Conflitos territoriais e questões quilombolas: o Quilombo Quingoma, Lauro de Freitas – Bahia.

Abstract

This research seeks to discuss issues related to territorial conflicts and traditional quilombola communities. In this context, the objective was to analyze the process of struggle and resistance of Quilombo Quingoma, located in the municipality of Lauro de Freitas - Bahia, Metropolitan Region of Salvador, for demarcation and title of their territory. To this end, research was carried out in documentary, bibliographic and cartographic sources, with emphasis on analyzes of Social Cartography prepared by residents, technically advised by scholars who make up the GeografaR group at UFBA, and who they also proposed to carry out mappings with the territory's polygonals, in thematic documents on Land Use, Environmental Situation and Territorial Conflicts, which allowed their socio-spatial reading and the understanding of some issues related to the conflicts that permeate the community, mainly the obstacles political and legal issues arising from the process of regularization and titling of the territory. To achieve the desired objectives, one question was fundamental to the development of the research: given the process of expansion of the urban fabric in the municipality of Lauro de Freitas, how to guarantee the permanence of the Quingoma territory and the quality of life of its residents without breaking or reneging on its cultural characteristics and way of life? To answer the question, as well as others, in addition to the analysis of studies carried out by authors who work on the topic and consultations with legal frameworks, the field survey was relevant for obtaining data and information that allowed us to verify and analyze some aspects related to socio-environmental issues of Quilombo Quingoma. On this occasion, notes were made on the particularities and singularities about the territorial conflict in which the Quingoma community lives, and an attempt was made to weave dialogues related to conceptual themes that deal with the urban and rural issue, associating them with the process recognition and titling of the territory in question.
