PUBLIC POLICIES AND PROPERTY RIGHTS: A STUDY ON THE SOCIAL FUNCTION OF URBAN PROPERTY IN BRAZIL

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the main obstacles faced in the implementation of effective public policies to ensure the fulfillment of the social function of urban property in Brazil. In order to achieve the purpose, a historical overview was made about property, its social function, as well as an analysis of its standardization and application in the Brazilian State. The Federal Constitution of 1988 was used as a theoretical reference, which established the social function as an obligation associated with the realization of the fundamental property right. The research in question is of a qualitative nature and descriptive and exploratory method, where the emphasis is the bibliographic research. In its course of realization, it was supported by articles, books and legislation on the subject, and it was found that the effectiveness of the social function of urban property in Brazil is fundamental to promote sustainable development. This understanding encompasses public policies so that we can culminate in a rational and balanced use of natural resources, social inclusion and economic sustainability, ensuring that the benefits of development are distributed equitably and preserving resources for future generations.
