Plano de proteção e gestão territorial quilombola (PPGTQ): a experiência da comunidade Resina, em Brejo Grande/SE

Abstract

This study aims to develop a Quilombola Territorial Protection and Management Plan (PPGTQ) for the Resina Community, located in the Brejão dos Negros Quilombola Territory, in Brejo Grande, Sergipe. The plan seeks to guarantee the permanence of the Quilombola population in their territory and promote the sustainable management of natural and cultural assets, valuing identity and strengthening community autonomy. To this end, specific objectives were defined to diagnose the main territorial challenges faced by the community; structure guidelines around thematic axes focused on environmental sustainability, land regularization, community governance, cultural appreciation, basic infrastructure, and the local economy; and propose strategies to strengthen territorial self-defense and community participation. The methodology adopted was qualitative, based on action research (Thiolent, 1988) and inspired by Participatory Stakeholder Intervention (Furtado; Furtado, 2000), combining a literature review, document analysis, territorial mapping, field visits, and interviews with leaders and residents. The results consist of the systematization of a participatory plan structured around six guiding axes, which translate community demands into territorial management proposals, encompassing socioeconomic and socio environmental dimensions. The study's relevance lies in its contribution to the realization of quilombola territorial rights, the strengthening of local governance, and the development of technical instruments that can inform public policies and serve as a reference for other traditional communities.
