Problem description

Santa Izabel do Pará is a Brazilian municipality in the state of Pará, located in the North Region of Brazil, belonging to the Metropolitan Region of Belém, 36 km from this capital. Its estimated population in 2017 was 68,836 inhabitants, according to IBGE estimates.
The present proposal aims to implement the Urban Land Regularization Program, a transformation process that aims to legitimize possession or property in irregularly occupied urban areas, promoting and ensuring the right to housing, as well as assisting in reducing inequality, defending the environment and the social function of property – a fundamental mechanism to minimize this social problem, which affects the lives of several families, who live in precarious and irregular housing.
Through correct planning and with constancy in the implementation of their actions become effective re-signifying the spaces as healthy environments, safe and attractive to human and economic development, providing the city and its inhabitants elevation in the levels of quality of life.
The main challenge is the continuity of this process over the legally pre-established temporal spaces related to public administration, financial expenditures for the sustainability and longevity of activities related to the process and its full urban territorial scope.
