Abstract

The San Jose Project - Land Action (PSJ) composed an action pilot insertion of the World Bank in Brazil, in 1997, through the funding of access to land to landless and minifundistas in order to promote the fight against rural poverty articulating with the State Government. This research aims to evaluate the implementation process and development of the JSP from the meaning of tenure of households Settlement Forest II, the city of Quixadá, from 1997 to 2011. The activities developed for this study were based on participatory research culminating with an Outcome Assessment. For both, it was adopted as procedures and techniques: a survey of primary and secondary data, questionnaires, focus groups with representations of the settlements; semistructured interviews with families and managers of partner institutions and MST. The timeframe of the study was determined from the social intervention of the MST, which was marked in 2007 by the Government of Ceará new payment terms for the land. Thus, the study found that the 44 settlements by the year 2010 were delinquent in the payment of the land and their membership modified; investment projects for community families are not verifiable documentation of accountability, the residential property suffered to buy high speculation and distortions of the number of hectares, affecting the price of land and financing of family maintenance in the field. Regarding the Settlement Forest II, it was identified that the 08 settler families have mixed feelings of belonging land, and maintenance challenges of social and productive family unit and their community. The perception of the financial agent opposite meaning for the families of the earth suggests the possibility of economic growth through land tenure, while recognizing that it is a tool of empowerment for social dignity. Referring to the MST, we emphasize social control in public policy field with governmental institutions in order to ensure a participatory and emancipatory for the construction of rural settlements should ensure that an action peasant. . From the above it follows that the PSJ as a member of the National Land Credit is not as effective public policy. It is constituted as a State intervention to tenure, since families do not have access to paid-shape public policy for the Field.
