Abstract

This article analyzes the particularity of the social worker's work in the land regularization policy in the Pará Amazon, in these institutions: Companhia de Habitação do Estado do Pará; Municipal Land Regularization Program – Canaã Meu Lugar, in the municipality of Canaã dos Carajás; Terra da Gente Program, through the Belém Metropolitan Area Development and Administration Company; and the Citizen Housing Project, of the Land Regularization Commission of the Federal University of Pará. The research is guided by the method of historical and dialectical materialism. The methodology was based on a bibliographic, documentary and field survey, with the application of interviews to 14 professionals from these institutions, in the year 2021. Among the research results, it stands out that the particularity of the work of the social worker in the urban land regularization policy of social interest of the aforementioned programs and projects researched, follow a trend related to the actions developed by the Social Work teams in housing policy at a national level. The professionals are mostly responsible for: social mobilization, identification of leaders, community meetings and execution of social registration. The challenges of professional work mainly permeate the population's distrust of actions promoted by the State and the non-identification of the tasks carried out by the Social Service in Urban Land Regularization actions, becoming a generic professional for all activities. Thus, it is highlighted that Social Work in land regularization faces several difficulties in terms of instrumentality, interdisciplinarity and the need for continued training, focused on ethical-political commitment and the right to the city in the Amazon.
