New law of the agricultural property georeferencing in Brazil : a profile of the professionals in Rio Grande do Sul State

Thum, Adriane B. ... [et al.]

With Law 10,267 published in 28 August, 2001 that deals with the georeferencing of rural landed properties, some paradigms begin to change, that is, there is a new position allied to doubts and questions from professionals that work in the measurement area. This new structure brings a series of advantages, imperfections and resistence from the ones involved in this process. One of the difficulties is the unfamiliarity by the population about the existence of the Law and the benefits it will bring, besides the lack of qualified professionals to supply the growing demand, to imply in an examination and not in just a simple measurement. With the objective to research the profile of professionals and what Surveyors from Rio Grande do Sul State think, this research was carried out. There is in the State, as well as in other parts of the National Territory, lack of qualified professionals to services of georeferencing of rural landed properties. Some have already seeked for improvement in the area, others are still getting professional improvement in order to be accredited. Most professionals are from the Agronomic Engineering, followed by Agricultural, Road, Geodesy technicians, Civil Engineers, among others. Some important aspects of the research illustrate that for 92% of the interviewed say this change will bring many positive aspects such as a greater professional value, compelling them to a constant recycling. They believe that in the future there will be a natural selection, remaining in the market just the serious and technically qualified Surveyors. Another positive aspect is that, with the new law, it will be possible the reorganise the property cadastre, it will create a norm for the agrarian issue in the country, besides creating great service demand. Among the negative aspects, it was evidenced the problem with the identification and the agreement of neighbours when localising the boarders, the elaboration of more consistent reports and a lot of doubts in relation to INCRAAs technical norm. Thus, results suggest a serious discussion about the thematic in question, as well as professional education in this area.
