SUMMARY:

The research aims to analyze contemporary land conflicts in Paraty (RJ), investigating the diversity of existing legal protection instruments in the territory and their effectiveness in guaranteeing the territorial security of traditional Caiçara communities in the face of growing business expansion in the region. The study seeks to understand the relationship between real estate capital, tourism, and spatial appropriation, characterizing the phenomenon as a form of tourism neo-developmentalism, distinct from classic extractivism.
The methodology focuses on the analysis of three recent events, considered representative of the complexity of the local land issue:
• the environmental licensing of a luxury Hotel-Spa in a conservation unit area;
• the holding of land auctions in traditionally occupied territories;
• the debates on land regularization resulting from the recategorization process of the Juatinga Ecological Reserve.
To this end, the investigation articulates the concepts of territory, landscape, and land grabbing, starting from the premise that the region is experiencing a process of double appropriation — of land and cultural landscape. In this context, private capital seeks to instrumentalize both nature and the Caiçara culture as resources for valorization, generating monopolistic income and intensifying the expropriation of local communities.
