Abstract:
The research analyzed the process of space formation in Iporá-GO city, specifically the land structure, which was formed in the mid-twentieth century and still retains original features. Through theoretical sources, fieldwork, research in documents and reports, we sought to understand the main factors that contributed to the implementation of the deconcentrated land model in the municipality, which before its political emancipation belonged to Goiás municipality. This process it's marked by power struggles and political articulation that put an end to the regional command of Colonels Odorico Caetano Teles and Joaquim Paes de Toledo, who concentrated more than 100,000 hectares of land nearby where the Iporá city is today. With the Revolution of 1930 the Vargas era was established in Brazil and in Goiás was consolidated with Pedro Ludovico Teixeira, as Federal Interventor, who adopted a municipalist policy intervening in existing municipalities, emancipating some other villages and districts and naming political allies for positions. public. In Goian West, Israel Amorim was appointed State Representative in 1938, to coordinate the process of implementation of the district of Iporá, which was already under the command of Colonels Odorico and Quinca. The plan was to deconcentrate land ownership by selling small plots in installments and lending their own money for the cost. To this end, advertisements were published in the media available at that time, rapidly promoting the attraction of people and populating the region, thus forming a district, which later became the municipality. Israel was an influential politician in the region, first elected mayor of Iporá in 1949 and state deputy in two terms from 1955 to 1963. However, trying to return to the mayor of Iporá in 1956, he lost his election by a two-vote difference. Being State Deputy of the situation, he fractionated the municipality of Iporá, in a kind of political retaliation, removing more than half of its territory and creating four other municipalities: Amorinópolis, Israelândia, Jaupaci and Moiporá. In 1962, Israel unsuccessfully attempted the third term of state deputy, decreeing the end of a political era. Even without this force and its interference, farms remained deconcentrated over that time. The 1970s and 1980s marked the occupation by farmers of the Cerrado of Goiás, with production incentive programs of the state and federal governments such as the Goiás Rural Company, the Minimum Price Guarantee Policy, Polocentro, Sudeco, etc. to populate, occupy and “develop” the Brazilian Midwest. Iporá was little benefited and the land structure implemented at the beginning of its creation, lasted, with the predominance of small property focused on livestock and, in a deconcentrated manner, still remains to the present day, unlike what occurred in the general formation of Goiás and Brazil.
