislative Power, using for this purpose their non-judicial instruments.
