Abstract

This dissertation is the result of studies, experiences and mainly the curiosity to analyze and expose the (possible) demands that contribute to the construction of public policies for Technical Assistance and Rural Extension (ATER) with a view to the development of rural settlements. Proposing alternatives for Brazilian rural development is “fuel” for carrying out this research. Throughout the research, a summary of the history that was developed to portray the reality of the Ibicuí settlement and the possible demands of both the State and the population in the challenge of promoting development in the respective location will be detailed. The general objective of this work was to analyze and propose the constitution of an ATER proposal that contributes to the development of rural settlements, specifically Ibicuí, located in the municipality of Santana do Livramento, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The specific objectives are covered as follows: Describe public policies in Brazil and exemplify the public policy cycle according to Leonardo Secchi's concept; Analyze the transformations of Technical Assistance and Rural Extension in Brazil, based mainly on the National Policy for Technical Assistance and Rural Extension (PNATER) and the Technical, Social and Environmental Advisory (ATES); Analyze the creation, organization and actions of ATES in Rio Grande do Sul; Analyze the portrait of the Ibicuí settlement, using as a reference the database of the Integrated Rural Management System - SIGRA (2022); Structure an ATER proposal with a view to developing the Ibicuí settlement. The methodology used in this work is the following bibliographic and documentary review research, descriptive and explanatory research and also field research. The work resulted in the creation of a portrait of the Ibicuí settlement, based on SIGRA and subsequently a diagnostic report was organized for the demands raised by the respective population. We conclude that the Brazilian State since 1988 has been evolving in relation to the improvement of bureaucratic and organizational structures, so as not to shy away from the great mission of the State, which is the promotion of protection and social assistance mechanisms for the entire Brazilian population, in this sense the work highlighted the case of the Ibicuí settlement as an example for future ATER public policy proposals.
