Abstract

This paper intends to analyze the effectiveness of public policies involving the creation of conservation units in view of the land regularization mechanisms provided by Law no. 9,985/00, which are essential for fulfilling the objectives established by the National System of Conservation Units (SNUC), particularly in relation to full protection conservation units. For this endeavor, this paper begins by delineating the discussion, addressing how environment, specially protected areas, property and dwelling are intertwined themes in the Brazilian law framework. Then, it focuses on analyzing the socio-environmental function of property as the foundation of public policies involving the creation of specially protected areas, also addressing current laws and regulations governing these areas, specially the conservation units framework. One this explanation is concluded, this paper advances to its core, scrutinizing relevant aspects in connection with land regularization mechanisms provided for by Law no. 9985/00. Therefore, based on these aspects, this paper seeks to confirm that these mechanisms are indispensable to the effectiveness of public policies involving the creation of conservation units, suggesting, as far as possible, alternatives to the application of regulations for purposes of contributing to the SNUC effectiveness.
