Sorte de terra, fazenda, sesmaria... georreferenciamento como instrumento de análise do registro de terra

Abstract

This work is an analysis of the Registros Paroquiais de Terras of Santo Antônio do Paraibuna, current city of Juiz de Fora and some neighboring districts and cities, developing a method of generating a spatial distribution of properties through its information. Thus, it aims to: i) represent part of the land structure of the old town of Santo Antonio do Paraibuna by modeling the spatial representation of the properties, mainly the rural ones. The produced 'Spatial Distribution' will constitute an instrument of semiotic analysis and also an information system. This will lead to new methodology for the History and, especially, to the Agricultural History. From a qualitative reading, aiming its decoding through a detailed and quantitative analysis of the sources that, in this case, will have their origins in the Registros Paroquiais de Terras and their intersection. From this, it will be possible to identify and allow this spatial distribution of properties and represent them in an instant of time. After the spatial, ie, the spatial distribution will seek to perform the ‘Sized Redistribution’, ie, to perform again the Sized Distribution, adding to it information on the size of the properties. ii) to legitimize each other, a new methodology for the treatment of a historical source with the partial composition of the land structure of Santo Antonio do Paraibuna, in a case study. This methodology seeks to systematize in the form of a "summary table" a theme: Rural Properties. The development of a new methodology involves a greater scope for historical research and, in this case, one use more for the historical information derived from Registro de Terras. All this confirms, for historical research, the importance of considering and thinking about research into the relationship as a time-space continuum, in a field of any variables, as are the rural properties. As any model, we do not intend to match Ipsis litteris the reality, mainly that which no longer exists, it starts from a mathematical model to achieve the idea of proportionality between properties in this land structure. It results in a method capable of creating reusable tools in the form of a map for new historical evaluations, such as a new historical source added of new information, such as geographical, and the restoration of the information of the historical source. We conclude that the inclusion is timely in the Georeferencing in the historiographical research because their potentialities are notorious in research.
