Estrutura, processo, função e forma no setor agrário do noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul by Sidnei Luís Bohn Gass, Roberto Verdum, Jussara Mantelli

“…As space imposes its own reality, it is obvious that there are at least two different rhythms to be considered in the posed issues of regional investigation: time spent for regional settlement - that renders the conflict with nature under the view of its occupation - and that will bear new forms plain of furrows that will tell the future history of the region; the political time - presented by public politics and legal evolution - that happens left far behind regional development. It behooves the researchers to follow the applying of the new laws and adjustments to them to allow the continuity of the evaluations begun in this paper.…”
