The conflictual relation between the church and public authorities in municipal management of urban land – case study: Cruz das Posses - SP

Abstract It is remarkable the number of cities in the Ribeirão Preto region, the state of São Paulo, where the original territorial heritage is still under the authority of the Catholic Church in tenure regime. The objective of this study is to analyze and discuss the tenuous relationship between the Church and the Municipal Authority in the management of aforada urban land, with the illustrative study the Cruz district Posses, of municipality of Sertãozinho. Long lease, tenure or emprazamento are equivalent terms denoting that the resident does not have land ownership, but only the useful domain, which ends up generating, in various cities of the study area, some contemporary barriers, for example, the difficulty of achieve bank loans or endorse a business. This is due to the fact that private and public institutions subentenderem that no discharge debt guarantees, since the residents have only a letter of tenure, which means to be a document devoid of legal value to the civil power.摘要：值得注意的是，在圣保罗州里贝朗普雷图（Ribeirão Preto）地区，仍有诸多城市的原始领土遗产处于天主教会管辖的土地保有制度（tenure regime）之下。本研究旨在分析并探讨教会与市政当局在批租城市用地（aforada urban land）管理中的脆弱关联，并以塞尔唐济纽（Sertãozinho）市克鲁斯波塞斯社区（Cruz district Posses）为案例开展阐释性研究。长期租赁、土地保有或emprazamento均为等价术语，均指居民不享有土地所有权，仅拥有用益物权；该制度在研究区域的诸多城市中催生了诸多当代困境，例如难以获得银行贷款，或为商业经营提供担保背书。究其根源，公私机构均认为此类土地无法作为债务清偿的担保，因居民仅持有保有权凭证（letter of tenure），而该凭证对民事司法机关而言不具备法律价值。
