Desenvolvimento socioambiental do Assentamento Oito de Junho

Abstract

In Brazil there are many studies on the impacts of land reform settlements in different regions of the country. This study aims to understand the social, economic and environmental impacts of a land reform settlement, considered the second poorest region of Paraná, Cantuquiriguaçu region, located in the center south of the state and has Laranjeiras do Sul as a hub city. A re-gion considered undeveloped, so included in the development policies of the federal govern-ment as a territory of citizenship, which should make more public investment to balance the development of other regions. First a brief overview on the idea of historical development that arises after the Second World War it is made, as concern about the situation of non-development of third world countries. It is a concept formulated in rich countries, especially the United States and since this perception is articulated around a set of institutions and poli-cies to bring development to poor countries. Critical are made to this proposition and the way the development and poverty are perceive in third world countries, where theories that arise undress and show the links between development and underdevelopment or poverty or even the impossibility of development within the landmarks of the controls of imperialism, that comes with the concentration and centralization of capital after the industrial development in large companies in the core countries of capitalism that subordinate other countries. Seeks to show how the development in the proposed logic, arrived in the camp, the so-called Green Revolution, with all the social, environmental and economic factors that caused upgrading and emptying the field "painfully." In the current phase of modernization, with the growing crises of capitalism across the board, the term development takes many shapes and is offered at different scales, evokes democratic participation, opens to the environmental and social issues, etc. Critics generally do not endorse these propositions that want to control social processes, but they put up on the side of multivariate peasants and family farmers, which have emerged in recent years as an important subject, resisting exclusion, seeking alternatives to the project's capital. To discuss and define positions or paths was chosen Settlement Oito de Junho in Laranjeiras do Sul to see the results of agrarian reform in the economic, social and environmental. And since the results obtained weave a reflection on the conditions in which people live, whether they are satisfied and if we can take this as a perspective for the devel-opment of the field in the view of the peasantry or the family farm. Also seeks to infer from the situation presented on the importance of agrarian reform and its relevance as a solution to the rural poor and social contribution for the development of the surrounding city and region and as such for the country.
