Modelling Brazilian indigenous tribes land rights with ISO 19152 LADM
Paixao, Silvane et al.
The issue of indigenous land rights is a particularly pressing political and socio-economical issue in contemporaneous Brazil. Violent land disputes between non-indigenous land ownership and indigenous with overlapping claims to land rights is a complex problem. It has been caused by the bureaucratic and slow process of land adjudication that generates insecure property rights leading to the violent land disputes. Another problematic issue on indigenous land is the deforestation process. Motivated by such pressing framework, and using the experience and results obtained in a previous paper on indigenous forest rights in India, where a recent Act of law defined the situation, the initial team of authors has grown to include Brazilian land administration experts.
