SOCIAL REPERCUSSION

The set of measures adopted to represent the

program, its visual identity, the standardized technical material,

the multidisciplinary technical team, the dynamic character and

their experiences and results really echoed at the communities

which, through associations, are actively participating in the

regularization processes.

PUBLIC REPERCUSSION

Given its efficacy and organization, it went beyond

expectations, being welcomed and being worthy of the

respectability of the Legal, Judicial and Executive Branches, as

well as the civil society.

With that, a non-partisan public policy was

developed which, if nicely conducted, may, within one decade,

solve the problems and conflicts of the São Paulo State land

regularization.
