Spatial organization, Social movement, Farmer.
The Brazilian agrarian issue is marked by the high concentration of land, the latifundium is the
materialization of the land as a mechanism for the reproduction of capital. The state of Alagoas
is a reflection of the agrarian issue in Brazil, with the Immediate Geographic Region of Delmiro
Gouveia as the cradle of the Landless Rural Workers Movement in the state. This master's thesis
is the result of research that aimed to analyze the spatial organization of the Immediate
Geographic Region of Delmiro Gouveia – Alagoas, from the spatialization of social movements
fighting for land as contradictory forces and organizers of space. As a result of the research, we
can analyze the spatialization of MST peasants through land occupation, this aspect contributed
to the advancement of agrarian reform policies, giving rise to the territorialization of organized
peasants in the Peba, Lameirão and Maria Bonita settlements, evidencing the importance of
each one for peasant recreation.
