<p> This study examines the problem of "rurbanization," which is a term that has been applied to the process by which rural areas are being changed by urban influences. This implies more than the traditional geographic concept of land-use change at the rural-urban fringe, but is concerned with bagic changes in the agricultural industry relating to appearance, land use, nengity and social structure.</p> <p> In rural Southern Ontario, there are two main phenomena occurring to effect these changes: the increage in part-time farming and in low-density residences. This study is concerned more specifically with an examination of these two phenomena. Its two main objectives are to gee how these two are interrelated and how they have affected agriculture and rural society. </p> <p> The study achieveg thege objectives through the use of a questionnaire admtnigtered to residents of Brantford township, a rural area with a thriving agricultural industry, but at the same time under considerable stress from urban pressures. Three types of residents were surveyed: full- time farmers, part-time farmers and non-farmers. The data collected was subjected to discriminant and cross-tabulation analyses in order to observe similarities and differences among the three groups . These similarities and differences allowed inferences concerning the acceptance or rejection of six postulated hypotheses. </p> <p> The following general conclusions result from the analysis: </p> <p> Part-time farmers and rural non-farmers are predominantly former urbanites who have migrated to rural areas. Both groups share similar occupations and have lived at the rural location for a similar length of time, but non-farmers tend to be older an to have been born and raised on a farm. However, there does exist a significant minority of part-time farmers who ere former full-time farmers. Both phenomena appear to be fairly permanent arrangements as the overwhelming majority of both groups wished to maintain their present status. </p> <p>Full-time farmers tend to have a larger size of holding than part-time farmers. Part-time farmers place less emphasis on livestock and tobacco as the predominant crop than do full-time farmers, and tend to place a greater emphasis upon corn and mixed grains as cash crops. The type and quality of land that is occupied and the attitude toward the preservation of agricultural land do not vary significantly by group. All three groups were strongly in favour of preservation of land for farming. The participation rates of part time and non farmers in the rural organizations of the township and in the urban organizations of nearby towns are not significantly different from those of full-time farmers. </p> <p> The study has confirmed some of the findings of other researchers and has in turn shed some new light on the "rurbanization" problem. Urban out-migration has been found to be the most important cause of the problem. Thus, the problem appears to be the result of a social phenomenon rather than a physical one, and the phenomena causing the problem appear to be persistent and permanent. It may also be noted that the choice of alternative, either part-time farming or non-farming residency, is somehow related to the age and location of birth and childhood of the urban out-migrant. Significantly, more part-time farmers were born in city and more non-farmers were born on a farm. It may be argued that is precisely opposite to the situation that might be expected. / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)

Master of Landscape Architecture / Department of Landscape Architecture/Regional and Community Planning / Stephanie A. Rolley / The Urban Land Institute / Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Competition offers teams of multi-disciplinary graduate students the opportunity to address a large scale site that presents complex challenges requiring practicable, innovative solutions reflecting responsible land use. Solutions must incorporate design, planning, market potential, market feasibility, and development. Some of the brightest students from universities across the United States and Canada compete annually, incorporating bold ideas, outstanding graphics, and great presentations in order to win the competition. The scale of the competition and the quality of entries makes it difficult to advance from the initial submission round to the final four entries selected for the final phase of the competition. Entering the competition is a complex process requiring adherence to a multitude of rules and regulations about team formation, design solutions, financial information, presentation materials, and deadlines. This study documents the process of one student team entering the 2009 competition. Analysis of previous competition responses and principles of urban design theory informed an innovative design solution that incorporates sustainability, livability, and connectivity. This project analyzes previous project entries, looking for patterns and indicators to guide the competition response. Combining the analysis and design philosophy, which utilizes specific sustainable landscape architectural principles, forms the framework of the design solution. The response focuses on process-driven design implementing sustainable frameworks that account for existing an emergent ecologies, historical and cultural relevance, energy efficiency, hydrological patterns, and public transportation. Results of the study led to conclusions regarding team organization, teamwork, graphic composition, and presentation that will be beneficial for future competition entrants.

Thesis (MA (Sociology and Social Anthropology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Limited academic work has paid attention to the memories generated by claimants engaged in the restitution process. My thesis thus sought to investigate the role of memory in urban land restitution, with specific focus on the Stellenbosch context. In my discussion, I highlight how claimant memories are not only generated by the restitution process but how the master narrative of restitution shapes the memories produced. I argue that claimant memories function and gain wider meaning within the collective memory, through which the master narrative of restitution shapes how they remember – and in so doing, how claimants reconstruct the place from which they were removed. My thesis elucidates how, through the individual narratives of removal and dispossession (and thus, the making of place), claimants position themselves as part of a particular and new form of “imagined community” of land claimants. The context of my research is focussed on the area previously known as Die Vlakte which was located in urban Stellenbosch. Dispossessed and displaced to the outskirts of Stellenbosch town in the early 1960s, the advent of democracy provided the former residents of Die Vlakte the opportunity to claim the land lost. The qualitative methodology of five selected case studies, sought to explore the following objectives of my study: Firstly, to examine how claimants remember and reconstruct the places from which they were removed (that is, the making of place); and secondly, to investigate whether these memories or individual narratives of place are shaped by the master narrative of restitution. By means of engaging prominent theorists and scholars on memory and the master narrative of restitution, my study analyses the various aspects of memory construction and reconstruction within the collective framework. The research points to the interdependent relationship between individual memory and that of collective memory. It is argued that individual memory can only function as part and in reference to the collective memory. Within the restitution process, research shows that the master narrative of restitution not only shapes but controls and organises memory on a collective and hence, individual level. My thesis argues that the individual memories of dispossession and removals of the claimants are similar to national narratives and hence, my thesis illustrates, that the five claimant memories of the place from which they were removed in Die Vlakte is shaped by the master narrative of restitution. Through relaying these narratives of removals and dispossession they thus draw on the master narrative of restitution (from which they derive legitimacy), in order to legitimise their own claim to land and in so doing, placing themselves within the “new” form of imagined communities of land claimants. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Beperkte akademiese werk het aandag geskenk aan die herinnering wat deur eisers, wie betrokke was in die restitusieproses, gegenereer is. My tesis poog dus om die rol van herinnering in stedelike grondrestitusie, met spesifieke fokus op die Stellenbosch konteks. In my bespreking beklemtoon ek hoe eiserherinnering nie net gegeneer word deur die restitusieproses nie, maar hoe die meesternarratief van restitusie die herinnering wat geproduseer is, vorm. Ek voer aan dat eiserherinnering funksioneer en wyer betekenis verkry binne die kollektiewe herinnering, waardeur die meesternarratief van restitusie vorm hoe hulle onthou – en deur dit te doen, hoe eisers die plek waaruit hulle verplaas is waarvandaan hulle verwyder is, heropbou. My tesis verduidelik hoe, deur die individuele narratiewe van verwydering en onteiening (en dus, die skep van plek), eisers hul posisie inneem as deel van 'n besondere en nuwe vorm van "denkbeeldige gemeenskap‟ van grondeisers. Die konteks van my navorsing is gefokus op die area wat voorheen bekend was as Die Vlakte wat voorheen geleë was in die dorp Stellenbosch. Onteien en verdring tot die buitewyke van Stellenboschdorp in die vroeë 1960s, die koms van demokrasie voorsien aan die voormalige inwoners van Die Vlakte die geleentheid om die verlore grond te eis. Die kwalitatiewe metodologie van vyf gekose gevallestudies poog om die volgende doelwitte van my studie noukeurig te bestudeer: Eerstens, om te ondersoek hoe eisers die plekke waarvan hulle verwyder is onthou en heropbou; en tweedens om te ondersoek of hierdie herinneringe of individuele narratiewe van plek deur die meersternarratief van restitusie gevorm word. Deur gesprekvoering met prominente teoretici en kundiges op die gebied van herinnering en die meesternarratief van restitusie, analiseer my studie die verskeie aspekte van herinnering-opbou en heropbouing binne die kollektiewe raamwerk. Die navorsing wys na die interafhanklike verhouding tussen individuele herinnering en die van kollektiewe herinnering. Daar is aangevoer dat individuele herinnering slegs kan funksioneer as deel van en in verhouding tot die kollektiewe herinnering. Binne die restitusieproses wys navorsing dat die meesternarratief van restitusie nie net herinnering vorm nie, maar dit ook beheer en organiseer op 'n kollektiewe en dus individuele vlak. My tesis voer aan dat die individuele herinnering van onteiening en vverwydering van die eisers soorgelyk is aan nasionale narratiewe en dus illustreer my tesis dat die herinnering van die vyf eisers oor die plek waarvan hulle verwyder is in Die Vlakte, gevorm is deur die meesternarratief van restitusie. Deur hierdie narratiewe van verwydering en onteiening te vertel, ontleen die eisers aan die meesternarratief van restitusie (waaruit hul wettiging voortkom), om sodoende hul eie eis om grond wettig te verklaar, en deur dit te doen, hulself te plaas in die “nuwe” vorm van verbeelde gemeenskappe van grondeisers.

The deficiency of sub-Saharan Africa urban land use planning regimes has received extensive discussion in the literature. As yet, little is known of the extent and magnitude of the economic impact of these planning regimes on the economic wellbeing of individuals and the society. This situation is further compounded by the lack of simplified and bespoke methodologies for calibrating economic impacts of planning policies even in the developed world where there are relatively huge volumes of organised data. This study aims to prescribe a simplified quantitative methodology, which is subsequently employed to gauge the economic impacts of these regimes. It proceeds on the central argument that planning regimes in the sub-region are weak with low compliance with planning regulations, partly because they do not provide incentives for property owners/developers/land users. The study adopts a cross-sectional survey strategywith questionnaires and administrative data extraction to procure the requisite data from Accra, Ghana to feed the devised methodological framework. The study establishes that Ghana’s urban land use planning regime, in its current form, imposes huge cost on residential property owners compared to its benefits; it creates a disincentive for property owners. A substantial amount of this cost emanates from pipe-borne water, and tarred roads and concrete drain infrastructural facilities. It is further established that the cost of title formalisation requirement constitutes a huge portion of the cost on express requirements under the planning regime. A major portion of this cost results from the cost other than official fees. However, on individual basis the requirement generates marginal net benefit. Incidental costs for the other express requirements, architectural design and building permit are also substantial. In terms of benefits, tarred roads and concrete drains, formalised title, electricity and pipe-borne water, individually, are found to generate the most benefits under the planning regime. The study makes a number of recommendations. These include formulation of planning policies on the basis of providing incentives to property owners/developer/land users, strategies for reduction of infrastructural and amenities costs, as well as incidental cost relating to compliance with the subject planning regime express requirements.

由於經濟快速發展及國際化、自由化的趨勢，導致城鄉發展的重新結構，也面臨愈來愈多非都市土地開發及農地變更的外來壓力及需求。農地除具有保障糧食安全功能外，尚具有保護自然生態環境、維持生態體系平衡、調和整體土地利用等「外部效益」，世界各國包括美國各洲、德國、日本等，均積極致力於農地保育，嚴格管制農地不得任意轉用；反觀我國土地使用管制及變更制度，自1930年土地法立法至1976年訂定非都市土地使用管制規則，農地係採取積極保護政策；然自1980年代起，由於積極發展工商業，致農業在國民經濟中之重要性日見下降，1995年宣佈實施「農地釋出方案」後，是為農地由分區管制之保護方式走向自由化之起步。2000年修正農業發展條例，放寬農地自由買賣，更將農地進一步推向自由化，然農地自由化仍有其限制，且應建立在嚴格的土地使用管制基礎上。 農地管制政策的放寬，讓許多標準農業區優良農田間，充斥著工廠及加油站、廢棄物處理廠等特定目的事業用地，形成環境污染的隱憂；雖為配合工商業及經濟發展所需，得釋出部份農地，然農業用地劃定或變更為非農業使用，仍應以「不影響農業生產環境之完整」為前提，基於「農地保護」觀點，為確保優良農田不受產業變更或經濟發展所帶來的衝擊或破壞，並維持完整之農業生產環境，確保糧食生產及農業之永續經營，對現行農牧用地變更使用問題，及其規範對現有農業生產環境之影響，實有探究之必要。 目前相關研究多就都市計畫農業區或整體農地資源（包括都市計畫內及非都市土地）之變更法制、管理制度面及回饋機制進行探討，惟就非都市土地農牧用地變更審議相關法令規範及各種型態包括不同面積、不同區位之變更審議規定之差異、後續管制方式及其對於農地資源保育、農業生產環境之影響並未有完整的「實證分析」，當前不同型態農牧用地變更規範，是否合理性？是否均能在「不影響農業生產環境」之前提下進行變更？對周邊農業生產環境之影響有何不同？亦未深入探討，本研究藉由桃園縣個案的實證分析、相關課題的探討及對公私部門及專家學者的深入訪談，以探析我國非都市土地農牧用地變更使用制度及農地保護措施；並以國外之農地保護政策為借鏡，進一步提出農牧用地變更使用制度及農地保護措施之建議改善策略，以別於其他研究。 / Due to fast economic development and the trends of globalization and liberalization, urban and rural development has been completely restructured, and there is a growing need for development of non-urban lands and conversion of farmlands. In addition to maintenance of food sufficiency, farmlands also have other “external benefits”, including preservation of the natural ecological environment, maintenance of an ecological balance, and balancing of overall use of lands. Many nations around the world, including the US, Germany, and Japan, have been devoted to preservation of farmlands through strict control of conversion of farmlands. In an overview of the domestic regulations on land use control and conversion, it can be found that since legislation of the Land Act in 1930 and Regulations on Non-Urban Land Use Control in 1976, our government had been engaged in protection of farmlands. After 1980, the importance of agriculture for the national economy gradually decreased due to promotion of industrial and commercial industries. In 1995, the “Farmland Release Policy” was implemented, ushering in liberalization of farmlands. In 2000, the Agricultural Development Act was amended to lift the ban on free trading of farmlands. The amendment of this act further liberalized the use of farmlands. However, liberalization of farmlands was bound to certain limitation and should be based on strict control of land use. The relaxation of the farmland control policy has made many standard agricultural zones filled with lands used for specific businesses, such as factories, gas stations, and waste processing plants, and caused public worries over environmental pollution. Although release of a portion of farmlands is necessary for commercial and economic development, planning of farmlands or conversion of farmlands for non-agricultural use should be carried out on the condition that “completeness of the agricultural production environment is unaffected”. Based on “farmland protection”, the impact or harm of agricultural changes and economic development on farmlands should be avoided, and the completeness of the agricultural production environment should be maintained, so as to ensure sustainable development of food production and agriculture. Therefore, investigation of issues concerning conversion of farming and grazing lands and regulations governing the impact of such conversion on the agricultural production environment is indeed necessary. In the present, most studies of related issues are focused on regulations on conversion, management, and feedback mechanisms of agricultural zones in urban plan or holistic farmland resources (including non-urban lands in urban plans). However, there is no comprehensive “empirical analysis” of regulations on review of conversion of non-urban farming and grazing lands, difference in regulations for various types of lands (including lands of different sizes and in different regions), subsequent control mechanisms, and the impact of the conversion on preservation of farmland resources or the agricultural production environment. Besides, issues such as whether the regulations on conversion of different types of farming and grazing lands is feasible, whether these lands can be converted on the condition that “the agricultural production environment is unaffected”, and whether conversion of these types of lands causes different effects on their surrounding agricultural production environments, have not been thoroughly investigated so far. Therefore, through an empirical analysis of cases in Taoyuan County, investigation of related issues, and interview with experts and public/private departments, this study aimed to explore the domestic regulations on conversion of use of non-urban farming and grazing lands and protective measures for farmlands. Further, based on farmland protection policies adopted in foreign nations, this study further proposed strategies for improving the current system and protective measures to distinguish itself from other existing studies.

O espaço urbano no Brasil se configura como locus de desigualdades, sendo ao mesmo tempo resultado e palco das dinâmicas socioambientais e econômicas e da expressão política que assume a correlação de forças emanadas dos diversos agentes envolvidos em sua produção e reprodução. Durante o principal período de urbanização brasileiro, a expansão de nossas cidades ocorreu praticamente sem a regulação do Poder Público quanto ao parcelamento do solo, cabendo aos loteadores a definição de vetores de crescimento das cidades, numa perspectiva especulativa de retorno de investimentos a partir da provisão de infraestrutura, essa sim, feita pelo Estado. O objeto desta tese é o processo de elaboração e tramitação do Projeto de Lei 3.057/2000, chamado de projeto de Lei de Responsabilidade Territorial Urbana, que trata da revisão da lei de parcelamento do solo urbano vigente, tendo um capítulo específico sobre o que denomina de \"regularizaç~o fundi|ria urbana sustent|vel\". A tramitaç~o do PL 3.057/2000 teve início pela proposta de alteração pontual de um dos artigos da atual lei nacional de parcelamento do solo, a Lei Lehmann, com o intuito de facilitar a regularização de loteamentos de interesse social. A este projeto foram apensados outros, ampliando seu escopo e atraindo para o processo de discussão variados grupos de interesses. Ao compatibilizar num instrumento normativo único as regras de parcelamento do solo urbano e de regularização fundiária sustentável, o Projeto de Lei reúne campos distintos de intervenção no urbano. A hipótese de pesquisa é que a constituição da arena pública, constituída pelos debates e audiências públicas sobre o projeto, foi determinante para seu processo de elaboração e tramitação. / The urban area in Brazil is shaped as a locus of inequalities, while being the result and the stage of the socio-environmental and economic dynamics and the political expression that takes the correlation of forces emanating from the various agents involved in its production and reproduction. During the main period of Brazilian urbanization, the expansion of our cities took place practically without the regulation of the Government as to the division of the land, with the land holders being responsible for the definition of vectors of the growth of cities, on a speculative perspective of return on investments from the provision of infrastructure, this one indeed, promoted by the state. The object of this thesis is the drafting and processing of the bill 3057/2000 , called Bill of Urban Territorial Responsibility, which deals with the revision of the law of division of urban land in force, with a specific section on what it terms \"sustainable urban land regularization\". The processing of the bill 3057/2000 was initiated by the proposed minor amendments to the articles of the current national law of land division, the Lehmann Law, in order to facilitate the settlement of social housing developments. Others were joined to this project, expanding its scope and attracting to the discussion process various interest groups. On reconciling the rules of urban land division and sustainable land regularization in a single normative instrument, the Bill brings together different fields of intervention in urban areas. The research hypothesis is that the constitution of the public arena, comprising the debates and public hearings on the project, was crucial to its drafting and processing.

Este estudo aborda os planos diretores do Município de Diadema, na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo, aprovados após a Lei Orgânica Municipal de 1990, seguindo a nova ordem constitucional estabelecida pela Constituição Federal de 1988 e pela Constituição Estadual de 1989. O objeto da pesquisa é a análise do projeto de lei de 1991 para plano diretor (não aprovado) e dos planos diretores aprovados em 1994, 1998, 2002 e 2008, enfocando os instrumentos da política urbana neles contidos, bem como seus resultados alcançados durante os 15 anos de vigência do novo quadro legal e de gestão da política urbana na cidade. Este período inclui a importante promulgação do Estatuto da Cidade, lei federal 10257/2001, que norteou os ajustes introduzidos na versão de 2002. Ao final do processo investigativo são apresentadas entrevistas que registram a visão de representantes de entidades da comunidade e do poder público municipal sobre os referidos planos, seus instrumentos e os resultados obtidos. / This study addresses the master plans of the Municipality of Diadema, in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region, Brazil, developed in response to the rulings of the Municipal Organic Law of 1990, pursuant to the new constitutional guidelines in the Brazilian Constitution of 1988 and São Paulo State Constitution of 1989. By analyzing the bill that proposed a master plan in 1991 (rejected) and examining the master plans approved in 1994, 1998, 2002, and 2008, this study sought to describe the urban policy instruments included in these approaches along with results achieved during the 15 years under the new legislation and urban policy management in the municipality. This period also marked the promulgation of the City Charter under Federal Law 10257/2001, which guided the amendments to the 2002 plan. The study includes interviews with representatives of community organizations and municipal authorities who reveal the views they hold on these urban plans, their instruments, and results achieved.

A presente dissertação tem como foco temático o direito humano à moradia, sendo o seu objeto de estudo os conflitos fundiários urbanos coletivos na cidade de Araguaína. O problema consiste em conhecer as implicações sociais e judiciais desses conflitos, tendo como suporte as ações possessórias em trâmite nas varas cíveis do sistema de justiça estadual tocantinense. Os objetivos específicos traduzem-se na revisão da literatura relacionada ao tema; na caracterização do cenário dessas disputas fundiárias no Brasil, no Tocantins e em Araguaína; bem como na análise das ações possessórias que refletem esses conflitos, sistematizando o tratamento dado pelo Poder Judiciário tocantinense e sua dimensão social. A metodologia aplicada pauta-se na revisão sistemática da literatura, com coleta de dados em bases de pesquisa, utilizando-se os descritores escolhidos em conjunto e individualmente. A pesquisa mostra que esses conflitos geram confrontos entre proprietários e não proprietários, tendo forte relação com os direitos fundamentais à propriedade e à posse, e também com a urbanização das cidades, provocando segregação socioespacial e exclusão social. Vários desses conflitos desaguam na Justiça Estadual, que não os trata de forma equitativa, não observa a complexidade dos interesses envolvidos e os retroalimenta, pois não soluciona a questão primeira, que é a falta de moradia, e não aplica as sanções àqueles que deixam de cumprir a função social da propriedade, gerando, assim, uma (re)produção da segregação urbana. Na conclusão, verifica-se que o Poder Judiciário é seletivo em suas decisões, ajuda a construir a figura do invasor, suspendendo-lhe garantias processuais, deferindo maciçamente liminares ou ordens definitivas em favor de proprietários, cuja posse é presumida, em prejuízo dos posseiros, cujo interesse é a moradia. / The present dissertation has its thematic focus on the human right to housing, and its object of study is the collective urban land conflicts in the city of Araguaína. The problem is to know the social and the judicial implications of these conflicts, having as support of research the possessory actions in progress in the civil courts of the state justice system of Tocantins. The specific objectives are translated into the literature review related to the theme; into the characterization of the scenario of these land disputes in Brazil, Tocantins and Araguaína; as well as into the analysis of the possessory actions that reflect these conflicts, systematizing the treatment given by the Judiciary Power of Tocantins and its social dimension. The methodology is based on the systematic literature review, with data collection in research bases, using the descriptors chosen together and individually. The research shows that these conflicts generate confrontation between owners and non-owners, having a strong relationship with the fundamental rights to property and possession, and also with the urbanization of cities, provoking social and spatial segregation and social exclusion. Several of these conflicts flow into the State Justice System, which does not treat them equitably, does not observe the complexity of the involved interests and feeds them back, since it does not solve the first issue, which is the lack of housing, and does not apply the sanctions to those who fail to accomplish the social function of property, thus generating a (re)production of the urban segregation. In conclusion, the study observed that the Judiciary is selective in its decisions, helps to construct the figure of the invader, suspending procedural guarantees, deferring a great number of injunctions or definitive orders in favor of the proprietors, whose possession is presumed, to the detriment of the squatters, whose interest is housing.

The trial of this urban instrument is of utmost importance , not only for its social and discouraging aspect of real estate speculation , but also useful for reference and successful outcome , which may be extended to other cities forming the Metropolitan Region of Goiânia. We know that real estate speculation undermines the city contiguous and socially just before the more expensive and makes a costly maintenance by the municipality withdrawing funds from all society. Faced with this situation, it is believed that the tax should be used not only to enable the public treasury, but in order to do social justice, so that those who have greater ability to pay should be compelled to contribute more intensively, with the fulcro the abiding property of social function, inserted into the urban space. / Essa dissertação almeja analisar o aspecto legal do Imposto Predial e Territorial Urbano (IPTU) progressivo com finalidade extrafiscal no Município de Goiânia, sem ignorar suas fases de implantação e seus possíveis resultados com escopo na redução e/ou inibição dos vazios urbanos e lotes baldios na Capital goiana. A experimentação deste instrumento urbanístico é de extrema importância, não somente pelo seu aspecto social e desestimulador da especulação imobiliária, mas também útil para referência de êxito e resultado, os quais poderão ser estendidos aos demais municípios formadores da Região Metropolitana de Goiânia. Sabe-se que a especulação imobiliária inviabiliza a cidade contigua e socialmente justa, antes a encarece e torna sua manutenção dispendiosa ao Município, que retira recursos junto a toda sociedade. Ante esse quadro, acredita-se que o tributo deve ser usado não somente para viabilizar os cofres públicos, mas para que se faça justiça social, de modo que aqueles que tenha maior capacidade contributiva sejam compelidos a contribuir de maneira mais intensiva, tendo como fulcro a propriedade cumpridora da função social, inserida no espaço urbano.

Está em curso no Senado Federal a revisão da primeira lei de âmbito nacional sobre o parcelamento do solo urbano no Brasil, aprovada em 1979. As discussões desta revisão bem como as suas repercussões na formulação de leis municipais remetem à necessidade de compreensão da construção deste instrumento urbanístico como realidade histórica. Este trabalho reconstrói o processo de formulação de uma legislação federal de regulação do loteamento no Brasil até a aprovação da Lei nº 6.766, conhecida como Lei Lehman. Parte-se da hipótese que a lei aprovada em 1979 foi gestada e construída historicamente durante as quatro décadas que a precederam. Por meio do levantamento bibliográfico, documental e entrevistas, este estudo evidencia quais as temáticas abordadas na Lei Federal nº 6.766/79 já estavam presentes nas discussões e nas propostas de lei sobre loteamento entre o início do século XX até 1979. A pesquisa foi estruturada em cinco eixos de análise, desenvolvidos concomitantemente. Um eixo procurou detectar a competência dos entes federativos em legislar sobre o loteamento, a partir da legislação vigente. O segundo eixo buscou consolidar as discussões sobre a normatização de loteamentos por meio de publicações e eventos, do campo do planejamento urbano, que trataram este tema. O terceiro eixo partiu da cronologia das leis aprovadas e projetos de lei formulados sobre loteamento urbano até a aprovação da Lei Lehman. Um quarto eixo analisou o processo de aprovação desta lei na Câmara e no Senado Federal. Por fim, o último eixo se debruçou na análise de como os aspectos de caráter civil, administrativo, registrário, penal e urbanístico foram sendo incorporados nos debates e nas propostas de uma lei federal de loteamento. Este estudo pretende contribuir para a complementação e o aprofundamento dos trabalhos que tratam da regulação do parcelamento do solo no Brasil e para o debate atual da revisão da Lei Federal nº 6.766. / In the Federal Senate there is in progress the review of the first nationwide law on the division of Brazil\'s urban land, adopted in 1979. The discussions of this review and its formulation impacts of municipal laws remit in understanding the construction of this urban instrument as a historical reality. This paper reconstructs the formulation process of a federal legislation of the allotment regulation in Brazil until the approval of 6766 Law, known as Lehman Law. It starts with the assumption that the law approved in 1979 was historically and management constructed during the four decades that preceded it. Through biographical, documentary and interviews survey, this study shows which subjects broached on Federal Law 6766/79 were already present in the law discussions and proposals about land division between the early twentieth century to 1979. The research was structured in five axes of analysis, developed concurrently. The first axis aimed at detecting the competence of federal sectors in allotment legislation, through the current law. The second axis tried to consolidate the discussions about the allotment land normalization by publications and events of urban planning field that had dealt this issue. The third axis came from the chronology of the laws approved and projected laws on urban land division until the approval of Lehman Law. A fourth axis examined the approval process of this law in the Congress and Federal Senate. Finally, the last axis has focused on the analysis of how the aspects of civil, administrative, registration, penal and urbanistic character were being incorporated in the debates and proposals of a federal allotment act. This study intends to contribute to the works` deep examination and complementing that treat of the land division regulation in Brazil and the current debate of the Federal Law nº. 6.766.
