Abstract
The lack of topographic mapping and the historical problem of land demarcation in Brazil
Highlights
This paper presents the arguments to propose a research project whose primary goal is to identify topographic mapping deficiencies in its relationship with the current regulatory framework in the Brazilian legal system
The Brazilian colonial state policy that held the entire territory's domain defined the first phase of the Brazilian territorial occupation and land legislation evolution
The moment coincides with the first attempt of modernization by establishing public lands to transfer them just to those who had access to the state apparatus (Land Law of 1850). This Law was regulated by decree 1318 of 1854, which determined the land measurement and created the Commissioner Judge of Measurements. These processes occurred without having a particular concern with the cartographic aspects related to the precise demarcation of land boundaries, i.e., the concern was only with the boundaries of the Colony and Empire, but not with the boundaries of the domains and possessions of subjects
Summary
The moment coincides with the first attempt of modernization (understanding legal modernity based on individual private property) by establishing public lands to transfer them just to those who had access to the state apparatus (Land Law of 1850). The Brazilian colonial state policy that held the entire territory's domain defined the first phase of the Brazilian territorial occupation and land legislation evolution. The Brazilian territory occupation occurred without being correctly mapped and, be unknown in around 300 years.
