A REGULARIZAÇÃO FUNDIÁRIA NO BRASIL: UM ESTUDO SOBRE AS MODALIDADES NA LEI Nº 13.465/17

Abstract

Abstract Land regularization in Brazil has represented one of the main social and legal challenges to the realization of the right to housing. This study aimed to analyze the impacts and modalities of Reurb established by Law No. 13,465/17, high-lighting the advances achieved and the obstacles encountered in its practical application. Through bibliographic research and case study analysis, the social, legal, economic, and environmental effects of the legislation were examined, as well as its implications in both urban and rural areas. Law No. 13,465/17 intro-duced mechanisms for debureaucratization and land inclusion, such as the le-gitimation of possession, the creation of the surface rights (right to build on an-other's property), and the distinction between Reurb-S and Reurb-E, which en-abled procedural flexibility and broadened access to land titles for vulnerable populations. It was found that, although the law brought significant progress in promoting social justice and legal security, its full effectiveness depends on overcoming structural barriers, fostering intergovernmental cooperation, and adopting integrated public policies. The study concluded that land regularization is an essential tool for sustainable urban development and for achieving human dignity.
