Assentamento São José do Ferreirinho : processo de constituição e permanência na terra

Abstract

The research consists of making a geographic analysis of the settlement São José do Ferreirinho, located in the municipality of Goiás, presenting its process of constitution and permanence in the land. The methodologies used were: surveys bibliography, interviews with some settlers, interview with the coordinator of the Pastoral da Terra da Diocese de Goiás, documentary research at CPT, application of open questionnaires with 20 families from the settlement, tabulation, creation of graphs and analysis of them. The formation of large estates occurred since the arrival of colonizers Portuguese in Brazilian territory, with the incentive of the public power and preventing peasants from living in contact with the countryside; Faced with this situation, the Reform Agrária appears as the viable solution for the agrarian question, because it represents the rural workers' claims regarding the appropriation of what they produced. While it does not happen, rural workers and unemployed people in the city organize in trade unions and peasant social movements to put pressure on authorities looking for a solution. It was in this way that in 2005 P.A. São José do Ferreirinho was created, being the 22nd settlement in the municipality of Goiás, and accompanied by the Fetaeg and CPT. The experience of the settlers in the conquered land is small, it is clear that not even everyone manages to acquire subsistence on their plot of land and therefore it is necessary to carry out off-property activities. The research seeks to analyze this and other factors that concern the conquest and permanence in the land of the residents of the São José Settlement from Ferreirinho.
