RESUMO:

The study carried out between the years 2022 and 2023 has as its theme the relationship between the urbanization process of the municipality of Alta Floresta and the environmental issue. Located in the northern Amazon of Mato Grosso, its emergence took place in the 1970s, through programs and incentives from the federal government based on the discourse of national integration and occupation of the Amazon. The model encouraged by the State and moved by capital constituted a series of consequences, problems and socio-environmental challenges for the territory, both in the rural and urban aspects, and involves the constituted powers (executive, legislative and judiciary). In this sense, the research aimed to identify the main economic activities that determine the evolution of the municipality/city, as well as the way in which the legislative and political-administrative organization regarding the environmental issue historically occurred, as well as to identify how they are worked in the current municipal administration. Theoretically, the analysis finds support in studies that discuss the contemporary occupation of the Amazon, its urbanization and socio-environmental precariousness. It still has studies on the influence of capital on its various agents in the forms of urbanization configuration, and the discontinuity and/or inefficiency of public policies (rules, monitoring and control), as well as the performance of public administration and the right to city. Methodologically, the study has a qualitative approach and was carried out based on the content analysis of laws, budgetary documents and administrative documents. Subsequently, in 2022, semi-structured interviews were conducted with all councilors in office (Mandate 2021-2024) in order to analyze their perception of socio-environmental problems and the actions of the Legislative and Executive in relation to them. As a result, it is observed that the municipality of Alta Floresta, populated from a private project by Colonizadora INDECO, had a process of formation / configuration similar to that of many other Amazonian municipalities, with similar predominant economic activities, having started with extractivism ( exploitation of wood and gold) opening of areas for extensive livestock, family farming, establishment of businesses, hydroelectric plants and more recently the so-called large-scale grain production agribusiness. It is noted that even with a vast legislation accumulated in the analyzed period, there is discontinuity between laws, there is outdatedness, and a fragile structure of the legal repertoire that governs the municipality in its process of appropriation of urban land is manifested. There are still inconsistencies in the administrative structure and insufficient budget application in the environmental and urbanization areas – the main areas that are related to environmental problems; Finally, it denotes the unsatisfactory performance of the municipal legislature and, sometimes, the lack of knowledge and inefficiency in relation to the resolution of recurrent issues such as the management of water resources, solid waste management, use and occupation of the soil, maintenance of green areas , access to services and infrastructure, among other issues identified in the growing urban space.
