Evaluación del proceso de adjudicación y legalización de tierras rurales

Abstract

The legalization of rural land is an issue analyzed by several scholars in Latin America and Ecuador, who have supported in their work the right to property as a prerogative of the human being for its stability and security, so that this right is legally protected in international treaties on human rights, in the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador and other regulations, that is why, given the need of people to have a legal deed on land tenure, the Municipal Council of the Decentralized Autonomous Government of Ibarra created the ordinance for “ the management and cooperation of the adjudication and titling of rural lands; and legalization of the right of ownership in the Ibarra canton” in 2016, subsequently reformed and regulated in 2019. The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the process of adjudication and legalization of rural lands in the Ibarra Canton, for which the doctrine, theories and international and national norms were examined, in particular the ordinance, likewise, the methods, techniques and instruments that allowed to verify its application. The investigation produced a diagnosis, which concludes that the municipal ordinance carried out by the Decentralized Autonomous Government of San Miguel de Ibarra is being effectively applied, benefiting people in the legalization of their properties by allowing them to obtain a public deed. However, such an application can improve.
