Objective: This article investigates the interaction between agrarian conflicts and territorial management in Rondônia, analyzing the relationship between land disputes, crime, and public policies.
Theoretical Framework: The Amazon, vital to the global climate and rich in biodiversity, faces deforestation and territorial conflicts. These challenges, exacerbated by the lack of land regularization, require policies that promote socio-environmental justice and territorial rights of traditional populations (Sauer & Marés, 2013; Clement & Fonseca, 2008).
Methods: The research adopts a methodological approach based on literature review and analysis of data from institutions such as IBGE, INCRA, and Comissão Pastoral da Terra. The triangulation of quantitative and qualitative data allowed for an in-depth understanding of occupation patterns and territorial conflicts in Rondônia.
Results and Discussion: The results demonstrate a correlation between conflicts, crime, and territorial management. The lack of effective public policies results in violent disputes, highlighting the need for integrated strategies to resolve these conflicts.
Research Implications: The research shows that public policies should focus on land regularization and peaceful mediation of conflicts to reduce violence and improve security in rural areas of the Amazon.
Originality/value: The study contributes by analyzing the relationship between land management and agrarian conflicts in Rondônia, proposing integrated and inclusive approaches to reduce violence and promote sustainable development.
