2  The land problem in Brazil stems from the occupation process of the territory implement by Portuguese and later by the brazilian rulers;  In the case of Mato Grosso, the situation of insecurity of land ownership is substantially aggravated in comparison with other states through having had a largely disorderly occupation in which the public agencies in the state, granted lands in haphazard fashion.  The objective of this article is to show solution found to solve the land issues: the establishment of the Agrarian Affairs and Public Registries Committee of the Justice Internal Affairs Department in the State of Mato Grosso.

5 Land destination in the province of Mato Grosso Land regulation established as to favor private interests of a minority in the state. Transference of public lands to private owners through government institutions as political favors is commonplace. Department of Land and Colonization (DTC), created in 1945: colonization enterprises obtained an average or 200,000 hectares (bought in bulk for Cr$ 10 and resold to colonists at prices ranging from Cr$ 100-300 per hectare. DTC closed many times due to great number of frauds, final closure in 1966. From 1966-1977 there were no specific government agency to regulate land destination.

6 Land destination in the province of Mato Grosso Late 1970s: creation of the CODEMAT (Mato Grosso Development Company) and INTERMAT (Land Institute of Mato Grosso). Cold or “flying” titles: formal land titles obtained with the government agencies and after the acquisition of the titles, these were 'adjusted' to areas which did not correspond to their original extension and registered in the Land Registry Offices. This practice resulted in overlapping titles (many owners to the same area) all around the state of Mato Grosso until today. During the military regime (esp in the 1970s and 1980s): huge colonization attempt on the outskirts of the Amazônia, INTERMAT raised administratively about 6,4 million hectares of vacant land to be sold to colonization enterprises in a process far from transparent.

7 Land destination in the province of Mato Grosso Conclusions: No clear delimitation of public and private lands. Overlapping titles and no complete land cadaster. Every single land management agency (DTC, CODEMAT, INTERMAT) sold land without demarcation of the areas described in the titles. Impossibility of good land governance practices due to: Lack of transparency in land-related bodies Lack of a single cadaster that distinguish public from private land and identifies public vacant lands.

8 Land tenure problems detected by the methodology LGAF Lack of understanding of the land ownership base of state and federal origin Mismatches on the land ownership base Problems with the state land agency (INTERMAT) Absence of a cadaster for private real estate, possibility of appropriation and the fragility of the registration system Confused, disjointed institutional arrangements and policies Problems with the State Courts

9 The solution to solve the problems The Justice Internal Affairs Department in the State of Mato Grosso created, in 2011, the Land Affairs and Public Registry Committee of the Courts of Justice with the aim of promoting:  Synergy between the organs;  a joint debate on the existing land ownership problems in state;  regularization of both urban and rural real estate in the state.

10 The Committee has the following duties  I – To study the occupation of land by creating a database on this subject;  II – To identify the main problems between Land Registries and Land Management in the state of Mato Grosso;  III – To submit a proposal for concrete solutions for cases submitted to it;  IV – To promote the qualification of professionals operating in the area covered by this directive;  V – To analyze queries or processes submitted to them by the participating institutions or any other entities which, for the purposes of clarification, may enter into contact.

11 Measures Taken by the Land Affairs and Public Registry Committee  Provision 15/2014 – CGJ/MT - Creates the Municipal Land Affairs Committee and Municipal Land Regularization Councils.  Results: 20 municipalities have created the commission and the city council.  Provision 36/2013 – CGJ/MT - Provides for the standardization of georeferencing legalization procedures and recording of Definitive Titles issued by the State and/or Federal Public Authorities.  Results: The city of Comodoro is developing a land regularization program you want to legalize more than 1,500 land located in a community of low-income urban areas. So far, the municipal program Regulate Commodore has claimed informality at least 100 families.  Provision 37/2013 – CGJ/MT - Provides for the extinction of condominium pro diviso),

12 Measures Taken by the Land Affairs and Public Registry Committee  Provision 56/2014 – CGJ/MT, which set a period of 60 days for INTERMAT to supply the Letter of Consent.  Results: provided more quickly to the land regularization process in state public land ;  Provision 63/2014 – CGJ/MT - Provides for the standardization of the georeferencing registration procedure in the matriculation of mismatched and/or overlapping titles;  Provision 68/2014 – CGJ/MT - Provides for the regularization of INCRA Rural Settlement Projects and the registration of agrarian reform titles.  Results: More than 80,000 families will benefit the state.

13 Conclusions That the land problems of Mato Grosso result from disordered way held territorial occupation; Absence of a register and the lack of knowledge of public and private lands; Lack of structure, organization and transparency of state land agency, the INTERMAT; The creation of land affairs committee to identify land tenure problems, propose solutions and publish rules to make them viable is a kind of ideal mechanism to achieve good land governance; The promotion of dialogue and the exchange of information between government agencies, non-governmental and civil society that the commission is being provided essential for conflict resolution in the State of Mato Grosso.
