Abstract

The territory of Citizenship in the Southeastern State of Pará has had great changes and production cycles, and receiving policies and programs from the federal government. However, to be successfully implemented, these policies go through great challenges that are intrinsic of its elaboration, with regard to the participation of local collectivities, spreading of information and even lack in management process after these policies are applied. This research aims to identify through the study of this territory the process of implementation and progress of the Citizenship Territories Program, , which purpose is to reduce social inequalities and promote a sustainable territorial development, considering the local and regional peculiarities and the effectiveness of the same in the territory, discussing in a territorial approach the contribution under this program for the efficient social management in the territory, from the performance of the Territorial Development Board (CODETER) and its contribution to the Sustainable Rural Territorial Development. This research has been done by Participant Research, through direct contact with the facts and participation and observation of meetings and plenaries. For both, was elaborated a theoretical and conceptual basis of the subjects covered; presented a survey of southeastern Pará features from its evolutionary history of use and occupation until the present context and creation of the territory of citizenship; conducted an analysis of the planning process and participation of local collectivities through an analysis of the construction and implementation of the Territorial Sustainable Rural Development Plan in Southeastern Pará, which was elaborated in the year 2010; We also discuss the performance of CODETER as public space for debate and social management of the territory, this axis will seek to analyze the actual contribution of CODETER in the process of sustainable rural development and regional integration. We can conclude with regard the territorial management, that despite the historical construction of the Territory through numerous debates to think and / or coordinate public policy, currently occurs a process emptying these spaces of debate, especially the lack of social movements and municipal councils, which complicates the management and effective implementation of the development plan, this fact makes it difficult the territorial management and consequently the process of sustainable rural development and territorial integration. We observed that this public policy is still not very significant to overcome the developmental model and unequal of the territory, therefore, is not being given due importance, both by social movements as well as by various public institutions, making it difficult to obtain really effective results and the promotion of sustainable rural development of the territory.
