Corumba IV: Acquisition, expropriation and compensation of land for the construction of hydroelectric power plants in Brazil
Abstract
Procurement of land for infrastructure projects is still problematic in Brazil . The legal framework regarding procurement of land for such projects is reasonably established, but numerous difficulties arise. Institutional intervention may be a primary concern. As different institutions claim to exercise their competencies, acquisition, expropriation and resettlement procedures may become overwhelming. The present research paper will demonstrate the legal and practical obstacles and solutions revealed in the procurement of land for the construction of a hydroelectric power plant in central Brazil, Corumbá IV, highlighting how and when institutional interventions contribute to these obstacles and to their solutions.

Impact of the expropriation process on the urban area of Metro Concepcion
Abstract
This study is framed on the expropriations performed on the base of public needs that were derived from the work needed by the integrated commuting system for the Concepción metro area. It aims to know the perceptions of the expropriated people regarding compensations, appraisal methods, perceived weaknesses and legal instruments used on the process. This subjective evaluation will help to understand the obstacles perceived by them to an equal appraisal and regulation of urban lands, and also will extend the comprehension of the Chilean expropriation process from the perspectives of social theory, community work experience and public administration.
