In this present master’s degree dissertation we seek to present a research related to the territorial
planning of the municipality of Senador Jose Porfirio - State of Para, which inserted the
Amazonian territorial context, presents itself as the only city that has a discontinuous territory.
The territorial planning requires establishing interrelationships with a high degree of
complexity, involving political conflicts, which can generate impasses and new spatial
configurations. The territorial planning establishes government guidelines as new definitions
of powers are established in the territory, with challenges imposed on municipal administrations
and the influences created by a globalized policy. The municipality, on the other hand, is an
institution thought of as an administrative tool that has been shaping itself on the European
continent and is inserted in Brazil by its colonizers, that has always been seen in an inferior
position compared to other units of federation (Federal and Government). After a historical
formation that dates back to the 17th century (1639), Senator Jose Porfirio, which was once one
of the largest municipalities territorially in the world, that was once named Souzel, reaches the
present day with its separate territorial limits, after the emancipation of the municipalities of
Anapu and Vitória do Xingu in the early 1990s. With the socio-economic dynamics established
in the region and the implementation of large projects such as UHE Belo Monte and Volta
Grande Gold, the occupation of the territory intensified, putting pressure on municipal
management with basic demands such as health, education and road maintenance. The present
research will try to analyze the possible implications in the territorial management of the
municipality of Senador Jose Porfirio. Considering the context of discontinuity, municipal
public management and territoriality, since it is imperative to strengthen the latter to achieve
sustainable development.
