Multicriteria Group Decision Model for Land Regularization in Brazil

Agrarian reform began to be discussed by the government in Brazil in the late 1950s. Currently, the National Agrarian Reform Program (PNRA) seeks to enable access to land by small farmers, distributing public lands divided into areas. In this context, it is necessary, within the scope of public policies for territorial and land governance, to use models to define priorities in land occupation in the country. Therefore, this study proposes a multicriteria group decision model to classify candidate families interested in joining the PNRA to select beneficiaries for public policies aligned with the social, environmental and economic strategic objectives of the federal government. For this, the PROMETHEE II Multicriteria method was applied to rank the beneficiaries using the Group Decision Support System (GDSS) function of the Visual PROMETHEE software. We then analyzed the results and performed a sensitivity analysis.
