Durante a conquista e posse de uma terra, podemos presenciar as múltiplas expressões da
questão social, as quais estão relacionadas com fatores ambientais, culturais, econômicos e
sociais, tornando-se um amplo terreno para investigação. O objetivo geral dessa pesquisa
consiste em analisar as razões da permanência e/ou desistência das famílias nas terras que
conquistaram em assentamentos da reforma agrária, resultantes das reivindicações do
Movimento de Trabalhadores Sem Terra (MST) na Microrregião de Ponta Grossa (MRG-19:
Carambeí, Castro, Palmeira e Ponta Grossa), localizada na Mesorregião do Centro Oriental
Paranaense (MESO-04), no estado do Paraná, Brasil. A problemática central gira em torno da
permanência, ou não, das famílias nos lotes que conquistaram e investiga quais foram as
principais motivações para a permanência ou desistência dos assentamentos. Esta pesquisa é
qualitativa, pois busca compreender a realidade. O arcabouço bibliográfico foi feito por meio
da revisão sistemática de literatura, que favoreceu um levantamento de conteúdo preciso, crítico
e reflexivo sobre a realidade abordada, favorecendo a construção do referencial teórico. Por
fim, durante a pesquisa de campo, foram entrevistadas 52 famílias, onde verificamos que o
principal motivo de continuarem nos assentamentos vai além da necessidade de subsistência,
sendo um modo de vida apreciado pelas famílias.

During the conquest and possession of land, we can witness the multiple expressions of the
social question, which are related to environmental, cultural, economic and social factors,
making it a broad area for research. The general objective is to analyze the reasons why families
stay and/or give up the land they have conquered in agrarian reform settlements resulting from
the demands of the Landless Workers' Movement (MST) in the Ponta Grossa Microregion
(MRG-19: Carambeí, Castro, Palmeira and Ponta Grossa), located in the Mesoregion of Central
Eastern Paraná (MESO-04), Paraná, Brazil (IBGE, 2012). The central problem revolves around
whether or not families stay on the plots they have conquered, and what were the main
motivations for staying or leaving the settlements? This research is qualitative, as it seeks to
understand reality. The bibliographic framework was created through a systematic literature
review, which favored a survey of precise, critical and reflective content about the reality
addressed, favoring the construction of the theoretical framework. Finally, during the field
research, 52 families were interviewed, where we found that the main reason for remaining in
the settlements goes beyond the need for subsistence, being a way of life appreciated by the
families. Ver menos
