Description
Summary:<em>Permanent Preservation Areas are constantly and illegally occupied by the population, either to establish residence, or to develop business activities. In Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ, these areas have often been occupied since sugarcane mill suppliers began to use state-owned land to cultivate sugar cane used in ethanol production, molasses and sugar. This article presents aspects of economic development in the city, reviews the history of urban development with the occupation of public spaces, and also presents discussion of regularization in areas of permanent preservation.</em>
