SUMMARY:

This dissertation aims to discuss the problem of the continued fragmentation of society and nature and the invisibility of traditional territories in public planning, development, and environmental policies. Beyond discussing the lack of interinstitutional political coordination, it investigates the continuity of the dual environmental and colonial fracture expressed in state legislation, which perpetuates colonial epistemological genocides linked to developmentalist forces. The research is structured around three analytical axes: i) the conceptual discussion of territory, based on multiple rationalities—economic, environmental, and sociocultural—and the perspectives of classical authors, institutions, and cosmologies of indigenous peoples and quilombolas; ii) a historical survey of normative milestones and instruments of territorial and environmental management, from the colonial period to the Federal Constitution of 1988, highlighting the permanence of a concentrating and exclusionary model; and iii) the analysis of legal provisions aimed at recognizing traditional knowledge and protecting traditional territories, such as the National Policy for the Sustainable Development of Traditional Peoples and Communities (Law 6,040) and the Biodiversity Law (Law No. 13,123/2015). Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative, applied approach, supported by a bibliographic and documentary review and a critical analytical approach inspired by decolonial theory. The theoretical framework draws on contributions from different authors and articulated with reflections on Good Living as a guiding principle for harmonious coexistence between society and nature. Based on this framework, the research finds that in Brazil, while territorial planning officially acknowledges cultural and ecological diversity, it mainly follows economic and development goals, which leads to disjointed management and makes it difficult to achieve collective rights. This work is expected to contribute to the debate on the need to reshape territorial-based public policies, methodologically incorporating traditional knowledge and strengthening participatory processes that recognize and value the bio-eco-socio-logical diversity of territories. This dissertation argues that planning should be a key area for balancing different ways of thinking about land use, based on shared goals and the idea of Good Living, to create fair and sustainable policies for the territory.
