Agrarian Structure Georeferenced: Implications of planning and management of the rural area in Brazil

Abstract

In a country of continental dimensions like Brazil, with deep historical marks of socioeconomic and space inequalities, where there is scarcity of accurate information for planning and land management, knowing how the occupation process happens and the use of land becomes the premise for any decision. Having some reliable information about the distribution of the properties of the Earth by the space - the agrarian structure - is a determining factor to define the profile of policies for the territory. Due to this understanding, this study aims to highlight the importance of georeferencing of the rural properties in the ordinance of agrarian structure and the establishment of a database that serves as a tool for territorial planning and management .
