Abstract
The authors focus on land ownership distribution of Santa Maria municipality, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, under two aspects: possession and dimension. At first instance, the authors observe the number of rural properties considering intervals of 15 years. Activity and property size are analyzed noting primarily the significant increase in the number of properties with less than 100 ha and the causes of land pulverization, while at the same time the authors search for a cause to explain property division in a general way amongst any of the dimensional groups. Secondly, the level of concentration of land ownership is made by using the Gini Coefficient. The high to very high concentration found, lacks significance, considering the analysis of the district's landscape. Consequently it is obvious that considering the physical conditions at the present stage of regional development, the concentration can be much more important than the unestimulating pulverization which is alds a cause of rural exodus.
