Território, poder e litígio: conflitos territoriais entre Parambu (CE) e Pimenteiras

Abstract

The territorial configuration of Ceará will take place at first by the Portuguese colonization and the withdrawal of Indian territory for the livestock. And, in a second time from triggering a trade flow and services from the products obtained from cattle raising. Over the years many districts failed political emancipation, going to a municipality, taken often by political interests linked to landowners, which had no legal and judicial criteria for delimitation of borders, creating areas of dispute between the municipalities own state and municipalities with neighboring states. We have an example of Ceará the dispute area with other Northeastern states, that have occurred with the Rio Grande do Norte as the definition of the boundary of the Apodi plateau; and Piaui, as the definition of the limit of the Chapada Ibiapaba. That being last the object of study of this work, but precisely in the dispute area between the towns of Parambu (CE) and Pimenteiras (PI), located in the region of Inhamuns the state of Ceará. The creation and dissolution of municipalities for reasons mostly politicians, who did not take into account any legal basis, has made several litigation areas were created in the territory of these two states. Generating various conflicts that are reflected to this day, with the main actors involved squatters and landowners in the region. These conflicts eventually demonstrate the power relations in the field as well as its contradictions. The lack of a solution to these problems further increases the tension among residents, who suffer from the lack of public policies that meet their aspirations possession of the land and better quality of life. According to this scenario, the general objective is to analyze the territorial conflicts occurring the dispute area between Ceará and Piauí, highlighting the municipalities of Parambu and Pimenteiras. To achieve this goal we tried to discuss the geographical, historical, economic and political processes that led to litigation training in the territory under the influence of these municipalities; map the territorial spatiality of the communities involved in the litigation area; analyzing the intervention proposals of both governments in the search for resolution of this problem. Thus we seek to carry out a qualitative work, based on the dialectical method. The working procedures were organized around five areas: literature review, document search, visit the institutions that work with the topic, fieldwork, tabulation and analysis of data. We can see that the issues of this dispute area are political problems, mainly characterized by administrative disobedience, on both sides, which has in this area a source of votes of achievements through licit and illicit, requiring immediate intervention of the government to solve this question, since the population is totally unassisted their rights as citizens.
