The understanding of the territory is extremely necessary for the social understanding
of those involved, as this concept makes it possible to understand the socio-spatial
relations of the territory covered. The expansion of the public debate in relation to the
case of the Vista Alegre do Juá occupation, located on the banks of Avenida
Fernando Guilhon, in the city of Santarém, was the impetus for this work, as it houses
the outline of this debate in a local scale the objective of this research is to
understand how the urban land dispute occurs in the context of an occupation, and
specifically to characterize the process of spontaneous occupations in Brazil in the
20th century, to identify regionalization regarding spontaneous occupations and
territorial dispute and finally to analyze as occurs the territorial dispute in the middle
of the right to housing in the case of Vista Alegre do Juá. The method adopted for the
production of this work was the qualitative, exploratory research and case study.
Therefore, there are some conflicts that have been generated since the beginning of
the occupation of Vista Alegre do Juá, influenced by the logic of capital involved.
Currently, the conflict of interest occurs between the population occupying this
disputed area, in which the largest portion are poor people, and the companies Buriti
Empreendimentos e Construções LTDA and Shopping Rio Tapajós Shopping, both
undertakings claim that this occupation harms them in their business . Finally, given
what was exposed in the work, it can be said that one of the causes for unplanned
urban growth, that is, land occupations, territorial disputes (land disputes), are the
development policies carried out in the region, that is. for decades it has been
generating an urban expansion.
